*HOT!* Extra 7 Hour Specials NOT in newspaper ad including $249 laptop
bigjimslade replied to Brad's topic in 2006
Welcome to the community! In years past the monitors are not ticketed items. No one will know for sure until 4am on Friday when they start to hand the tickets out. If you really want that item I would get there early. I wish you all the best! -
Welcome to the community! I am sorry your BB is doing this. The people in Ohio had to go thru this last year. Good luck to you and stick around after BF as this site is open year around!

"Prices effective Thursday, Nov. 23rd - Saturday, Nov. 25th"...what?!?
bigjimslade replied to assassin56's topic in 2006
Welcome to the community! I would say the reason it is listed like that because the current ad that is out ends on Wednesday Nov 22 and the next ad after the BF ad will start on Sunday Nov 26. -
Who Will Be Doing Reconnaissance and Intel at Best Buy on Nov 22?
bigjimslade replied to bigjimslade's topic in 2006
Some do and some dont. The store I have been going to have been setting up for BF around 8pm or 9pm on Wednesday. They will bring out the big stuff, stack them and put rope around them. One BB I was in in Ft Worth already put some of the stuff by the Geek Squad counter and there already have been some reports like that so far by other members. It is all about home work and seeing your chances. Good Luck! -

*HOT!* Extra 7 Hour Specials NOT in newspaper ad including $249 laptop
bigjimslade replied to Brad's topic in 2006
Fine Print: The key word in there is per each item. I think you will be ok with one of each item. I would print it off the BB site and take it with you on BF if you get into any problems. -

*HOT!* Extra 7 Hour Specials NOT in newspaper ad including $249 laptop
bigjimslade replied to Brad's topic in 2006
There is a limit. In the fine print on the post above your original one it says I hope this helps. -
Let me pose this question to all of you and get your thoughts. Do you think Black Friday will be different next year and then in years past? The reason I ask this is that Black Friday has changed so much this year then in years past that I can remember. Some of the stuff that has changed that I have noticed is: * Best Buy creating a price matching clause for Black Friday and posting it on there ad. * Wal Mart and Best Buy adding items to there Black Friday line up and posting them on there site and not in printed form. * Some Best Buys pulling there Personal Shopper Program on Black Friday unlike last year where all PSA stores where taking appts. * Stores posting there "Official" ad a week early on there own websites and making them public. * More Black Friday sites getting C&D's from the store. * More media hype then last year Above are some examples of what I have seen. I have a feeling next year might be very different and we will have to change our tactics for BF. I would like to know if anyone else feels this way or not.

Welcome to the community! The ticketed items are behind the counters. In most BB the desktops are behind the Geek counter. They will tell you where to go when you get your ticket.

Welcome to the community! When you get your ticket they will tell you were to go. Once the door opens then you just shop around if you want to and or go to the line they tell you to go on. I hope this helps!

A Good Way To Check Out at Best Buy on Black Friday
bigjimslade replied to shaneberry21's topic in 2006
Welcome to the community and thanks for the tip. The tip will work if the store does not have the Personal Shopper Program (PSA) in the store. The PSA program uses the car audio place to check out PSA VIPs. Welcome and please stick around after BF as gottadeal.com is open year around. -
Welcome to the community to all of you who have posted on this thread. Below are some threads that talk about price matching and BB. BB this year wont price match this year.

North American Aerospace Defense Command’s Santa Web site going live
bigjimslade replied to bigjimslade's topic in 2006
I feel the same way as you. It is one of the best santa sites out there. They do it 100% first class. I have people in my family who are in there 20s who will check the site every hour to get a update. -
I got the Gateway laptop that was not a doorbuster last year and they sold out within minutes of the store opening. I would say from past BF's I would say get there between 7pm and 9pm local time. Welcome to the community and stick around after BF.
