You're probably still screwed then, too. When I worked at Circuit City all the electronics deals would be sold out within 10 minutes of the store opening, then you get to deal with pissed off people all day because it's sold out.Aslanna wrote:I don't believe waking up at 2am and standing outside a store for 2 hours until it opens at 5am just for a slight chance of getting a 'deal'. I'd rather pay the extra and not have to endure the hassle and waste of time. My time is more valuable than that!
I actually think stores limit their sales that way. I looked at a ton of ads from the Thursday paper and all the sales were mostly 6am-noon on Friday. A few were Saturday as well. It's like "Eh.. I don't want to deal with the crowds today so hell with it". Not to mention if you want to go to a couple stores you're screwed unless they are near each other.
Nice! I drove by Circuit City and Best Buy here on thanksgiving at about 6:00PM and there were already about 50 people in line at each.. They waited all night, and it was like 16 degrees outside, lol. Pretty sad and pointless if you ask me.Boogahz wrote:I didn't have to wait in any kind of line or wake up any earlier than normal. I needed to go to Barnes and Noble to pick up a special order, and I passed two Office Depots on the way there. The first was sold out so I stopped in the second one, and they had three of the monitors left. I was the only customer in the store at 9:15am.
I didn't expect to see the monitor in stock after reading some discussions about it online.
That's about it, because there weren't any "got to buys" this year in my mind. Also, its fucken cold this time of year, I'm not sitting outside all night.
Just curious if that's the soccer tournament that's played right below Bob Hope's house? I played in a state soccer tournament as a kid, long long ago there!Tyek wrote:We spent the whole weekend at a soccer tournament. Did not miss the shopping thing in the least, but coaching kids playing soccer in 60 mph wind gusts was not fun. My lips are still chapped and the allergies are killing me.
Oh and 1000....
only 14,000+ behind Winnow and falling further behind every day.
No need to bash Arizona! Back then, I lived in California when there were still Strawberry fields and Orange groves scattered about inside and between the cities.Tyek wrote:No it was in Rialto. When I played club soccer as a kid we spent every Thanksgiving in Pleasanton California for the Turkey Shoot there. We did whoop up on some overrated undefeated team from Arizona though. We only had 10 players when one got red carded, but it was no big deal. They were supposedly running a 58 game winning streak which we happily ended.
