Now that Black Friday has come and gone, it set the tone for what's selling this season.

If you're looking for electronics, the trend seems to be advanced models of what you've seen before.

"Cameras are probably the biggest.  IPods are big.  There's a lot bundles with iPods, free headsets and those types of things," said Brad Berrett the General Manager for Ultimate Electronics near 71st and Mingo.

Another popular item on Black Friday was washers and dryers.

"Oddly enough. laundry has been extremely successful this year," said Berrett.

Plus, with the economy more people are deciding to spend time at home and that's making TVs a hot selling item this holiday season.

"They're spending a great deal of money on home theater to go with the TV," said Berrett.

In fact, one shopper waited in line Friday morning for a TV and was already back on Saturday.

"They had this fantastic buy on a TV, and I got the fifth one," said Bill Flatt, a shopper.

Shoppers say the sales this season have been good too.

"Love the sales.  Yah.  They're wonderful," said Flatt.

Berrett says one of the best things shoppers can do is go in and and look at the electronics because there's so much information out there it can be overwhelming.

"They have their mind made up once they come in here, but they may change it once they see the difference between a 60 Hertz and a 120 Hertz," said Berrett.

Brad says to look out for bundle deals too, like a Blu-ray player-TV combo.
