Sales Tax Holiday Help

I have gotten some interest in my proposal earlier this week that we collectively gather some real-life information about retail prices during the sales tax holiday weekend, the weekend before, and the weekend after. I thought a little effort from a number of people might get us some interesting and useful info on whether or not shoppers are seeing the best prices during the holiday weekend.

If you missed it and are interested, read the original post. Let me know if you will participate. Turn to your co-worker, your family member, or fellow student there, and point it out to them. They might want to participate even if you don’t. Or please email the post to folks you think might have interest. The more people we have making an effort to participate even in a small way, then the more interesting and useful data we have.

Right now, I would say we don’t have enough people to gather enough information to make the effort worthwhile. I hope to get more folks on board today or else scrub the project. I hate for those who have already expressed interest to put good effort into it if we are not going to get enough information to make it feel worthwhile.

Update: I appreciate the interest shown in the idea, but overall there simply were not enough willing folks to gather enough data to make it worthwhile.
