  1. 2 years ago, Wal Mart had a 50 inch projection screen for $500. I was 4th in line. There were only 4. When the doors opened this BIG dude jumped the line from behind me and power drived me into the glass doorway between the two opening doors. Just about knocked me out! I had a head injury and floor burns on my knees and elbows!

    The store manager felt sorry for me and sold me a Philps 50 inch High Def that was on sale for $1200, for the $500 bucks! I also bought the computer tower for $198 and he threw in a flat screen monitor for free!

    As we were leaving, the guy who pumbled me, couldn't fit the HUGE projection screen box in his SUV. Ahe....my Tv was light as a feather and flat. No problem fitting it in my van!

    I too went for this deal. Not really a super deal here but a funny story. I am a "big dude" like the one you described. My sister and I waited since 10 oclock the night before and was told that they only had 2 tvs. We both wanted one but we were first in line so I wasn't all that worried. My sister had a baby the month before so I was looking for her as well. We were informed that the tv's were located in the opposite corner of the store. Well... 5 or 6 am came and it was time to open up the doors. Here I am a 6'2 270 lbs man wearing 15 lbs worth of padding to stay warm getting ready to go. Right behind us these 2 thin and athletic, I'd say 18 year old kids show up. I didn't see them all night but I was in the zone. The doors open and I sprint in my big winter boots throughout the store with my sister right behind. To me everything was silent as I could feel these kids right on my heels until I heard my sister fall and yell "I'M OK...JUST KEEP GOING! GET ME A TV". So... I keep going. I ran right up to customer service just inching out these two kids. There was a one per customer limit but I explained to the cashier and grabbed my sister through the crowd at the register. We got our tvs. I to this day have no idea how I beat those kids in a 100 yard dash. I was moving faster than I ever have moved before and will probably ever move again. Everytime I turn on the tv I remember that morning. However, after that experience I took last year off. I might come out of retirement this year though.

  2. Hi, I've never been to Sears before on Black Friday. Does anyone know what time people usually start lining up? I really am only looking for the 50% off Christmas village sale and maybe the bracelet on the front page. Thank you for any help that you could provide. I'm used to lining up all night but I don't know if that is necessary for Sears.
