I'm not in any hurry and am willing to wait it out in order to get what I want and to get the best price on a LR set. Is there some statistical evidence from the retailers point of view, when sales are slow (which would seem like the time good sales would be offered to promote sales). Or a time of the year when it might be best to buy? Does the end of the year thing ring true with furniture stores too? (getting rid of old inventory)

Or is this truly a hit and miss venture?
