Black Friday 2007

Anyone camping out this year?

Any great deals you're targeting?

I ventured forth early on Black Friday last year not so much to buy but to observe humanity in its most primal form. Quite interesting.

Re: Black Friday 2007

I've been looking for a good deal on a digital SLR camera. Currently, no such deals are jumping out--nothing that beats Amazon. Hopefully, some folks will tip their hands tomorrow.

Re: Black Friday 2007

As I was driving home last night, I passed a sign on the highway while going by a mall. It read: "Parking lots open at 11pm on Thanksgiving." Might as well pass up Thanksgiving dinner, and tailgate at the mall. (BBQ turkey anyone?)

Usually on Black Friday I try to stay far away any shopping areas, but I need to get a birthday present for my mom (for Monday). I'm also looking for a good digital SLR, but have avoided looking at any ads. Just the idea of trying to shop on Friday is pretty scary, having done it before.

Re: Black Friday 2007

i was hoping that the panasonic dslr would win in the customer votes thing that amazon has going on. 500 for a camera that usually sells for 1200 is not bad, but they only have 500 at that price and it goes to random voters
but it looks the $79 for wii is going to win on day one

Re: Black Friday 2007

Lots of websites which list the Black Friday deals... before the ads come out tomorrow. I like this one because of its sortable spreadsheet. My new camera (Sony S700) is on sale at our local Sam's Club on Fri at only $89.83 - a good deal for a nice camera for someone like me who doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles.

Talking Re: Black Friday 2007

I absolutely love Black Friday at one of the Nations largest Malls!

This year, I am looking for nothing special. However, on Saturday I will be moving into my new house, and I am looking for good deals on housewares.

Re: Black Friday 2007

I personally haven't seen anything worth camping out for this year. I think last years deals were better. But maybe that's because I didn't find and LCD HDTV's for the size and price I was expecting then to go for on Black Friday.

Re: Black Friday 2007

I'm camping out. Not to purchase anything, but to mock the people who camp out to do that. About 6-10 of my friends and I will try to get to the first of the line, and then stay in front of a store from 10 thanksgiving til 5 a.m. Black Friday.

We've got some fun games we'll play... but lets just leave it at that.

GL everyone.

Re: Black Friday 2007

Meh, I've never been one to attend or observe one of these frightful days. Not that I didn't want to, but usually we're still at home or a family member's house. Might go and camp at City View to watch people make fools of themselves. Just started a new job, so I don't have enough money to do some shopping early this year.

Re: Black Friday 2007

The only thing I am doing on Black Friday is going to the Celthics/Lakers game (and possibly looking for fruit flies).

Re: Black Friday 2007

Orange Box for $25 at Best Buy, with a $25 gift card I found under my bed last night. I can't wait; I would probably pay $40 for Portal alone, but then also getting TF2 and HL2 episodes (already have HL2 itself), incredible.

Might also pick up the Logitech MX Revolution mouse they've got for $50 (normally a ~$100 mouse). Spilled something on mine a while back and it's just not the same anymore.

I already have a Wii, but the $80 deal sounds unbelievable, I would definitely recommend that to anyone who doesn't have one yet.
