Thread Details
To continue the tradition, I might as well start the thread now.
Black Friday is a great time of the year... for the retailers to get rid of old overpriced stuff that no one wanted to buy during the year. Don't let them fool ya. Oh no!
So post here if you're disappointed with what you see and think that the deals suck this year. Just like they did last year, the year before that, the year before the year before ...
Man, I miss the Staples deals. I still have a framed receipt of some RAM I got delivered for $0.03.

But if age is an excuse to pass the torch on, you picked the wrong fella. I might be the oldest guy in this forum. Heck, I was already one of the oldest ones 20 years ago and I expect that some of the older ones back them can't type anymore due to arthritis or senility. Either that or they found a deal too good to resist in heaven
Hey, no shame in taking the low-hanging fruit!. As for being the oldest guy here, I'll take your word for it, but I have to admit, the mental image of past Slickdealers succumbing to arthritis or scoring a 'Buy 1, Get 1 Halo' deal upstairs had me laughing
Here's hoping we stick around long enough to see the first AI-powered Black Friday thread complaining that they got nothing out of the sales. Until then, lets keep grumbling..!!
Ask and ye' shall receive

2 Laptops with FREE printer, software @ CompUsa
Mio for free @ Compusa
2 TVs, one for free @ CompUSA
2 Tivos, both free @ Best Buy (or Frys, can't remember)
2 Digital camers plus photo paper free @ Frys
2 MORE TVS (one free) at Frys
4 Flip knives all free @ OSH
Firepit for $10 @ OSH
Weber charcoal grill for $25 @OSH
A F*CKTON of toddler toys for my nephews @ TOysRUs for less than $50.
A house full of small appliances (FAR) and towels and sheets. Kohls and Macys. Everything less than $100.
Then my Mom took us out to a posh late breakfast at the Farmer's Market.
I ended up getting SUPER SICK from being chilled, but we did most online shopping and then did store pickup (first year for that for most stores).
THEN we had a 5 page long Excel spreadsheet tracking all the rebates to make sure our FAR stuff was TRULY FAR.
Maybe 18 years ago. It was EPIC though.
Never did the tent campout and always got what I wanted.
TLDR: Lowes would post something on facebook, you would get a 90% coupon if you were fast for whatever item it was. Some of them were big ticket items, 1000 dollar water heater, 200 dollar mixer, etc etc..
I personally won so many 90% off coupons I started giving them away ... trading them.. etc.. the best part was the comments on facebook from people who didn't realize how the game even worked.. the second best part was when slick dealers realized you could get the coupon twice by redeeming them at the same exact time, if you used your phone to do one and your computer to do another.
My mom still loves her 90% off kitchen aid mixer... someone got a free bathroom sink from me... people were giving away water heaters, etc.. it was THE best.
Then they did it again at Christmas!

"Buy.com is suck" I believe was the original usage of this term.
