Did you buy anything on Black Friday?
« on: November 25, 2006, 08:07:28 AM »
I have to admit, I looked around in the midst of heavy crowds.

I had to park about 1 mile awat in our South Hill mall parking lot (I swear I got the last parking spot available at that moment in time!)

Checked out Circuit City and Mervin's going out of business sale.

Looked at alot of stuff, but my credit card never came out of my wallet! Probably because I was shopping alone, without my wife and kids!

What did you buy?

Very cool! Did you get an extended warranty for that? How long to you expect to own it? Once you're finished with it, do you expect to sell it on Ebay before you upgrade?

I went to the local ace hardware to get some stuff for repairs around the house and even it was a zoo.   they had some xmas specials and they sell outdoor decorations and stuff.  I think they even had a cheap dvd player.

Nils I'll answer just in case you arent being a total smart arse.

Black friday is the friday after thanksgiving.

Every year the day after thanks giving signifies the opening of the christmas shopping season for retailers.  It is ofter caotic and sometimes violent.

I remember my parents telling me a story of my dad almost getting in a fist fight to get me the Star Wars millinium falcon at target.  Mobs littereally form trying to get to sale items before they get sold out.  People littlerally wake up before 4AM to get lined up outside the stores before they open.

You'd think at some places that Elvis himself was performing live there but alas the store has the new "tickle me elmo" doll on sale and they want them before they sell out.

Not beeing a "smart arse". We dont have thanksgiving here so black friday was new to me.
Thx for the clarification tho.

As a sidenote..The christmas shopping starts around december 1. here, and i think that is abit early. IF they can only keep it there then i can accept it. The retail industry IMO is ruining the christmas season and feeling by stretching christmas over a too long timeframe. Personally i refuse to do business at any store that hangs up any sort of christmas thing before december 1. There is a growing movement here called roughly "give us christmas back" that is trying to keep the industry from celebrating christmas over 2 months. I bet they would really like it to last for 6. Sorry for the off topic but i really hate the never ending attempts at pushing the christmas season limits here.
