its my first time going to a black friday.... im not sure about prices, and im not sure at what time im supposed to be at the store... any ideas?
ahh so you can camp outside the store? xDRyukouki said:Prices usually go super low on great stuff. Be there bright and early a few hours before opening. Best case campers sit out the day before. I did it once and it was so much fun
Nice... lol but it sounds so negativeBlood Fetish said:Black Friday is a marketing scam basically. The way it worked in the past is stores would offer incredible discounts on items, and you would show up a half hour before they open and line up. The way it works now is there are barely any discounts, and people start lining up a day or more ahead of time. People are just stupid.
Ahh mom suggested we get there at 1 AM xD i told her that might be too earlyRyukouki said:I know at my neighboring Best Buy last year this really nice system went on sale at like half price. I got there 6 hours before opening time, and theres a huge snake in the parking lot.It's that crowded.
no.. im just trying to get cheap stuff i need a new desktop. thats the reason i asked how does black friday workBlood Fetish said:Are you people buying things just to buy them?
smash_brew said:Having worked in retail management for the last 12 years i know a few things about black friday. there are some really great deals to be had but the most coveted deals are usually extremely limited. If you are looking to get one of these limited quantities deals then be prepared to eat thanksgiving dinner outside the door at best buy. At my local best buy people start waiting in line around 5pm on thanksgiving day and camp out for the night. usually the retailers will send out someone to hand out tickets for the limited deals about and hour or so before they open. they go down the line and ask what you plan on purchasing. they give you a ticket for each of the deeply discounted items. it's always first come first serve and the good deals go fast. if you are able to get a ticket for the item you want you bring it to the register/service desk to pay and retrieve your item. then go home and sleep cuz you've just spent the night standing outside in the cold.
