Black friday purchases
« on: November 27, 2009, 08:30:05 AM »
What did others get today?

Myself I was looking at getting a 32" samsung 720p for under $400. Too bad for me that they was completely wiped out of them in 5 minutes. Was looking at the 1080p version, but the ratings on that were less then I would be comfortable with. Dont have the room for a 40" so looks like I will wait until after the new year when they are rumored to drop in price greatly in 2010

Shop online!

 I just ordered for my wife and her sister a 32" Panasonic that they want to give to their
mother for Christmas. Got it on Amazon.com for $399 and no taxes or any shipping fee
Never had to get off my arse! Great reviews too. We have a 42" from the same Panasonic
line which we bought last Christmas the same way (on sale for $649) and love it.

42" Plasma at Sams club for 548$. Went to Wal-Mart, found out that the model we were looking at isn't on sale till tomorrow. Went home, researched some more, ended up going back to Sams Club.

Ohh and a Blue Ray player to go with it courtesy of my daughter (Early Christmas present)

Well worth getting up early IMO.

A pair of paratrooper pants, a compass, and a cargo strap to hold my gear.  It's good to get out of the house from time to time.

Costco had the 32" 720p Samsung for $380 I think it was. You can order online offer good until 11/30. I'm debating on pulling the trigger on this one myself. Plus Costco doubles the manufacturers warranty, and they have a 90 day return policy.

I did get an auto darkening welding helmet for $60 from Tractor Supply, getting ready to go try it out now. :)

Sig Sauer Mosquito .22 from Academy sports. Gun counter was a freaking zoo. They nixed tax on their guns for today and tomorrow. $300 out the door for the gun + 525 rounds. Needed a plinker BAD. 45 isn't the most cost effective "play" round.

 Sik,be carefully,ya costco doubles the warranty but you must package and ship the unit and wait times are minimum of 8 weeks,ya I have been there done that,never again I tell ya never again!

  I was lucky enough to recieve my tv in 6 weeks but it was damaged in shipping so I only had to wait another 8 weeks to get it back........ never again my friend!! :lol :lol

I bought a vacuum. (dustbuster for the motor home). I totally forgot it was black friday, and the people driving around the stores skeered me! (Never stand in between a store and a lady with money)

Guess I'll just wait until the superbowl sales and get one locally then. I don't deal well with bs like what you described.

I do like my new welding helmet though. :aok

I bought an Oh-Gee-You deck with a holo-foil Egyptian God card added on from the local comic store; an hour later, I auctioned it off to some 5th graders at a 150% increase of what this stuff cost me. The rare card came with my subscription to Shonen Jump, around 2.50 monthly, and the deck cost $13.83. Total cost to me, $16.33

It does count as a Black Friday purchase, I had to buy the Oh-Gee-You deck!

I got a cheapo slim external DVD burner for my netbook, a cheapo BD drive for my HTPC, and a tiny little RC P-51.  You know, essential stuff I just couldn't afford until they went on sale.

My wife got some useless crap we don't really need   :noid
