View Full Version : Post your Black Friday '05 Wish List
i-bystander 9-22-2005, 4:20 PM Since Ross started it with this thread (http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=13172), I thought I'd simply follow suit. (He's not the only one who can't wait for BF, you know!)
What's on your Wish List?!

Keebelf 9-22-2005, 4:26 PM the only thing on my list, and I can get this at anytime, is a new electric mattress pad for the winter. maybe some new flannel sheets but that is about it.
Frieked 9-22-2005, 4:35 PM Don't really have a wish list right now... I just heard news of a Treo 700 today on engadget.com and my cell phone plan is up in december so I may make the switch from my blackberry to the Treo.

You both are too impatient, lol. These threads will be moved to the BF forum when the site launches.
BTW, sort of off-topic, but what does everyone (who cares) think we should do with the existing posts in the BF forum? Should they all remain open so people can bump them this year or should they all be locked so we start off with new threads this year. Any thoughts?
i-bystander 9-22-2005, 4:40 PM You both are too impatient, lol. These threads will be moved to the BF forum when the site launches. LOL, that way the forum won't be so bare when we do open it up! :g_laughin

Should they all remain open so people can bump them this year or should they all be locked so we start off with new threads this year. Any thoughts? I'd say lock them - no sense talking about last year's deals when more can be found this year. Besides, they can always create new threads instead...
have a 2005 black friday forum, keep the 2004 forum for referance, then in 2006 dump the 2004 forum.
Keebelf 9-22-2005, 4:43 PM LOCKED!
It is way too confusing to have the posts open and epopel posting to them but half of the posts are last years topics.
Leave them up so newbies can see them but lock them up tight.
I agree that they should be locked. I don't know if we should move them to another subforum or just keep them in where they are. If we keep them as one forum, once the forum's been open for a few days, all the posts from last year will no longer be on the first page anyway. There are still a lot of useful threads from last year not dealing with specific items (such as tips, etc...) so we don't want to make them too hard to find.
DigDoug 9-22-2005, 4:56 PM I agree. The regulars haven't seen the posts in a long time. Lock em up. :)
Not sure what I want yet. I need to see the lists first.
freesia39 9-22-2005, 4:58 PM so to get back on topic:
1. LCD. if i can get a great price, i'll replace the one i have now. fry's has the one i want for 199 after rebate, but my dad got the exact same one without the rebate hassles. i'm waiting.
2. any good clothing deals. that's all i need for now. maybe an ipod but those won't be on discount.
outnumbered 9-22-2005, 5:12 PM My list...a cd player for the van, the Pixter Color (although if circuit city gets any back in stock, I'll buy that before BF as they are only $40 there and $80 everywhere else right now)...and pretty much everything else I want to get will be decided by the ads.
As for the 2004 forum, I say lock the posts and keep it as a subforum of the BF 2005 forum...then after BF 2005 is over, delete the 2004 one and keep the 2005 one as a subforum of something (however you have the 2004 one set up now), or keep both 2004 and 2005 locked as subforums like you do with the 2004 now...ugh am I even making sense? I think I've lost myself now. ;)
JonathanM 9-22-2005, 5:17 PM Mostly just a nice 19" or larger lcd to replace the crt monitor here at the business, and maybe some good computer parts that are on special.
As for the XBox 360, thats my birthday present to myself.
19" LCD w/12ms response or better.
Possibly in Oct or possibly BF - portable laptop for my wife.
Dream:
MP3 Player that's at least 60GB, displays photos, works as portable HDD, built-in FM tuner and transmitter, removeable battery, as thin as the regular iPod, and with an easy to use interface. <$300 should be fair, right?
nofunatall 9-22-2005, 5:33 PM Lots of Toys :tongue1:

I'll take one :) Although take out the FM tuner and transmitter and replace it with a built-in XM receiver.

That works for me, too. I keep forgetting that the new car has an aux jack, so I don't need the FM transmitter.
beatmix01 9-22-2005, 6:02 PM I PSP would be cool so I could mod it.
and a GPS would be tight!
RossMAN 9-22-2005, 6:51 PM HDTV LCD or DLP
GPS car navigation
I agree with the others, keep the Black Friday 2004 posts locked. The last thing we need is hundreds of old threads to be bumped.
Pliablemoose 9-22-2005, 7:04 PM HDTV LCD or DLP

OK, last year's posts are now in their own subforum of the main BF forum. Once BF 2005 is over, both the 2005 and 2004 forums will become subforums of the Offline Deals board as they are now. We'll decide next year whether we want to keep 2 years of archives, but for now there's no reason to delete them as there are less than 500 threads in the forum.
SynthDude2001 9-22-2005, 8:14 PM What I want:
-Huge hard drive (400GB+ ideally, HDTV capture can make any hard drive appear small ;))
-Maybe a good inexpensive (~$500?) HDTV for my mom's house
-DVD's, boxed sets (Simpsons, 24 season 4 if it's out yet, maybe others)
-Axim X51v ;)
-Maybe a laptop but probably not since I won't have that much money (unless everybody throws tons of money at me when I turn 21 the week before Black Friday :P)
That's all I can think of now...I'm sure there will be more though ;)

genoandkiddo 9-23-2005, 8:55 AM A really nice CD Player x 2
DVD recorder x 2
DVD's the cheap ones
And A Flat Screen TV $200 would be nice
Oh and would love to get a new computer (Mines a Dinosaur)
Zen Vision looks sweet! If it goes <$300 by then, I will probably buy one.

That would be nice to have too.
Humm a new washer and dryer is needed here so many another big discount at sears that day. Some stocking stuffers. Another cheapo handmixer since mine from 2 BF's ago just burnt out (for $4 thats not to bad lol) A steam cleaner for the floor maybe. Love the DVD box sets they normally have. Just going to look at the list and go from there basically. How much people pay for XBOX 360's on ebay will tell. If I have a REALLY good time with selling them maybe a HDTV for the livingroom lol

elena_398 9-26-2005, 10:30 PM Tv for my sons room (15" or larger color), gameboy advance for my daughter (basic one- not sp as she is only 6) and my husband wants Battlestar Galactica Season 1 DVD set. Other than that, basic toys for the kids and stocking stuffers
nineofus 9-27-2005, 1:46 PM Laptops for the 2 that started college this fall.
Great deals on fuzzy slippers for the other 5. :)
geomacey 10-1-2005, 4:55 PM GREAT DEALS! <LOL>
Definately a portable dvd player and haven't really given much thought to what else yet.
Bring on Black Friday!
Klipsch RF7's and an HK receiver or something along those lines
21yankees 10-1-2005, 7:45 PM A portable dvd player. That's it for now. Not really sure what my kids want this year.

Those doodle bear things
Madagascar for PS2
Tak (the new one) for PS2
A good deal on one of those satellite radios would be nice too lol
jennirv4967 10-3-2005, 10:16 AM since i have little boys...clothes and toys! maybe a cheap shout elmo... and for mommy....a babysitter!
elena_398 10-3-2005, 10:23 AM I also need to get my parents a DVD player. They want a duel one w/ a VCR too. Hopefully I can get a great deal on that.
lesliepear 10-3-2005, 10:43 AM New digital camera to replace my 2MP Olympus.
Wireless laptop (a real wish...my husband probably won't go for it.)
Free after rebate CD's and jewel cases (no one seems to offer these anymore in the DVD/MP3 age).
starshine 10-4-2005, 9:35 AM Cheap TV for son's room and one of those bean bag video chairs so he can play video games. Air compresser for DH. Those are the only thing's I really have left to buy but I'm sure I'll find other thing's to spend my money on!
fairydustcrissy 10-4-2005, 10:11 AM OK, not a wishlist, but i feel compelled to post. For those who want sat. radio, does it need to be XM? or is sirius ok? Target has sirius recievers on clearance right now, I almost got one, but i dont want a monthly fee. For those looking for TVs, SEARS! Thats where I got my girls 19" for 58.00 last BF. And for the person posting about a pixter color, have you thought about a leapster? they are soo much better. If price is the deciding factor, get a pixter for 40.00. If not, splurge the extra 20 or so on the leapster. We have had one since the year it came out (3 years ago? I think) and my kids still love it.
Crissy
phins_jazy 10-4-2005, 10:17 AM A new monitor.....ours just bit the dust
I forgot to mention what's always on my wish list, but I can never seem to find a price below retail:
Henkel's Pro-S Cutlery Set w/Santoku Knife.
I have the carving set of this type and it's pure cutlery bliss. :)
t_mulkey 10-4-2005, 2:14 PM I will be looking for portable DVD players and and a couple of TVs.
And hopefully a lot of great buys.:crossfing
Princessarky 10-4-2005, 2:57 PM looking for some portable dvd players and pretty much anything that I think I might ever use or give as a gift is good
Gumball 10-6-2005, 7:40 AM I just found out I'll need a new small TV for the kitchen so I'll wait until BF to get one. This time I'll try to get one with a DVD player in it. :)

LCDs prices are droping like crazy. I don't know your budget, but I would expect to get a really decent LCD TV for cheap this holiday season.
Gumball 10-6-2005, 7:49 AM Whatever I get, it will have to be cheap. Looking for about a 13" screen at the largest or it'll be too big. No Best Buy or Circuit City close by either. :( I just had to replace the living room TV.. couldn't wait for BF this time. Got a 27" flatscreen at Walmart for $198. I've seen others at better prices but they were too big to fit the space I have for it. :fedora:
jadedmomof2 10-6-2005, 9:30 AM Mp3 player, Leapster, CD-R's, Rescue Hero stuff for my youngest son, Farscape, futurama, and Firefly DVD boxed sets.
AuntJamelle 10-6-2005, 10:20 AM Palm Zire 31, Men's Leather Coat, Men's Dress Shirts, Girl Clothes, Boy's Winter Coat...and plenty more! But those are the main things. :)
Tracy72 10-6-2005, 2:54 PM got to get a good deal on 2 portable dvd players this year for my 3 and 9 yr old....hope there is a good deal outthere
Gumball 10-6-2005, 2:58 PM got to get a good deal on 2 portable dvd players this year for my 3 and 9 yr old....hope there is a good deal outthere
I bought 2 last year at pretty good prices, one was from Radio Shack and the other was from CVS. Can't remember the price right now but both were around $79 or so each.
buckwheat_jegc 10-6-2005, 3:08 PM Me personally...tempurpedic or sleep number bed...LOST season 1 DVD set...iPod w/camera and the most gigs. Son #1 wants the PSP, cash and an iPod. Son #2 wants the vtech vsmile, iPod shuffle and eight games for either of his game systems. Strange how technology changes people's wants. There was a time when all kids wanted for Christmas was their two front teeth.
buckwheat_jegc 10-6-2005, 3:10 PM I shop in the BX (military base store) and got a portable DVD player last year for $20. It works GREAT!! I think it's a Mintek. I hope to get some more of them this year, because I had purchased four at the time, but ended up giving three as Christmas gifts.
rockpzazz 10-6-2005, 4:23 PM I think the main thing I want is a DVD/VCR Recorder. I'm sure I will find other deals, but thats the one I'll wait in line hours for.
scottmso 10-6-2005, 9:38 PM Hoping for a decent CRT HDTV or LCD TV for less than $300...
Stowasser 10-7-2005, 11:00 AM Hmmmmm...
PS2 console
Those doodle bear things
Madagascar for PS2
Tak (the new one) for PS2
A good deal on one of those satellite radios would be nice too lol
Not sure you will get back on but Amazon.com had Satellite Radios for $0, they were $49.99 with a $50 rebate....Sirius Brand....
Grants Dad 10-7-2005, 11:16 AM After putting on better than 5000 miles in wedding trips alone this summer (my user name should be griswold), I'm thinking a portable DVD player with dual screens would be key for helping to keep the boy entertained.
Tracy72 10-7-2005, 8:41 PM my 3 yr old just told me the other day she wants that angelica doll that has makeup to put on...so know I just have to find what she is talkingabout...lol
RossMAN 10-7-2005, 8:43 PM my 3 yr old just told me the other day she wants that angelica doll that has makeup to put on...so know I just have to find what she is talkingabout...lol
It's probably similiar to the doodle bears (http://www.walmart.com/search/browse-ng.do?ref=125871.128794+500528.4293860306&path=0%3A4171%3A4187)
i-bystander 10-7-2005, 8:47 PM my 3 yr old just told me the other day she wants that angelica doll that has makeup to put on...so know I just have to find what she is talkingabout...lol It's this one - Total Makeover Angelica Doll (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3933961). :)
Tracy72 10-7-2005, 9:03 PM It's this one - Total Makeover Angelica Doll (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3933961). :)

2 portable DVD players
mrs4dtough 10-8-2005, 1:54 PM I would like to see a good deal on V SMile or Prtable V Smile & DVD box sets. I loved last years deals!
diane175 10-8-2005, 2:18 PM I am hoping for a good deal on Nintendo DS and hopefully I can score some PS2 games for my son. Collecting BestBuy bucks from McD's for the sale! LOL Hopefully we can use them on that day! :)
elena_398 10-9-2005, 11:12 AM GameBoy Advance or the SP version, 15" or larger color tv for my son's room, Bratz toys and dolls for my daughter, Bratz or Kim Possible bedding, Keyboard for my son. I could go on and on! LOL
pinelnelem 10-10-2005, 4:00 AM DS wants a new gamecube. :)
amymisha 10-11-2005, 1:10 PM I'm really hoping to find a Ninetndo Advance or SP for my daughter at a reasonable price. Or a portable DVD player.
knittingarrows 10-13-2005, 12:03 PM I'm looking for the Portable DVD player (dual screen w/built in game console) that Walmart has - hoping it will be a BF deal.
VeggieTales DVDs & CDs
The Gumball toy for infants (FP) Peek-a-Balls (need 2)
A ride on toy for a 2yo (whatever is safe & On Sale!)
Bath & Body Works for the grandmas, aunts & Dirty Santa
elena_398 10-13-2005, 12:05 PM I am just hoping the ads are great for any older boys. My son isn't into anything new so I need some ideas! I asked him to write me a list and he puts a few things. Tells me to surprise him after that. Yeah right
ghort 10-13-2005, 12:16 PM Blank DVD's really cheap like BB was last year.
Blank DVD's really cheap like BB was last year.
Expect nothing less than free. They've been out long enough that on BF, I'm sure there will be a 50-pack FAR at Circuit City and Best Buy, if not other places.
elena_398 10-13-2005, 12:31 PM I got my blank DVDs from CompUSA last BF. I still have 2 full packs. They were so cheap and it was free shipping w/ BF. I bought 4

Do you remember what you paid for them last year?
darkkan 10-13-2005, 3:23 PM I would love to get a plasma big screen TV, but it will all depend on my Christmas bonus (which I am not sure I will get), so I will prob. only be looking on BF.
For the one's from BestBuy, I paid $.03 per disk after the rebates. I picked up 2 of them. The key is to have them ring up each on their own receipt or they will not honor your rebates as a friend found out. But that was an awesome deal!
Also would like to get a portable DVD player for the camper in Summer.
That and my wife wants a Dishwasher for Christmas.
elena_398 10-14-2005, 9:09 AM When my husband gets back from work I will ask him. They were 50 packs for less that $8.95 I believe. That why we bought so many.
Tracy72 10-14-2005, 11:19 AM my girls are also wanted that Floam stuff they are showing on tv..and I will be adding more to hte list.....lol
Gporter34 10-14-2005, 3:10 PM Hope to find a decent sized t.v. at a good price, maybe a laptop for my son who will be leaving for college soon, and hopefully some goodies for me, too. lol
mtjoycol 10-15-2005, 6:32 AM My 8 year old Tom Boy Daughter wants everything Bratz Rock Angelz... And she will get every last one! HA! Just excited that she is FINALLY playing with dolls! She has three older brothers and I have been waiting for this moment since she was born! HA!!!
My son's want VIDEO GAMES. All the new 50.00 ones.
Myself, I wish Longaberger Baskets would have a big sale, but they don't.
My husband already gave himself his Xmas gift.. Seris ( Spelling ) radio.
I need really GREAT deals on Bratz and the video games. The rest I have already purchased.
elena_398 10-15-2005, 10:24 AM yeah, I forgot that my daughter wants anything Bratz and Kim Possible.
graciescaptor 10-15-2005, 11:12 AM I just want to find a good laptop for me. Can't talk the hubby into getting one for the kids no matter how cheap they are (well maybe if they were free). I guess they will get one next year. My teenage son wants video games (all the new ones) and sports jerseys. My preteen daughter wants everything under the sun. And my hubby wants nothing, literally. How do you wrap nothing and put it under the tree?
Gporter34 10-15-2005, 11:18 AM My hubby never tells me what he wants but I always get something I know he wants but won't buy for himself. Although, this year he has started hinting about a few things.
elena_398 10-15-2005, 11:20 AM My husband has been hinting too. hunting stuff mostly
StephanieD 10-15-2005, 3:23 PM I think I'm the only one in the world without an iPod and I want one so bad...I'm hoping someone will have the older ones on sale since they just came out with the iPod Nano....I won't get my hopes up, but that would be great.
maccawolf 10-16-2005, 10:46 PM blank dvd d/ls, but only FAR, I already have about 50 that I haven't used yet.
Speaking as a NOOB, lock the old posts, but keep them like you have . THey're neat to read.
znasouri 10-16-2005, 10:52 PM I am hoping to turn my room into a superb entertainment room, I'm saving up about 3,000 to 4,000 to get a 42" or 50" HDTV, xbox 360, if I don't already have one by that time, Home Theatre system basically to add on to my killer computer setup :P
cthulhu 10-18-2005, 11:02 PM This year I think I gonna look for lcd monitors. A 17 or 19 in for my wife and a dell 2005fpw for myself.
bayhaysay 10-18-2005, 11:14 PM My wish list consists of anything that is good and cheap!
elena_398 10-18-2005, 11:30 PM I also need to find the Bratz comforter set (pink leopard one), Sheets too. Its going too high on ebay, but stores around here doesn't carry that particular Bratz line
rockpzazz 10-19-2005, 10:36 AM I think I want to add music equipment to my list too, but I doubt anything I want will be available on BF.
I also want a new(er) computer, but will wait until tax time for that.
civicracinggirl7 10-20-2005, 1:31 PM Don't really have a wish list right now... I just heard news of a Treo 700 today on engadget.com and my cell phone plan is up in december so I may make the switch from my blackberry to the Treo.
I think the 700 doesn't come out until sometime next year (at least with Verizon). My bf upgraded his 600 to the 650 sometime this past year, and then heard word of the 700. He said by the time it comes out it'll be time to upgrade anyway.
Anyway, right now all I really want to see are some great deals on video games. The two kids I babysit for have a GameCube and both have GBA SPs. Buying toys for them is pretty hard to do. The 9-y/o girl likes Bratz, but doesn't really play with them so there's not much of a point in buying the dolls. The little boy is going to be 7 come Christmas, and will play with a toy for about a day to a week, then forget all about it.
mama2ella 10-20-2005, 1:47 PM maybe a dvd for the car...
don't really "need" anything so I guess I will just see what the ads have
Hoping for a nice deal on a front-loading washing machine.
iPod accessories would be nice, too.
Avaturtle 10-21-2005, 8:39 PM Well DH already purchased his present (a new Home Theatre system) so I guess a good laptop, a Palm Zire 31, a new computer. For DD, some clothes, a new Dora bedding set, some toys. Does anyone know which is better for a 3 1.2 yr old who is turning 4 in January-Leapster or Pixur or the other one I can't remember?:o

Portable DVD player for my 11 yo (saw the one in the Radio shack ad but 3.5 inch screen seems so tiny!
My wish list would be to be able to give my kids a great christmas as last year was a disaster and to see my family in ny and that no child should wake up without gifts under the tree or any parents to have to face that hurt Have a Blessed holiday everyone and hope black friday will bless the kids:holiday09 :holiday14 :holiday12 :holiday03 :holiday16 :holiday16 :holiday08 :holiday05 :holiday07 :holiday01 :holiday02 :holiday04 :holiday13 :holiday15 :holiday10 :holiday11
