    So far... the deals suck...

    in 2007

    Posted

    I've done a few interviews with newspapers today and have expressed how many of you are disappointed with the ads this year, so maybe the stores will find out as these stories are published and add some last-minute deals.

    Brad, I think the biggest ratings-grabber for the media (because heavens knows they don't care about anything else) would be a cage match between the Gottadeal mods and the retailer spokestwerps.

     

    I leave out the lawyers who send out the C&D letters because they are loathsome pondscum who could be donky-punched by tots. (Note to lawyers reading this: not kidding! :cheesy: )

     

    Anyway, what is crucial is places like this are bonding consumers together and no longer will etailers rule the day. Black Friday indeed! We will find the best bargains out there, and we may not have to stand inline at 3Am to snag them!!!

     

    :yup:

    Looking for Game Camera's

    in 2007

    Posted

    I'll second the hunt for a good one. You see, here in western PA we had a sighting of a creature that was NOT a bear, but was big and hairy and in the woods. I am not making this up, here's a link.

     

    I think 2 or maybe 3 megapixels would be a minimum, plus night vision capability. Are there any Dunhams or Dicks or Gander Mountain BF ads anywhere? I doubt that Linens & Bed Things Beyond carry any good game cameras. Why anyone shops there escapes me. But I digress. If someone had a great deal on a game camera we could literally cover the woods with them, and solve this mystery once and for all.

    Dear Santa,

     

    I am writing to you on a dark and stormy night. I am serious. It is dark and stormy. Just check out the radar for Western PA. I just wanted to interject that and avoid anyone thinking that I was using a cheap literary ploy.

     

    Santa, it could be a long, cold Winter. Or a long warm Winter. Is Al Gore right? I'm not sure. On one hand, when I look at my gas bill I hope that he is right, and instead of snow we will have to shovel steaming magma from our driveways. On the other hand, I think back to my school days, and an afternoon on the skislopes with an old girlfriend. She left me for my best friend and I ran off the slopes and into a Subaru, but I digress. Besides, it was either the Subaru or the barn and the barn was less likely to move. On the other hand (this is working under the presumption that a third prosthetic hand is available) maybe the weather won't change at all. Maybe it will just be endless days of temperate grayish tedium, interspersed with scattered ennui.

     

    Santa, at this point you may be wondering what this has to do with a Logitech io2 Digital Pen Digital Writing System. I myself wondered as I began to type this missive, you see Santa, I cannot afford a keyboard. So I am crafting this plea, this plaintive wail, this cry for help on an IBM Selectric. After I finish each page, I then fax it to my email address, and using free OCR software, because I am so desperately fund-challenged, import into this text block. At this point I have to throw in kudos for Brad for providing this text block, even if he has not taken me up on my most-generous offer to be a moderator here. :(

     

    Santa, there are two things that would really brighten my Holiday season. One would be a Logitech io2 Digital Pen Digital Writing System, and the other would be more space on the GottaDeal server for my private message inbox. Sure I don't have many PM's at the moment, but I could foresee a veritable tsunami of amorous epistles from the smokin hot GottaDeal bargain babes once they find out that I would be piloting my own Logitech io2 Digital Pen Digital Writing System.

     

    Santa, I know it may seem like an impossible dream, but I will dream the impossible dream, I will reach the unreachable star, I will write the unwritable word, I don't think that I can take it, Cause it took so long to bake it, And I'll never have that recipe again, Oh, no! er, sorry, I think the OCR imported my Macarthur Park .mp8 Drat. * pulls another page out of the Selectric *

     

    Santa, I know you're a busy guy, and if you can't find the time to put a Logitech io2 Digital Pen Digital Writing System in my stocking, I will understand. There are more important things in life, and all we can wish for is good health, good friends, and stores that do not send cease and desist letters to the bargain-minded. Have a Happy Holiday, St. Nick, and to all a good night.

    22" or larger LCD monitors?

    in 2007

    Posted

    Thanks for making that! really helped

     

    Im going to TRY and get the Samsung 22inch from BB, I plan to get in like at 5-6PM T-day.

     

    Im also wondering, anyone know if they would allow you to purchase 2 items? Im also considering getting 2 of the 19inch Envision's for roughly the same price.

    Samsung monitors are usually pretty good, although they do make some low end ones - I would opt for the Acer, save a few $ and avoid the BB madness.

    So, are you finding as good or better deals NOW, and reducing the need to go out BF?

    I am liking some of the online deals, not really seeing a bunch of loss leaders by the brick & morter guys to tempt us into the stores on a frosty morning - Sears, CC & Staples would pretty much do it for me (mostly window shopping, maybe a little this and a little that). The biggest loosers (with at least two o's) IMO will be the people standing in line at Best Buy - ho-hum deals and it will still be a zoo.

    Black Friday questions

    in 2007

    Posted

    I'm a newcomer here... sorry if the questions have already been answered!

     

    1) While you're in line by yourself... what happens if you have to use the restroom? Are people usually nice about it and hold your spot or what?

    Depends

    Ever been a victim of a shopping robbery on BF??

    Concertina wire along the top of the shopping buggy discourages those with ulterior motives.

     

    If they keep the buggies outside and you have a few hours to kill waiting for the doors to open, a couple of Deep-Cycle batteries in the bottom rack, and some electric cattle fence wire strung around the outside edge of the cart does wonders for getting unruly shoppers (who are trying to beat you to YOUR BARGAINS) out of the way... "excuse me, EXCUSE ME, BZZZZZZZZZZZZZT Comin Thru!!!!" :gdangel:

    Thank you Brad & GottaDeal.com!

    That's one of the benefits of being a mod -- always being able to have the last word! http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Tease/N1nananananaHL2.gif

    Then I shall become a moderator.

     

    I have been here two years, two long grueling years. I also have 30+ posts. I think I also have groupies, although they are preoccupied at the moment with shoe sales. I stand ready to accept the mantle of responsibility that is commensurate with the position.
