Do you ever camp out @ Best Buy or whatever?

Going shopping?

I usually just sleep in, then maybe hit the mall at 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Rarely ever buy anything though.
 
last year I did the Amazon Black Friday sale though...got a coffee maker....one of the pod ones.....it was cool. wait that was actually 2 years ago.
 
I shop exclusively online.

Particularly when I need to shop for moms and wives who love to cook. I find the best deals for everything they could possibly want right here! You'd be utterly insane not to check it out!!!!!!!!!
 
Small caveat: It's my wife's business.

Still, though, there's some nice affordable gifts in there for somebody who likes to cook. Anybody with a stack of old recipe cards, clippings, etc....
 
I didnt "Camp Out" last year but i did wake up at 430 and went to best buy, stood in line till like 830 and got myself a badass Laptop valued at around 1k for 600$.... definitly worth it

Well i got in the outside line until the doors opened at 530 then we all snaked inside and got in line with a piece of paper that someone gave to us, guarranteeing the item we wanted...

Now this line was full of people, not only wanting the laptop, but also any other high priced computer product..

i.e. desktop, laptop, screens, etc. So the line was HUGE
 
I can't imagine doing that. I'd rather sleep in and pay the extra $$$. I hate waiting in lines.
 
To me, Black Friday is the day before Christmas. I hate to shop, so I procrastinate instead.
 
yeah. I go to the mall at about 4:30 on Dec. 24th..they close at 6 usually...but now i just order random books and crap from amazon.

Costco is great too...always have good cookbooks and shit to give and their cheap.
 
Did it once 8 years ago, at Best Buy and got a Sony Vaio desktop, it never failed, I have it to this day. lol

Yup! I was making way more than that in college selling drugs. :pimp:

I always hate waiting for tix too, i can always buy them from scalpers! :devilwink:
 
I think once I went to "Kohl's" with my mom. It was fucking rediculous...we were there at like 830am and there were so many people there. She stood in a 45 minute line to save $20 on a fucking vegetable steamer. WTF.

You bought your wife online?!? How embarrassing!
 
I might go to Washington Square at 5am for the Apple store. I'm going to buy a macbook and they have some rumored deals and I don't want them to run out of them! shit. never thought i would do it...but we'll see how it goes. probably gonna be a madhouse.

I'd go way before 5AM homie.
 
you think there would be an insane line? maybe 4:30 then..too early to be not worth it. If i don't get a computer, then i'll just buy one here later.

I'll be out with a couple of friends and my sister.

I've scored my main shit already (slick deals is a god site), I'll just load up on Blu Rays and DVD's. I also pick up shit for my mom if she wants me, too.

I'm heading out around 2:00 AM. Best Buy blows this year. Target is meh, Walmart has some nice deals on DVD's. I'll probably check them out first, then hit up BB, then Target. I've found that Target usually has the highest amount of stocked product on BF. I went last year in the evening to Target and made out like a bandit.

I also hit it good @ Walmart last year. They had a Blu Ray player on ad, but they were out, so I went to the DVD's and games to see what was up...I see htis kid pushing a cart with the Blu Ray player in it...and he leaves the cart alone. He leaves it...so I'm like, wtf and Satan starts talkin' to me and shit...satan is all in my ear, so I give the kid a 2:00 countdown. I'm just staring at his cart, and if he isn't back in 2, I'm jacking that shit.

2 minutes pass...I grab that shit, leave my cart where it is, and head for the register that everyone forgets about...the sporting goods register! I pay for that shit and bounce the fuck out. :] Horrible person, I am.
 
damn....do you think the apple store would be that busy? i think there might be a line that would be semi-long of freaks trying to buy new macbooks and imacs...hopefully they have them in stock when I'm there!

doubt people would wait to get ipods...probably more big ticket. i'll either get a macbook or a macbook pro (the 13" one).

Good luck.

I've never done the Apple store on BF. Just don't have high hopes. I always go in with expectations of getting just DVD's, games...but each year I've walked away with a "door buster".

I don't know how people start lining up on Wednesday and shit. It is crazy.
