Title: Black Friday Stories Post by: dystopia on November 23, 2007, 01:13:29 PM Did anybody buy anything or witness/take part in the craziness? I'm curious how it went.
I stayed away from the sales, but did go to a Peet's Coffee and Trader Joes this morning. Both were pleasantly empty. :) Title: Re: Black Friday Stories Post by: spacey on November 23, 2007, 01:16:59 PM Nope.
Title: Re: Black Friday Stories Post by: Aske on November 23, 2007, 01:20:25 PM not this year. decided to research my purchase (car GPS) more before buying. in the end just wasn't' sure the sale model was the one i actually want. will decide and then do the day after xmas sales .
a friend went to bestbuy / office max for a 42" hdtv and said by 10:30pm last night there were already 100+ people at bestbuy. she ended up giving up on that and going back to office max this morning at 4 and was 3rd in line and got the olevia model there. she didn't recount the bestbuy line but told me it went from bestbuy to 5 stores over (it's a strip mall complex)... which i estimate would probably be about 1000 people.

There were some pretty good flash drive deals (4 GB for ~$20), but I decided to hold off 'cause what I have is sufficient right now.

I did have fun driving with the people stopped at lights and such. Making them believe that I was possibly going to get to Target before them, and they would miss out on the last Cabbage Patch doll. Oh, good times. Title: Re: Black Friday Stories Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on November 23, 2007, 02:49:26 PM Had to work. Wouldn't have gone out anyway. Nothing I really had my eye on or needed.
