BlackFriday has been non existent for a decade now. I keep thinking what's missing? And it's DoorBusters

First 10 people in line get that PS5 they have in stock. Anyone else remember doorbusters ?

They should stay in the past. Not many people, myself included, are willing to waste time camping outside a store with no guarantee the store even has enough inventory for yourself.

I'm with you! I'm not even sure if you can call it Black "Friday" anymore, they might as well change the name!

Sure. Not something I'm missing, though. Looking back, what a waste of time. And I wasn't even one that was camping for days in front of the stores. LOL! LMAO

That's part of the thrill. I recall the Nintendo Wii madness which is unsurpassed people would rush to BestBuy on Saturday morning in hopes "the truck" had delivered some Nintendo Wii's only to find out they got 20 units in and I got lucky and was #19 oh what a great day.

Now everyone wants to click and buy without putting any effort out.

Y'all are a bunch of amateurs. The smart people would get the ads in advance, buy everything they wanted a week or two before (Doorbusters included), then saunter in later in the day on BF and pricematch it. Once they caught on to that, you'd just use your credit card price protection to do it from the comfort of your home. I always laughed at the camping geniuses. I miss the days of feeling superior. LOL.

You went there for the experience. People would make coffee runs, food runs for the whole line. We'd BS with fellow crazies all night long. We were best friends....until those doors opened anyways, then it was all business. We'd fight to the death for the last $3.99 copy of The 40yr Old Virgin or the last $19.99 Canon All-in-one inkjet printer. Lmao 🤣

My favorite BF memory was buying $2.99 toaster from Sears. It was a door buster deal, I swear!

Haha 💩 that's hilarious. I miss Sears, KB Toys, Toys R' Us, the REAL Orange Julius, Imaginarium, Kmart, CompUSA, Fry's electronics, Radio Shack, and so much more! Bring back the 90's and early 2000's!
