"Black Friday ECST"
they are lining up already...

Egad! Haven't seen any campers locally, but I've seen reports of people camping out at stores in several states already.

1. "RE: Black Friday ECST"
On the local news here in Pittsburgh, they showed people camping out at the Best Buy. They interviewed a few of the folks and they said they weren't even sure what they were going to buy. Lucky for them, the weather is looking good for the next 5 days.

I don't know what bargain is good enough for camping out 5 days early. I don't know what bargain is good enough for leaving my house on Friday.

2. "RE: Black Friday ECST"
Based on my local circulars, I have no idea what they're bothering to go after. Even in a financially looser Christmas, this wouldn't be a year where I'd do so much as get up two hours early for anything: the deals just don't seem to be out there. And as for getting myself any little somethings... *sigh* I looked at Amazon's Lightning Deals list and considered weeping for the lack of need to dump my carefully-saved holiday treat change. One movie. One. Items other than movies? Currently at zero with a chance to go negative.

But on the other hand, half the car dealerships are now offering Sandy Discount Bonuses (also known as 'our standard deals, only under another name'), so there's that.

Oh heck, sounds to me like these people would do anything to avoid their family at Thanksgiving!

When did the day after Thanksgiving become this vulgar spectacle? Sickens me every year.

5. "RE: Black Friday ECST"
It was a little this way when I was a kid. Used to be the mall opened at like 6 am and me and Mom would go early. But part of that was I seem to remember they often didn't really put out the Christmas stuff or decorate until that week so it was special to see all the doodads suddenly appear.

I think they mostly closed early on Weds and got the stuff up that night and probably came in extra early on Friday morning to finish up.

Seems that the earlier and earlier and more and more sales on Thursday rather than nothing is open from 6 pm Weds to 6 am Friday is maybe the last decade. I mean even the 24hour a day stores used to close, and now they don't at all.

Somebody actually did a study when the term Black Friday came into being...

Who shops on Black Friday?
How early do you go?
Alone or in a group?
Do you have a list made out in advance or just looking for bargains?

There are a lot of BF deals available on the internet. I'm having an appliance meltdown crisis (frige, washer, dryer), and I am finding BF deals that are purportedly saving me about $2K, installed and with the hulks hauled away.

Still looking and considering, but I think I may have to go for it. And I won't have to stand in any lines.

10. "RE: Let's get trivial"
Who shops on Black Friday? Not me, I prefer to take a day off during the middle of the week in early December and go early in the day while most of at work or in school.

How early do you go? 11AM but not on the Friday after Thansgiving

Alone or in a group? I'll go with others to do their shopping but I like to do mine alone.

Do you have a list made out in advance or just looking for bargains? I don't look for a bargain first, I try to pick something the person getting the gift would enjoy.

9. "RE: Black Friday ECST"
Lots of stores are opening at 8:00pm ON Thanksgiving. That's ridiculous. Let the workers have dinner and spend time with their families. There's plenty of time to buy crap we don't need starting around 6:00am on Friday.

When did Thanksgiving become a "fly over" holiday, anyway? Used to be, the Christmas season started after Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving was special in it's own right. I actually saw Christmas commercials before Halloween this year. To me, it's starting to take away from what makes the season special.

I might venture out late morning/early afternoon on Friday. No more 3am crap. I just get pissed off over the parking and long lines and don't even end up buying anything anyway.

Wow, I'm starting to sound like Dana Carvey's crabby old man on SNL. "In my day, stores closed at 3pm on Wednesday and didn't open up again until Friday morning. If you needed eggs or milk, you just had to wait and we liked it!".

I remember the Blue Law.
Stores were NOT open on Sundays.

Hancocks Fabrics. We always went fabric shopping on New Years Day. I remember buying fabric for 3 & 4 yards for a $1 !

As every single Internet-present company I've ever bought so much as a single item from sends me mail at the exact same time...

14. "$90,000?"
I think some people sitting at their computer must be punchy:

15. "RE: $90,000?"
In the days before PayPal became mandatory, you would send the seller a cardboard cutout of a check. I don't know what the electronic transaction equivalent is.

This is where I wish eBay hadn't changed their only-seller-sees-bidders policy. I'm guessing that's a list of zero-feedback wonders, but I don't know.

On the other hand, I'm pretty certain this seller isn't getting paid.

Charged for listing and commission, but not paid.
