I think your opinion is wrong. In fact, if you play that game on the
stock market, it's called insider trading, and you can go to jail for
it. It's not illegal in this case, though. I'd expect that advance
notice of sales would be one of the benefits of being a regular
customer of the store.

Fact of Life #1)
	Prices on computers go down.

Fact of Life #2)
	Sometimes, that takes the form of a massive price drop.

Fact of Life #3)
	Sometimes, you buy just before #2 happens.
