SHOPPING

DEALS

11/5/2008 11:11:54 AM

This will be the last one, because Obama is going to change the name next year.

11/5/2008 11:27:44 AM

yeah "black friday" sucks

it needs to be "awesome friday"

11/5/2008 11:33:08 AM

"you are crazy if you even go anywhere near a mall" Friday

11/5/2008 11:34:21 AM

lol at companies copyrighting their prices so no one can publish black friday ads early

11/5/2008 11:59:46 AM

Last year, as the Thanksgiving party went through the night I decided it would be a good idea to keep drinking until 5:00 a.m. and then go to Circuit City. The plan was to load a shopping cart full of the best deals and then walk around the store selling people the option to buy the items. So, for example, if you wanted the 50% off Polk speakers you could pay me $20 and I would give them to you and you could take them to the counter to buy them.

Hilarity did not ensue.

To be honest, I couldn't even find any of the good deals. It was weak.

there are going to be CRAZY deals on 37" LCD's.

i'm pretty sure wal-mart will have another great deal.

11/5/2008 3:38:51 PM

11/5/2008 4:06:01 PM

3) mp3 player
4) 1-2 TB External HDD (2)

6) cheap ticket back home ( i dont see this happening )

yeah and some more stuff !!1

11/5/2008 4:22:04 PM

I think the big store's ads will be slowly leaking out in the next couple of weeks. Just keep an eye out for it.

11/5/2008 6:18:07 PM

I SO thought this was about something else... oops. (Then again, this is tww.)

11/5/2008 6:27:34 PM

I'm hoping there will be desktop deals.

11/5/2008 7:18:50 PM

don't you mean black tuesday?

11/5/2008 7:53:09 PM

apparently a few stores are copyrighting their black friday prices, making it illegal to post up leaked prices...

11/5/2008 10:28:37 PM

it's tradition every year my mom and i look at the sales papers thanksgiving night and make a game plan for the next morning. it would spoil the fun to see the sales early imo

11/6/2008 7:18:37 AM

Wal-Mart is doing a Pre-Black Friday Sale this Saturday starting at 8am. They will have a
Compaq CQ50-139WM 15.4" laptop with 2GB ram and 160GB hd for $298.

11/6/2008 6:40:03 PM

so is that laptop a piece of crap or what? i need to get one for grad school

11/6/2008 7:05:08 PM

Great laptop for $300 as far as I can tell

BJ's has a 37'' LCD for $600 for a pre-holiday sale and a 32'' LCD for $470.
Can't wait till I get a 37'' for under $500.

I'm not sure I understand how this benefits the store. Unless it's the keep other stores from trying to outprice them?

if its copyrighted, we cannot post it up without their permission.

they will lose sales if everyone finds out what they are selling (if people end up not liking what they are selling)... they want to drive traffic to the store

11/6/2008 10:52:07 PM

The value is this thread is that I'm not the only one who's participated in drunken, haven't-slept adventure. on black friday. they never end well

[Edited on November 6, 2008 at 11:54 PM. Reason : .]

here's the thread i made about it in tech talk. amongst the "i'm smarter than you" responses, someone said its standard and doesn't really mean anything

11/7/2008 7:51:27 PM

so did anyone get one today? the wife and i each got one, one to keep and one to hopefully resell

11/9/2008 1:21:51 AM

you got one of those laptops?

11/9/2008 4:38:23 PM

Sounds like a good day for me to go squirrel hunting.

11/9/2008 5:15:10 PM

^^ yeah, why

11/9/2008 7:04:29 PM

can employees partake in black friday?

i'm thinking about getting a seasonal job at BB so i can use the employee discount

11/9/2008 7:10:20 PM

i think the rule is you can, but it can't be at that same store, but i could be way off on that
