Opinions on Black Friday sales

[atomic-fly]

I hate shopping and crowds even more, but I could use a new computer.
What are my chances of scoring one of the advertised desktops?
I think they only have 8 per store.
Sounds like a crap shot to me.
I refuse to camp out or get their @ 5 am. Maybe 6:30 at earliest.

1. Uh, if you want one the PCs/laptops, you'll need to be in line TODAY about 4-5pm

And even then you might still miss out.



Seriously.

2. Camp in your car, move to the sidewalk about 12M with an alarm set for

1/2 hour prior to opening. Make sure you have plenty of something warm to drink and simple carbs wouldn't hurt a bit.

I worked retail for years. If you haven't got it in you to do that, you will be out of luck.

5. Half an hour my ASS!

I had to go out to get some green beans, and I drove past my store. There are people camped out outside MY store.

4. Ok, you talked me out of it

Having a peaceful day off is worth more to me than
a hundred dollar in savings!
Thanks for the feedback!

7. Psst

You can usually score a pretty good deal on a computer in-store between Christmas and when the tax return purchases start around March, especially if you don't mind getting a open item.
