[OfficeMax.com Black Friday Sale [NOW ONLINE!]]

This sale went online at midnight CST and most items are already sold out. I picked up the Kodak frames for $49.99, MicroSD card for 19.99 and Sandisk 2gb SD cards for $12.99. That was around 12:15 and now they are all showing as discontinued.

[Not impressed with the ad]

Nevermind..found the scan.

[Not impressed with the ad]

Thanks Brad! Is there a scan of the ad somewhere? And some of the links to pictures of the products are linking to the wrong image. FYI.

 

I think Wal-Mart is still keeping some of their big deals secret, the ad does say to check the site on T-day for more specials.

[Last Years $68.00 TV]

I have a 19" Orion tv in my room at school that was BF tv about 8 years ago and it is still kicking. :)

[Stores offering WiFi?]

There is a Panera right next to our Best Buy. It was a Godsend last year. Sat online all night. Sure made the time go by faster!!

[Any better system of waiting in Line @ BB?]

Welcome to the community! I would have someone from BB in a BB shirt do line patrol. That is the best way to do it but I can see BB saying that they wont do it because there is a chance there person could get hurt. I have a feeling next year that the line will form on Wednesday.

and I wont be in it.

[Did anyone buy the Sandisk 1GB CF Cards Online T-Day?]

I stayed up late on T-day to order my CC items online instead of in store. When the new prices came up and the shopping carts online, I was able to add the Sandisk 1 GB Compact Flash Cards. The Sale Bill said that you paid $39.99 and got a $25 rebate which made them $14.99.

 

When I added them to my cart, it said they were $49.99, and had two rebates. the $25 one, and a $30 manufacturer rebate. Which made the item completely free. I didnt complain, and ordered the items.

 

In my confirmation email, it has the links to the two rebates, but now the only one available is the $25 one. Thus making my items $25 after rebates since i paid 49.99 originally instead of $39.99. If I go into a store will they refund me the $10 for this? It was not my fault the site showed this and in my opinion they should honor it in some way, at least give them to me at final price of $14.99, if not free like it said they would be.

 

Any suggestions?

[Any better system of waiting in Line @ BB?]

have best buy workers come out every hour and hand out tickets to people so they can get tickets...haha. and always pick back up in the line where they left off. So if people join later and dont have a ticket...to get a ticketed item...NOPE :)

 

OK I know that is confusing and would never happen, but all i got at this hour.

[Tickets? Guess Not!]

Do BB workers actually know what is going on on Black Friday? Several of the doorbuster tv's (32" Westy, 42" Panny) were ticketed items and handed out at 4 am. However, while I was in line for my tv, there were several (I counted 4 near me) Who had these white slips of paper. I asked them what they were for and they said they came in and went to one of the workers and asked for one of the ticketed items and since the tickets were passed out, the worker put an order in for the tv for them and they just had to wait in the line that those who recieved tickets waited in to get the item.

 

Whats the point of tickets? If they do a ticket for each item they have, and then add on all these sales, I'd think they would run short.

 

Are they just committed to making everyone happy or what?

[BBuy Monitors]

I got the 19" samsung. Im on it right now and i must say its simply amazing! I cant believe how few some stores got, I was back in my local BB at 8 oclock tonight (Evansville, Indiana) and they still had some! All out of Westys though.

[How popular will the 22 inch Westinghouse LCD Monitor be?]

Our store was stocked to the max on both the 19" and the 22" monitors. Probably 75 each at least. I saw a 22" still sitting on the floor at 9 oclock.

[The "I'm Waiting In Line!" Thread]

In line now at BB in Evansville Indiana. Got here at 8 PM and probably 80th in line. We will see what deals we get. The line is probably about 350 now.

[RCA product dependability!?]

My parents have had a 27" RCA SD television sitting in their living room for probably 12 years. It gets a lot of use and is still going strong, I guess the newer models aren't as reliable.

[Online deals on black friday]

If it is a doorbuster item then no, but many of the items in the circular will be available on CC's website for the advertised price and many already are.

[Linens-N-Things BF ad online]

Gurnee, was your ad from a newspaper circular? or did it come in the mail?

[Question for experienced BF BB shoppers]

Every year the line gets longer and longer earlier and earlier. 4 Years ago we arrived at 3 AM and were 5th in line. Last year we go there at midnight and were probably 50th. We got everything we needed last year but we werent getting any laptops. We did get a desktop however. I would recommend you getting in line by 9 oclock if you're going for a laptop.
