The general consensus at work is no. It'll be a fizzeler. I remember in 03-05 when the line here at the "Mega electronic" store was some 400-1000 deep for xyz product. That was at 2:30 in the morning! Last year a friend & I went at 7am and no lines to speak of maybe 25 people. After flat screen tv what's next? I'm good with what I have. How about you?

Any "black Friday" Rolex sales?

TimeToGo · 3 November 2010, 09:31 AM

I understant black friday is starting a couple of weeks early this year!

axxeman01 · 3 November 2010, 09:48 AM

The truth is I "need" nothing. I'd like the new PS move controls though, so my son and I can play a bit. That does not, however, mean that I'll be out on Black Friday. Amazon.com all the way here for Christmas shopping.

Mike B · 3 November 2010, 10:09 AM

I have NEVER got up early to stand in line for black Friday. EVER !!
Hell, I never even go shopping on black Friday lol

This year is no exception. I don't need anything, and don't want anything. Unless of course, my AD is having a blow-out black Friday sale on a submariner, than I'll be camping out overnight there :)

I hear ya. From the comfort of home. Although a little local shopping is in order. I'm a big believer in keeping the money local on many small $$ items. They just can't compete against the BIG companies on big ticket items.

HA! So you WOULD. Yeah me too

But sigh, I don't see that happening.

Anybody work (know someone that does) at a Tumi store? I want to buy myself a nice briefcase as a present for a hard-work year, but can't bring myself to spend that much money on it... (yet.. I'm getting pretty good at convincing myself

). Anybody get me a deal on Black Friday? PM me and I'll send you the model number... Ol buddy ol pal...

gettocard · 4 November 2010, 06:56 AM

I'm pretty lucky to say that I have everything I need,but I would gladly stay in line overnight for a nice Specialized Stumpjumer FSR Elite 2011. It would be my 4th bike in 11 months,I'm really into it. After 2 French bikes and 1 Italian I want to give this piece of American steel a shot,I bet I would be very satisfied !!!

I'm usually up when the stores open, just haven't went to bed yet.

And, no, I won't wait in line for a "great deal" on that year old computer, even if it is 90% off.

I used to be able to stay up until 2AM easy. Now I find myself going to bed around 11-12AM ish. It's a sad, sad time indeed

Gagebuilder · 4 November 2010, 11:25 AM

I hear ya, Mike. I've spent most of my working life on off shifts. We're so slow these days I'm stuck on day shift, because there is no other shift. I gotta get up in 6 hours, start at 5:30 am with a 45 minute drive.

But, on a plus, I'm working Saturday for the first time in over a year, so things really are slowly starting to pick up. And, on days, I can make it for dinner at the Cleveland GTG on Friday.

Zed Homme · 4 November 2010, 12:19 PM

I need a new car.... :(

Problem is, I'd rather buy a watch instead....lol

marie · 4 November 2010, 12:25 PM

I am signed up with them online and get decent deals for some things via email from them.

I tried to buy a new camera last week and my wife said “I will get that on black Friday” so here I sit in India 20 miles from Pakistan with all kinds of cool stuff to take pictures of and no camera.. My friend and I are going to try out the iphone this afternoon.

That would be the only way to get me in store on Black-Friday Thrursday or anyday.....I realy dont like shopping at all and try to buy most everything over the net to avoid a store.
My wife can spend 5 hours in Target walking up and down every aisle in the store and come home with a candle ....drives me insane

HL65 · 8 November 2010, 03:22 AM

Yes I do--I feel the need to stay away from every retail store!!! If I can't buy it on the internet -I ain't buyying it!!!

Esexx · 8 November 2010, 07:08 AM

I heard stores honor their Black Friday prices online.

That would explain my only attempt last year staying up all night, waiting in line at Toys R Us, getting a few items and a large item tag, waiting in line to pay then finally making it to the Large Item Pick Up door only to find out the item was sold out!! Then I had to go back in to the store to get a refund!

I was ready to

( I heard the employees look at the thing I wanted to buy and they said to each other that all 5 were online purchases that they had in stock)

Then a few days later, my freind and his wife explained just log on the different stores website and purchase what you want online and pick it up later!!!

no way will BF be a fizzeler

BarkMaster · 8 November 2010, 01:32 PM

I thought you said "Bark Friday".

I guess the BarkSignal needs tweaking.

Lion · 8 November 2010, 02:29 PM

I will not get up at some strange hour to get a deal and I don't buy on line. I still do it the old fashioned way hitting the bricks with my wife for Christmas shopping. It gets me in the holiday spirit!!!

Very true Lion. I myself like to go to the mountain towns like Auburn, Ca, or Placerville, Ca. The old gold rush era towns that have their own charm.
