Nov 21, 2008 -- More 2008 Black Friday deals revealed

During this Black Friday, you can expect to see huge sales on electronics and toys. Clothing will not be that key of an item on that day -- even though there will be some deals on threads too.

One big electronics sale item this year is going to be Blu-ray players. In general, people haven't been buying Blu-rays even when they're discounted because the movies are very expensive. This year, however, several retailers will be offering Blu-ray movies at $10 each.

This is also the first Black Friday that the Wii will be available in meaningful supply -- and it's being discounted. Sam's Club is doing a family bundle that comes with accessories and 3 games for $224. (Editor's note: Thanks to our listeners who pointed out that there was a typo on the Black Friday website Clark was looking at when he mentioned this on air. The correct price now appears to be in the $425-$450 range.)

It also looks like the penny-pincher's September prediction about 42-inch flat-screen TVs for $499 is going to be right.

Meanwhile, you can expect stores such as TJ Maxx, Marshall's and Costco to have some great inventory. Why? They're among the few truly ethical retailers with ironclad policies that demand they pay suppliers for merchandise within 30 days or so. That's so atypical in retail.

    Clark means those retailers don't take out ridiculous amounts to debt to buy product from their suppliers. They pay their suppliers in a timely fashion rather than many of the other retailers who go months and months into deeper and deeper holes of debt. A prime example of why retailers go bankrupt: they buy more than they can sell.

    The $224 price at Sam's has been debunked. I don't know for sure if it was a deliberate fake or just a mistake. Don't go lining up expacting that low price. Just check your local ad on Thursday to see the correct amount.

    What does he mean by they demand they pay suppliers.......

    I think the Wii bundle is going to be $450 not $224
