KoopawnKode Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Puente Hills, CABest Buy3 tents7 pm MondayDammmmmmmmmmmmmm....really? I'm not near Puente Hills, but I wouldn't expect to see anyone til at least Thursday noonish for the items in the ad. Even the $197 laptop! It wouldn't surprise me though if they just pitched the tent and came back every once in a while just to hold their place in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the homeless peeps in line have $$$? Seriously though when the Bevmo in my area opened up they gave away $25 gift cards to the 1st 50 people in line. I kid you not homeless people were in line a week early! Some had their half empty bottles of liquor in hand too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridasun5 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ok, thats just crazy!! Even if you are hard up and really need something for cheap, 4 days in advance to wait is just still ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersSuperFan Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I just wonder how people stay in line for 3 or 4 days prior to the sale and manage to still keep a job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though when the Bevmo in my area opened up they gave away $25 gift cards to the 1st 50 people in line. I kid you not homeless people were in line a week early! Some had their half empty bottles of liquor in hand too! I would need a couple of bottles of liquor to line up this early. Also, how can u tell the homeless from the campers by BF if they line up this early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeepNeep Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I think BB needs to revise their BF tips! Tip 2 - Arrive early if you want Black Friday Doorbuster specials. Some people eat Thanksgiving dinner and start lining up as early as Thursday afternoon! http://bestbuyvipcontest.com/tips.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpzazz Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Comedian Dwight York once said "I was homless for a while. I didnt want anyone to know so I lined up in front of a ticketmaster."

rockpzazz Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I live 30 minutes from SEVERAL other stores, so I'm still deciding. It comes down to how much my paycheck is tomorrow, which I doubt is much. I'm in it this year more for the thrill than buying anything. So we'll see.
