Black Friday Shoppers?
Http://www.bfads.net leaks the sales flyers for Black Friday.
They already have a few up. Wal Mart, Sears, Radio Shack, and some others.
Good Wal Mart items:
$400 HP laptops.
$100 2gb mp3 players.
$50 Gameboy Advance SP (which I planned on buying for someone)
Thought i'd let ya know if anyone is interested.

more expenses this year!
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

yeah, day after thanksgiving. busiest shopping day of the year. personally, i prefer stay home and eat leftovers. predictions on the entire
christmas shopping season - and subsequently, corporate profits for hte quarter - are made based on the retail performance of that one day. insane.

I think that seeing those ads in advance is awesome so I emailed the links to a bunch of friends. I got this back from a friend that is generally in
the loop about a lot of differant stuff. This is what he said....
"Those have already been exposed as not being "stolen" scans but
actually they were released so that the news outlets would show them
under the guise that they were stolen.
The media took the bait and they got loads of free advertising for
their post thanksgiving sales.
Maybe it's good to know about the sales but it's bullshit that they
were stolen in the slightest."

no doubt! at the end of the day, retailers want you to buy shit, so they're probably lining up to have their ads 'stolen'!

It makes sense, but I didnt think theywould do that because now people will wait if they saw something in there thats cheaper even if they were going
to buy it this week. I would somewhat doubt that it was totally true, but the person I that sent me that email is very on the ball with stuff like
that. What I posted is a dirrect quote of his email, as is my signature on this board.

What would be great is if everyone just stayed the fuck home, but what do I know, we don't have Black Friday up here, hell, we don't even celebrate
Thanksgiving on the same day. (ours was last month) Wouldn't that throw a mass panic into the moneymen?! Give them a reason to call it Black Friday.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

It would never happen but it would indeed put a TON of ceo's into panic attacks and / or heart attacks.

Can't wait to see the Best Buy ad's. I don't know about your area, but in my area the Best Buy gets fucking MOBBED! They have ropes going around the
whole fucking store to rope off the line.
Smart way to beat the line is sometimes they have a "netflicks" offer and if you sign up, they will take you on a register in another part of the
store. Worked for me once.

One thing that sucks about Best Buy's "Sales" is it's usually all "mail in rebate" crap. I hate those things. The only time they are good is 27
months down the road you get it in the mail having forgot about it / lost hope and go "Sweet! $50!)

^^^^ I am not sure about now but I bought a digital camera and surroundsound receiver 4 weeks ago and it was instant. All deals and prices. I do
remember that when I got my computer 2 years ago and had 5 differnet rebates to mail in but now it's differnet I think. I could be wrong but my recent
purchases were instant.

Some are instant, some are not. Instant rebates are great. I don't understand why it just isn't taken off the price and advertised as much, they
have to show you some useless" instant rebate" math when they could just lower the price. I guess it is just to catch peoples attention. I see more
mail in rebates than instant ones though becuse the stores prey on people not filling the form out right, not including the upc / anything else need,
and the other percentage of people that the stores LOVE are the ones that don't send them in.
