Selling tickets for Black Friday items while in line
bigjimslade replied to josetann's topic in 2008
It looks like you are in the clear as far as the state law is reading but I would also check your local laws as well. For example the State of Texas as a law like yours on the state level but in Irving, Texas where the Dallas Cowboys play Jerry Jones got the city to pass a stricter law then the state law about 20 years ago. Also you have to remember that the tickets are property of Best Buy and that BB is private property. So when you sell them if you do becareful and keep a low profile. -

Just to give you an example to put this in real world. If you were to sell food and drinks during Black Friday in the City of Dallas, Texas here is what you would have to do. http://www.dallascityhall.com/ehs/food_handlers.html http://www.dallascityhall.com/ehs/mobile_food_facilities.html http://www.dallascityhall.com/ehs/temporary_food_facilities.html

It is a great idea but please remember that some of the items at BB like laptops and desktops that will be on sale are not part of regular inventory. BB will order special specs on BF computers and use a different SKU number so early ordering and price matching cant be done. Keep the great ideas coming!

Please read this thread about the 2008 WM ad. http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=120310

I cant speak for Brad but I think the reason there is not a section for Fry's because since it is a regional store with only 34 stores it is not considered a major store but only a regional store.

Circuit City may "downsize". What does this mean to us?
bigjimslade replied to DumbPoet's topic in 2008
It is something that everyone needs to watch. If they are going to file for chapter 11 protection then they could have less credit to buy stock and that could mean that CC will have less stock to sell. There are already reports that mos stores will have less stock this year to cut down on loss. Below is a bigger article on the CC situation. http://www.wfaa.com/sharedcontent/dws/wfaa/latestnews/stories/wfaa081020_lj_circuitcity.12f5ab9df.html -
Congrats to Brad and his staff as the YT video became in the top 10 for this week!

The special is called "The Age of Wal Mart" and it is aired on CNBC alot. Below is a video of the special. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8608104279377619602 CNBC Site http://www.cnbc.com/id/25007002/ It is a great watch if you want to see what goes on at WM.

The reason the press release says BENTONVILLE, Ark because that is where Wal-Mart has there headquarters. Bentonville has grown because of WM. Other compines like Kraft, Kodak, and Fruit of the Loom to name a few have regional offices there to only handle WM/Sams business. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentonville,_Arkansas
