50% of most Retail business takes place between Thanksgiving and Xmas, so the local store gearing up for the Holiday Season should be of no surprise. As for all those cars in the lot, many were probably the temp workers they have to hire to get ready! The Better news is you got what you needed in stock at a good price. I sure wish the CPU near me had that advantage. I'll tell you something funny. My brother-in-law came for a week from Israel. There all electronic related items are taxed 20% VAT in addition to their cost. Because the CPU's in NYC tend to charge full retail for everything, he commented that many items he priced were cheaper in Israel! Pretty embarressing... needless to say, I told him to simply get it over night from the Internet, (cheaper, tax&ship free) and see a Broadway show with the money he saved.
