[>>> Official Black Friday LAPTOP Discussion Thread <<<]

Was An Acer Laptop 512k memory 80 Gig Hard Drive Yesterday At The Georgetown Texas Wal Mart For $398.00 Not on Sale Regular Price. Found A Link --Tried To Post. Would Not Take As I have not been here long enough for this site to allow me to post a link it said to avoid spam. The Link said that each WalMart Got 20 Acer Laptops at $398 each. This Was Orginally Posted 9 July 07. Some WalMarts Still Have Them. Go To Google and Plug In Acer 398 Walmart

My nephew's first computer was an Acer purchased from Best Buy, it was a desktop model-- They had it more than he did. Lots of problems with early ones. Hopefully they have improved. mama43

[How Long Have You Been a BF Veteran?]

Been doing BF for years (favorite day to shop). This is my 2nd year here. I love it- look at site year round.

[All is NOT fair in Black Friday at Best Buy!]

I went to the Fairview Heights, IL BB at 7:20pm on TGiving night. I was number 50 probably.

They only had 20 of the laptops, and the cheap desktops. So they ran out of them of course. My daughter and grandson joined me around 9 or so, I told everyone around me that they were coming, so no one said too much about it.

Our BB had a porta-potty on site, and came around about 4:30 am with coffee, hot chocolate, and Krispy Kreme donuts. The police were there driving by every hour or so all night and then camped out closer to 4 am. They told us to let them know if anyone had crashed the line, that they would be removed and they did a couple of people. The weather wasn't exactly warm (40's) and some young people were there in shorts, long sleeve shirts, or sweatshirts to sit outside all night. No coats, no chairs, no blankets, nothing. They obviously had never done that before.

 

I did buy the 100 dvd -r for $4.99, thought that was a good deal. It was a zoo! But that is part of the fun. At 20 after 6, I went home, took a shower, a nap and later went back to CC and BB.

Thank you for letting me know about the $999.99 Panasonic TV from CC, I bought it online the night before, and it will be delivered free............ can't wait... thanks again mama

Try Cabela's or Bass Pro Shop, especially sale catalogs. I bought grandson a whole set of Thinsulate hunting clothes for half of what it was normally. Cheap ones don't hold up very well. If its cold, trust me Gore-Tex and Thinsulate are wonderfulllllll..... Cabela's phone number is 800-237-4444. I have bought stuff from them for years and have always had good luck. Bass Pro Shop too, sometimes has really good sales.
