  1. My 5-year-old DD wants this and the big city slider pan. She told me yesterday that "On a busy school morning, it makes five perfect egg sandwiches in an instant!" She memorizes the scripts to all the commercials.
  2. Thanks I got a pair for me, DH and DD for $45 with the code and the free shipping!

    Now what? :(

    Advertisers doesn't normally buy enough to put the ad in every single paper the newspaper prints that day. The number of papers the newspapers print varies based on a number of factors, including day of the week, how that paper sold on that day last year, what the immediate sales trends are and even what kind of news/sports happened the day before. So, for example, Target might have bought insert placement in 110,000 papers, but the newspaper actually printed 134,821 papers on Thanksgiving day. The inserts are put in home delivery papers first. They usually run out before all the single-copy papers are printed. So there are nearly 25,000 papers out in the stores without the Target ad -- not because the newsapaper left it out, but because Target did not buy the entire run. If you're going out and buying the paper from a box or retail location, you are lessening your chances of getting all the ads. And it's that way every day, not just on Thanksgiving.
  4. Cameras don't do this. That kind of manipulation is done with photo editing software after you have taken the pic.
  5. I was really expecting to see a $99 Flip Ultra (2GB). I know that Wal-Mart has the 1GB version for $79, but I want more memory. The lowest I've seen is $129, which is just 20 percent off.
  6. Those are the doorbusters we already know about from the printed ad. We're still waiting to see if any new, online list of doorbusters materializes.
  7. BF is my birthday, too, this year! And I'm planning to milk it for all it's worth!
  8. I'm not sure where you're from, but there's nothing illegal about selling a Black Friday line ticket in many places. I'm not even sure what you'd be charged with, other than ticket scalping, and that would be highly dependent on how the statute is written in your particular area. A prosecutor would have to prove that that ticket had any kind of a value to begin with, and that would be a tough sell. If you were charged by police, you probably still would not be prosecuted. And ticket scalping is not even illegal in many places anymore. Best Buy can set a rule and legally kick you out of their line or their store if they want, but there's nothing illegal about selling the ticket. It's just capitalism. Now if they start trying to take names or check IDs and you try to defeat that system, then you are committing fraud, which would be illegal. And, no, I've never sold a ticket. In fact, I've never had a ticket before to sell. The last time I went to BB on BF, all they handed out were store maps.
