I'm sick over this... I had everything planned out and got there at 6 pm. I was 7th in line. I wanted to get nearly all the doorbuster ticketed items. Some items I would keep, some items I would sell and make a profit, and some I might just sell the ticket to somebody farther in line (I had good offers for tickets of several items). Then... the Best Buy staff starts handing tickets... One per customer, period. That's it. Each person was allowed to get only ONE good deal. That means that the first person in line can get one good deal, and the 500th person in line can get one good deal (keep in mind at only 1 ticket/person, the tickets last a long time). I talked to one guy who arrived at 4 am who still got a ticket for the 32'' Westy. The problem here is this directly contradicts the information on the Best Buy flyer. The flyer says: "tickets are limited to one ticket per customer per each item." Obviously, since I was seventh in line, this means I should be offered the chance to buy each item. I spent a night in the cold for one good deal - thanks Best Buy. To the person who recommended this system: I don't think it's a bad system - in fact, apparently the store I went to used it. The problem is when Best Buy issues false advertising that affects people's decisions on when to line up.
