Heh, I was in Staples 5 minutes after opening and they were sold out. I ran over to RadioShack and there were about 20 left at 12 minutes after opening. Perhaps Cyber Monday specials will include a good deal?

As an ex-Buffalo resident, I'm curious as to which station had this, too!

Leave for a midnight-opening around 10:45 pm and return home around 3 pm.

If things held true to form, we wouldn't have any ads yet

I'm sure this is a YMMV type of thing. With almost any "policy" in retail, you just need to find the right employee at the right time to get around a policy, and sometimes you find the wrong employee who won't let you use a standard policy. Of course, on BF everything is crazy, and that's just extra hassle. Plus, who wants to carry merchandise into a store on BF?

How would you find out if your Sears had this? Ask a manager if they have refurb parts and tools for sale in their repair department?

I will always pick up items for relatives, assuming: It's a store that I'm already planning on hitting.It's not a limited item doorbuster.I can find their item in a reasonable amount of time once I'm in the store.

Hmm, I requested Black Friday off in January One year, I had to work until 7 am. Not sure how much you can get done before 10:00, though. Two to four stores, perhaps?

Yeah, I found my 2006 ad scans last week, stuffed away in a forgotten folder.

Interesting question. It all depends on how many years you have to do BF until you become a "veteran", right?

I don't know how relevant this poll will be after mid- to late-October, let alone a week and a half after BF

Brad always posts the text files for previous years' BF ads, so here they are. Per Brad, these are helpful when you see an early rumored list for this year to determine if it is actually from a previous year. 2003 Black Friday Ad History2004 Black Friday Ad History2005 Black Friday Ad History2006 Black Friday Ad History

Yes, KMart is the only T-day ad I pay close attention to. I'll only stop quickly between my house and my Thanksgiving Day destination. I'm certainly not going to spend hours shopping on T-day and wear myself out a day early!
