Alright it is currently 10am CST. I was laying in bed this morning and looked at the clock, it was about 6 am. I wondered how many Slickdealers already had a great deal. SO you cna share your favorite price saving purchase or whatever you bought today.

Where did you get Left 4 Dead for $20? For PC? Boyfriend really wants it.
I got a LOT of clothes at New York and Company cheap. They had buy one get one 75% off on all sweaters and pants. Got 2 pairs pants, 4 sweaters, also two button downs. Also had coupon for $75 off $150 so saved over $100 easy.

Wish I could say I was able to purchase the all in one computer system at Best Buy this early morn. However, the line into the store before the 5 am opening stretched about a 1/4 mile, coupled with the fact one of the sales guys gave the wrong computer system to me, plus waiting time to get it all sorted out, and finally, to find out the SIX systems they did have were long gone, dashed my hopes. This was my first time in a Black Friday line and, hopefully, my last. On the plus side, I saved $600 plus dollars. Happy Holidays!

awww...that Sucks. My fav purchase was getting one of the two Samsung 23" HDTV's at Office Depot for $279.99. I'm excited that it's 1080p!!! This is our first HDTV-we have to start small.

Slow Cooker at Kohls for $5 after $10 rebate and $5 email coupon. Best part was I slept in this morning since there was nothing that great this year. I heard Frys Electronics was almost a disaster like the Long Island WalMart.

SCORE! I got the 52" Sharp LCD for 1299 after tax and the Aquos Blueray to go with it it for 159 after tax! I forgot to bring the HHgregg flyer with me to Aafees so they only took 10 off their price, but it was a good day...
So for $1,458 I got a 52" Sharp AQUOS LCD with the Sharp AQUOS BluRay Player! :wave:

Hmm, well for being outside walmart for 1.5 hrs in the cold, we came out pretty good with two of those Emerson 32" LCD HDTVs for $388 and a Samsung 1080p 40" LCD for $798, went for the $598 polaroid, but the first 7-8 people in front of us at the electronics line must have grabbed them. On top of that my mom got a plethora of other home appliances for $4-$28.
Also got some cheap DVD+Rs at staples. Wish I had a chance to go to Office Depot and pick up one of those 1200VA APC UPSs for $50, but all in all a good BF.

I think the best deal this year was the 2D/3D MagLED flashlights for $15 and the 2AA/3AA MagLED flashlights for $10 at Lowe's. They also had a $10 off $50 coupon that could be used as well. I picked up two 3D MagLED's and two 2AA MagLED's for $40 + tax!!!
Considering the 3D MagLED's sell for $35 each at Walmart, this is a sick deal!

Same here, boy did I love those rebates last year. I bought a Logitech Webcam for $20 with a $50 MIR (so i made $30), than sold the webcam on ebay for $25.
this year my favorite, and only, purchase was a Cuisinart Knife Set for my college house that had an MSRP of $170 and got it for $39 after MIR and got $20 in Kohl's cash.

i have 2 deals that are the best, 1 was a complete surprise.
the no brainer is the 299 toshiba satellite laptop from frys takes the top spot.
then i got a brothers laser printer from frys for 19.99 after mail. the in store price is 50 dollars and to my surprise the original tag price was 119.99 dollars! i had to ask twice if the sku was right for this one. on top of that they were sneaky and did not have this on the floor you had to ask for it. they had the more expensive ones on the floor.

My favorite purchase was when I stayed up until 3am waiting for Amazon to start their BF deals, and got my son his WWE vs Raw 2009 Limited Edition for 1/2 price! Also got a heck of a deal on his 26' LCD from BB, but that was earlier this week. So, my 2 major items, I saved over 100 bucks!

You are LUCKY about the camera! I HATE that I missed out on them. I managed to miss them even though my mother was in line for us since midnight last night!!! For a minute, I even thought about stealing one from someone's cart, LOL.

I only bought the below, plus some stuff at Bath and Body for me:
My favorite is the Sansadisk Sansa Clip 4 GB for $35 from Best Buy. I saw that they had it for that price online only, but I needed to get it now for our church's Angel Tree (for kids of moms and dads in prison). Walked in to Best Buy to see what I could find by way of an mp3 player, and there it was for that price (down from $80). :)
Now I just have to figure out what to do for my own family....

1) LN46A530 1099 from Amazon free shipping. (woke up at 5am to place the order) & best part is I was going to settle for the LN46A500. Still my victory was nothing compared to the FRYs customers who got the LN46A500 for 999 and LN46A550 for 1099. No buyers remorse but shoot! I could have got an extra usb port + no tax had I not been half awake at 5am.
2) The Costco 150$ TV Stand (last one on the shelf) Had to patiently wait as this womans son opted for a glass version for 50$ more. +2 pts for spoiled kids +4 pts for mothers who cater to them :cool:
Polio string cheese 48 for 12 bux =D that was the topper on the day. At home eating cheese now.

SURPRISE find!
Shoe Show had a "manager special" on ROCKPORT dress shoes that were marked originally for $99.99 - they were then marked down to $34.99 and THEN I used the $10.00 off coupon on my entire purchase xD
Another goody was at BB. I had a $10.00 reward certificate so I bought one of the $9.99 Wii games and a H2o bringing the total price to .61 cents. xD

Woke up at 10am. Arrive at the mall at 10:45am
Best Purchase:
-Via spiga pea coat at Macys for the niece - 220 - 110 - 20% early morning discount - 15% macy's credit card = 75 bucks.
-Seven for all Mankind Jeans at Filenes Basement for 45 dollars.
-Express fitted 1mx shirts for 15.61ea (for some reason the csr just let me stack this 15% coupon I had with the 25% early morning discount.
-BB Transformer blu ray - 9.99
Funniest thing I saw -
All the old ladies at filene's basement going up to the csr asking for more " mystery % off scratch tickets" again and again. obviously the csr gave up telling them "one scratch ticket per person.... lol
But honestly, this yr's tv deals were very hot. I wish I needed a TV. Why won't my Jan 2005.5 $1500 dollar Samsung 42" EDTV with 480P resolution die!?!??!! LOL

Oh boy! Be glad you didn't get the Polaroid! DH and I bought one a little over a year and half ago and the FIRST one went out in 2 1/2 months! Had to take it back, exchange it for one in store. That one lasted 5 months. Took it back again, only to have them tell us that there was nothing they could do since Polaroid sold out years ago and have now stopped making replacement parts for anything! Thankfully, we have a 3 year warranty so they were forced to give us something equilavent regardless of price. Got an LG that was $350 more than the original one and haven't had a single problem! The Polaroid had literally everything that could go wrong, go wrong. Not worth the hassle!

Sports Authority had buy 1 pair of sneakers get the other 50% off. Except we realized when we got home that our cashier forgot to ring up the 2nd pair. So I got 2 pairs of Nikes for $39.99. I'm all set for sneakers for a couple years!

I priced-matched like a maniac at walmart! Lots of DVDs, the guitar hero WT for wii priced matched to Targets $59.99, $45 caster board ripsticks for the godson... ahh it was magical.
PS- I'm at my grandmother's itty bitty town so we went to Walmart at 8 and got all the doorbusters! Dad picked up the blueray player and the samsung camera.
Magic I tell you. Magic.

Since I had already did a majority of my holiday shopping prior to today as I had been shopping both online and when sales were going on, the only Black Friday purchases I had made but am glad I got these deals are as follows:
Target: $3.98 DVDs': The Holiday and Batman Returns, $8.98 DVD: Sex & the City the Movie, Big Wheel for $26.99 for my DS.
Walmart: $4.00 for slippers for my DS and $4.97 for a Blanket sleeper for my DS.
As you can see, I did not purchase any big ticket items like electronics but am still happy for the deals I did get.

I visited my local HD this morning to take advantage of the Ryobi combo and extra free tool for $50 after using my Lowes 10off50 project starter... Then I hit newegg.com for a $15 4GB set of Corsair memory for my PC with free shipping and finally I purchased Crysis collectors edition for PC at gamestop.com for $19.99 (added a used gamecube game for $5.99 to get me over $25 for the free shipping). Overall this BF turned out better than I had expected!

No Black Friday deals, but deals this week:
Acer Ferrari F-20 LCD monitor, 10" - $130 shipped at newegg last week. (The best part is that this monitor works just as well at non-native resolution - we're running it at 1024 x 768 for NICE big print and icons. Good for saving eyesight!)
Hanns G 22" monitor from Staples for $117 shipped with tax, with coupon (thanks SD!)

Well, I got a Toshiba 160gb Portable external from Circuit City and I didn't know it was my favorite deal until just now. I thought it was just $49.99 in the store and when the guy rang it up it said 89.99 so i was like "in the ad it says 49.99" and he said uh oh, ok let me just adjust it. He didn't look in the ad or anything cause the line was wrapped around the store. I was just looking at the CC ad to see if missed anything and realized it was 89.99 with a $40.00 MIR. Guess I saved myself some hassle on that one. Slick? Yes. Fraud? Well, not intentionally.

I was least bothered. But did find an Acer laptop(seemed like display item) for $209 at staples. The sales guy was shocked when it rang that low.:lol: :lol: cuz the label had it for $499.

I'm sitting here reading through what everyone got, and it's probably the first year that none of it interests me. lol So my best black friday deal was that I got to sleep in, not spend a penny, not get caught in chaos, and didn't miss out on a thing. :)
Congrats to those who got good deals.

I got my 37" Panasonic 1080p LCD from Sears. I ordered online the day before for back up just in case. I got all the email and it was ready for pick up later that day, so I guess I didn't have to wake up early, but I got the TV early in my hands anyways. Also got a PS3 with the 30% cash back and 10% coupon. Great deal there. Now I'm on my way to Walmart and get that PS3 controller pricematched.

Nothing great on BF, today I got $49 stainless steel Magic Chef 900 watts microwave from Home Depot. It is not the cheapest one out there, but one of the nice looking. No need to stand in line. There was no one at the cashier when I got there.
Also got $99 AR, 22" Emprex monitor from Frys with free ship. Yes BF was a dud, I have spent only $400 this weekend. I need 2 desktop PCs. This will have to wait until price of better CPU's comes down, maybe another year.
Bigphil920
11-29-2008, 01:54 PM
The best things I got for BF were actually at Amazons pre Black Friday sale on Wendsday. I got the entire Police academy movie collection with all 7 movies for 27 dollars and the new Indiana Jones DVD for 6.99. The actual store BF deals were not to good.

11-29-2008, 02:06 PM
I was in Macy's and was able to pick up a nice Calvin Klein wool coat for 60% off. It was like $250 and wasn't supposed to be on sale but was on the wrong rack. Was able to get a manager to give it to us for the sale price anyways. Also picked up the $50 Best Buy printer, its not too bad.
Kristin
11-29-2008, 02:12 PM
I didn't snag any high ticket items this year... I think my favorite black friday deal is the bathroom faucet I got from lowes - bought a $100 GC to get a $20 bonus GC by mail and used it to pay for the faucet - was $88 on sale for $44, plus used a 10% mover's coupon - but then I noticed I got a $10 off $50 coupon with the GC purchase that I could have used to save 20% off the faucet instead of 10%. :annoyed: Oh well.
Second place is the cheapie $15 shop vac from WalMart. :lol:

I slept in on BF, then got an email from HHgregg about a Saturday only sell. Printed a coupon hit the store today at 9:30 AM. Got a 42" LG LCD HDTV for $597. Which was an interesting experience, even the staff didn't know about, they took it to the manager, and the manager just said give it to her.

Oh not to mention I printed 12 Victoria secret free undies coupons, the ones with $10 off bra and free panty, well I didn't get any bras... so I grabbed 3 undies from pink section each was 10.50, three from very sexy, each was $15, and a bunch other ones. The total for undies came to $112 before the cashier rang up the coupons. And I got a receipt filled with $0 on it. So I paid $0 for 12 super cute undies.
Oh wait I forgot to tell you I also got free eyeshadow, two free full size angels heavenly lotion, and three beauty rush lipsticks, and two other body sprays. all came to $0.
Oh, you must hate me right now but forgot to mention that she also gave me the Secret Santa gift card that has at least $10 in it lol!

i went to 3 stores:
walmart - 19" tv for my sister and that was cheapest one... shop vac, rubbermaid tupperware, hand electric mixer, and a shredder. went to look for some SD cards but someone else took em... and i saw one of them saying as she was waving it around..."i don't even know what these things are, but i saw people getting them so i took one too" ...omg... and here i am looking for one... oh well... there are other stores.
office depot- 2x 1tb seagate external drives after having some attitude problems given to me by the bitchy sales person, but whatever... as long as i get my drives... which didn't make much logical sense because 1 sales guy on the floor tells me to bring the clear casing to the register to ask for it. another tells me don't have hope since there were ppl in line since last night... which i knew of since i've driven by to see where the location of the store is. then i go to the register to pick it up, the girl tells me... u're not supposed to have that, u're supposed to have these, these were given at the door. go figure... so if i didn't wait at the door, and since u have the papers behind the counter at your desk, i'm supposed to know this...? so i just said... oh ok... well since u have the papers...do u have more drives? if u do, can i have another one? 1 per household, ok she wants one, she lives in another household (pointing to my sister's friend) lol... they were even more pissed off. haha but i got out with 2 drives.... additionally, i got an 8gb SD card for 15, i think that is probably the sweetest deal, but i like my 2 silver drives also :D. and 2 pack of photo paper at 50% off.
circuit city - 100pk spindle of cd-r for $10, and 4gb sandisk produo $20 [though i regret not buying the 8gb at frys a couple months ago].
online - newegg - 22" samsung monitor for 209.99 with 50 MIR, so $160 :)

Only thing I got is Samsung 46 LCD 1080p from Fry's for $899. Pretty happy about it because same model cost $1099 from other places (Best buy, Brandsmart, etc). On top of that, when I opened the box, there was some broken piece from TV. I was scared that they will blame on me, but they did give me the new one today. Feel good!

I'm sorry. But, does anyone else feel like this Black Friday sucked?
It did till I scored on the HP 40% cashback. I also got the 2 Samsung 2342BWX 23-inch LCD Monitors. The QWXGA with 2048 x 1152 resolution for $260 each at costco's. Also got one of those elevated tv stands for my 950. I also spent enough money on my new pc build (mainly at ebay), to accrue over $800 in cashback from MS.

I picked up 2 of the Acer 22" monitors at OD. Luckily for me there is a newly opened OD about three blocks from my house which not many people know about. So I got to the store at about 6:20 AM (They opened at 6:00 AM) and grabbed 2 of the 4 left. Then about 20 minutes later people picked up the last 2. Probably should have been there earlier, but I got what I wanted, so all is well. And sleeping in until 6:00 AM on Black Friday is always a plus.
hmm...I would have to say Rainbow Six Vegas 2-$10. IT was fun getting it PMed at WallyWorld :) Oh yeah...also got a toaster oven from $199.99 all the way down to $30..now that's called slickdealing.. :D

Target - Bought the 750GB Western Digital HDD for $150 on wed night and price matched on saturday for $88.88.
Walmart - Bought Canon SD1100 in blue for $139 PM to fry's. Samsung Bluray $198 (need to Pm to Sears 179.99)
Towel, seat cushion, ironing board with 20% off BedBath and Beyond coupon.
Fry's -
6GB panasonic SD card for $9.99,
Kingston 2 GB SD card for $5.99 - $5 MIR=.99 on Wed night for the pre-bf sale. Picked up Friday and told no rebate exist for the Kingston. Sat went back with ad printed and emails showing i bought it on wed night and rebate for stating that it was only good for purchase made on wed. The receipt showed purchased on fri. Complained to manager at the returns and got $5.39 back so that's no need for MIR. End cost $0.60
Memorex 256 CD/DVD case Free after rebate.
Ritz camera - 3 x 4GB sandisk Sd card. $64 -60 MIR. Salesman assured me if i didn't get the rebates to come into the store and he'd fix it. Ok whatever.
Bunch of free stuff from CVS. All of these were free after ECB so all the below cost me $4 in taxes.
G2, J&J lotion, Aussie hairspray, Twizzler, Lip gloss, 5 hr energy extra, Bic Soleil razor (raincheck for Garnier wipes, philips headphones, bic soleil)
My fav purchase was:
HP Pavilion Elite m9400t PC $699 - 40%cb = $420
- HP Pavilion dv5t Entertainment Notebook $599 - 40% cashback = $360
Didn't have to wait in line but did get a nasty headache refreshing on the Live/search to get the computer.

woke up late... we headed to walmart around 7ish? and still was able to score an xbox 360 bundle.... ummm after I read he specs. IDK if it was such a hot deal now lol. But I asked if they had any left and they told me first they were all SO early this morning so no biggie wasn't meant to be.... but then some worker was carrying 2 in his arms and I asked him if it was the bundle for $199 and he's like yup grab it while you can... so I did. Oh and they price marked the table sets they had advertised in the paper from $18 to $10.... my MIL got a lot of the stuff she was looking for too..... it wasn't a mad house... a nice crowd but not insane and everyone (buyers) were actually helping each other out finding deals.... was nice.
Mall: go there prob. like 10ish? not that crowed at all.... then when we were about to leave it started to get very crowed.... btw had a wonderful experience @ Macy's and bought a crap load of clothes for the kids too.
CVS: went super late (most of the stuff I wanted were gone but oh well) and the guy I spoke to said they did like 3 days worth of sales that morning so seems like the stores did pretty well.
Target: went later that night and got a few things... best purchase IMO was the fuzzy King Size blanket for $25..... Hubby agrees :)

Most of my real bargains came from the Wii and DS games posted from SD for Amazon. However, my personal favorite deal today came from Modells. I got 3 Majestic "Phinally" Phillies World Series hoodies for $15 each (they were $44). I got there later in the morning and one of the guys was nice enough to get me a smaller sized sweatshirt from the office.

Got Wii Fit from amazon and a $28 Bissell vacuum from Walmart. My husband bought Indiana Jones, Infinite Undiscovery, and Boom Blox from amazon for pretty good prices. All in all a pretty decent BF for us, even with the kind of disappointing sales. Oh, and my Mom got the Sony S350 BR player for $179.99, and didn't even have to go during the mobbed sale time, they found three in the back near midnight and still gave it to her for the pricematched price to sears/target. So, that was cool.
I got a deal that tops all you guy's deals!!
So I got Brand new just out Coach Sneakers, the black ones with silverish stripe on side
reg. price 118 + tax, I paid $23
Oh not to mention I printed 12 Victoria secret free undies coupons, the ones with $10 off bra and free panty, well I didn't get any bras... so I grabbed 3 undies from pink section each was 10.50, three from very sexy, each was $15, and a bunch other ones.

Oh wait I forgot to tell you I also got free eyeshadow, two free full size angels heavenly lotion, and three beauty rush lipsticks, and two other body sprays. all came to $0.

My best deal was a pair of dollhouse pumps for $8 from Pay Half. Oh, also Burlington had some cute South Pole sneakers for $30, which I bought, but I probably would have found them close to that price anyway. Also, I won a New pair of Jessica Simpson boots for $25.02 with shipping included in the price, from ebay yesterday. I love shoes lol. Victoria's secret had their handbag with spray, lotion, body wash set for $15, so I bought like eight of them to give as gifts and for $15 I got three sets of their lip gloss six in a pack sets. Other than that, black friday sucked this year!

Got a wireless Microsoft Keyboard/Mouse/Webcam bundle for $25 at OfficeMax. Reg. price $80, only 7 at the store in my area. They had them out in front with the other Doorbusters, so they went quick. Luckily the day before Thanksgiving I stopped in and hid one in the back aisle. Friday morning all of the bundles were long gone by 9 AM but I didn't panic, just waltz down to where I hid one a couple days earlier and got my Black Friday doorbuster without having to camp out. Afterwards called it a day because BF deals were just mediocre this year.I know what I did was wrong, but I tell myself at least I didn't trample on anyone:shake:

2007 was not my year - bad exp. at CC; 2006 was not my year, too far back in line at BB. This year i was determined to do it right. Went to OfficeDepot located in a "small city" in east coast Florida, got there at 6pm shortly after my Turkey dinner; nobody in sight~!! :woot:
7pm one more guy came; car full of kids; they went to a movie; we sat and talked about how crazy we were. :D
8pm friend of mine came to sit in my spot so i could go home to watch Survivor. :omg:
930pm went back to my spot - yeah i'm crazy but i was determined.
2am getting delirious. :omg: But Went to Walmart around the corner to go potty and "check out" the lay of the land in case there was anything i wanted.... found exactly what i wanted and went back to my #2 friend to tell him about it.
3am planning what to do. We were joined by 2 more people.
4am went back to walmart to "prepare" for the 5am opening, get my stuff, and get a DVD player for him. When i left OfficeDepot, we had 2 more; total 6. :D
5am. Walmart reveals all their crap, picked up these fine treasures:
portable DVD player $49, no brand-name, not sure if it will be kept or returned;
three USB sticks, for me, 4GB only $9 bucks each, those went fast, should have got more;
HP printer all-in-one for $29, you can never have too many, never know when one is gonna break;
two 2GB SD photo cards for $7 bucks each.
trivial pursuit 80s version $10
bag of super-size lego's $10
canister of playdough $10
shopping is DONE~!! :woot:
5:40am. back to officeDepot, friend #2 said store people were getting ready to hand out purchasing tickets.:P
5:45am. got my laptop coupon for the HP $349 (just need to wait for $50 mail in rebate, no problem).... While I was gone, I missed was the lady from Panera Bread who came by to pass out $10 gift-cards, but the guy #4 gave his to me because he said he didn't want his wife to get it and he had never eaten at Panera's... so he didn't want it.
6am. Doors open and it's time to shop~!! Also got the SeaGate 500GB external drive, only $69, same one at Walmart~!! also got 50-count DVD and 50-count CD blanks, $4.99 and $7.99; mouse for $4.99 after rebate. And a USB hub for $7 I think....
7am. finally got to the register; my particular person had no clue how to ring up the "bonus" purchase of the Microsoft Office 2007 "bundle" with free installation, :( and it was a confusing mess because i wanted to split it between 2 credit cards.... anyway long story short it took me almost 35 minutes to get out of there. Yes 35 minutes standing at the register with some girl who had no clue... you'd think they'd have lessons on bundles BEFORE the big day..... Wound up taking back the Office2007 software the next day because I remembered I didn't like the 2007 program....Will install my XP disc.
After OfficeDepot went to Belk's and got a bunch of early-bird sweaters and a red jacket, all at great savings.
Think i'm done with BF until i'm ready for a HDTV or flat screen. haha.

very interesting thing about those who got "free" stuff that wasn't really "free" - i.e. the external drive at O.Depot and the "free" panties at Victoria's Secret.... those were meant to be free when you bought a bra... So it's because of folks like you that prices are higher during the rest of the year... to make up for BF thefts like this......
My favorite is the $139. 1T external hard drive from office depot. I bought it with a few other things and when I got home I discovered that the guy forgot to ring it! =FREE
It baffles me because I know I saw him ring it.
Then I hit staples strolled in @ 9:30 am and could not believe I was lucky enough to get the last $349.99 laptop! Woohoo!

A local True Value had a "Black Friday" weekend where their sales lasted from Friday-Sunday. Nothing caught my eye in the ad, but they did have a 50% off coupon for any item under $50. I looked around the store for about 20 minutes till I found a 6foot step ladder for $49.99. :D Handed the cashier the coupon and walked out with the ladder for right at $26 with tax. I've already got a nice 24foot ladder, but man does that thing get heavy caring it around, and for that price I couldn't pass it up!

Well this is the 1st BF that I "slept in" and did not wait in line for the doors to open, usually at TRU. However I did head to Wally World at about 6am and got:
Pink 4N1 Stick vac for 7yr old DD- $9
5 High Scool Musical character dolls - $5 ea
6 pc Luggage- $44
Call of Duty World at War XBOX 360- $39.99
Halo 3 XBOX 360- $30
Wrangler jeans for son- $8
Pink coat for DD- $8
6qt Crock Pot- $15

KMart
Weight bench with weights included for hubby- $79.99 (reg. $130)
2 pr Gold hoop earrings for DD- $9.99 (reg. $49.99)
I really didn't think this yrs deals were all that great, so i got 2 sleep in. I think i got better deals online, for example, my son's XBOX 360 Elite with 2 games, headpiece, and some more stuff, from Dell for $299. Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe for $44, and Soul Calibur 4 for $29.98, both from Amazon.
I still had fun on BF and got some good deals, but it was DEFINITELY not like BF's from the past!!

4 rocking chairs from Lowes, marked $77 but I had the cashier ring them up one at a time and kept using the $10 off $50 coupons so they came out to $67 each. These things never go on sale and the wife has wanted them forever.
I picked up a few other odds and ends, mostly from Sears and Lowes. No spectacular deals, but everything was decently priced.

Not only that but also to have all your friends compliment your jeans on your first outting with it and they think you paid over $200 for the same pair of jeans....... PRICELESS! ;)

Went to BB at 8:50 to ask about the computer with the 18.5'' monitor and the canon printer for $299. I knew it was a shot in the dark, but gave it a shot. I know it's not the best one, but it works for what I needed.
The manager told me that they gave out tickets, and whoever got tickets for that computer that did not claim them by 9, would be unable to get the computers. They even announced it on the loudspeaker.
In any event, the manager said that at 9 go wait by the stockroom, and if there were some available, he'd get me one. Sure enough at 9:10, I was paying for the computer.:woot:
