ExitTwoEighty 7 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year with great deals. This year doesn't seem as hot as previous years, looking at the ads on http://bfads.net/ and such. Who's lining up this year to buy stuff? Also do the hockey e-tailers have sales?Personally for me, I'm looking for a LCD 37-42". Maybe a GPS system also but that's if I find a great deal.What's everyone else planning to get and at which stores? or if you have had any previous experience with lining up.

ScottMan 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 Uggh...not me. The ridiculous crowds on shopping days are one of the very few things that freak me out. I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack around all those people running around and bumping into each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sc37 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 I line up every year just for the heck of it. I get a little bit of shopping done, but it's mostly for myself, lol. Last year was nice too cause I bought tons of software cheap and made a profit on it on eBay =X It was like the new Microsfot Flight Sim that pretty much no one really cared about so I grabbed a couple of them since I knew how much they retail normally. Seing how $15 turned into $45 right quick... I generally make a little list when the ads come in the paper on Thursday, and I hurry around trying to get everything I want. Not much I want this year though cept for maybe an external HD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viking 1 Report post Posted November 21, 2007 I'll be in Canada paying way too much for all the shit I buy like always. Boxing day sales here are nothing like Black Friday. Their idea of a blowout sale here on boxing day is like "10% off all Christmas decorations!"... Of course, my mental picture of Black Friday is "Free plasma screen TV with purchase of a Snickers bar," so there's that to keep in mind. But I was just looking at that Black Friday website and drooling, because nothing is ever on sale like that here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supahdon 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2007 I splurged for my HDTV in January only to see the price basically get cut in half since. The evil voices in my head are weighing the merits of adding another TV. But honestly, if you don't get a TV on Black Friday they're only getting cheaper with time. Can't say I've ever had a positive Black Friday experience. Know too many people that camp out, miss out on their big ticket items and end up buying $5 DVDs that they have no intention of watching.

Race4LastPlace 31 Report post Posted November 22, 2007 last year's ads were way better. no way im gonna sit out there this year. Around here (louisville, ky) you better line up soon if you want anything. Got there at 4pm last year, and was 10th in line. Got what i wanted though, but not worth it this year...

sc37 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2007 Well there's some nice stuff to be picked up right now online even...Just grabbed a 1GB SD card for free on Buy.com. It'll come in handy if I can get my hands on a new camera. Idk if they always do this but they are giving $10 off if you pay with Google checkout, and free shipping too. Think everyone in my family who has a credit card just got new flash drives for free! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strosedefence34 175 Report post Posted November 23, 2007 A few friends and I last night at midnight this outlet center near us opened we decided to go because we had nothing else to do. Drove out there was stuck in traffic for about an hour my friend almost got a date. We got to the exit ramp and decided to just turn around and go home. It just wasn't worth in. On the way back we clocked the traffic it was backed up for 7 miles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
