MarkRaby Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Bro and I live about 5 - 7 minutes away from CompUSA, so we will definitely be hitting it right at, or a little before, midnight. Then we're planning on going through the 24-hour drive-thru at the McDonald's in the same shopping center, and then heading to our first "real" stop on BF, which will get us there hours before they actually open, which will be earlier than we've ever been. Anyone else planning on doing the same? -Mark-
Mike Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I might do an all-nighter with 0 sleep. What will be fun is when I got to work for 12 hours after shopping.
mjmcca Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I still don't know If i have to work on thanksgiving night. If i am lucky enough to get the day off I still don't know what my plans are. I guess i should come up with a contingency plan in case i luck out huh?
MarkRaby Posted November 10, 2005 Author Posted November 10, 2005 I might do an all-nighter with 0 sleep. What will be fun is when I got to work for 12 hours after shopping. And again, I stress the beauty of working from home (see sig) -Mark-
shopping mom Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I don't know if I will hit Comp Usa or not. I think I will be busy price matching at Wal-mart.
sperdue Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I'm going to try and get to compusa at a quarter to 4-ish and be done there asap to head to walmart right down the street. Even if I don't buy anything at walmart(which I always do), it's tradition to go there first.
Mike Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I might get that 27" Viewsonic at CompUSA. That is very tempting. I wish it was $550 as originally rumored though.
sperdue Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I have that on my list as well. It's a great deal, but a little out of my budget. I want a laptop w/dvd-rw.
erh12275 Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Not me. Wouldn't mind doing it ...but I have to get the girls to sleep for hubbys cousin before we leave and that will never happen before midnight...and it's an hour drive.
albrandwood Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Before you go, make sure what you want from CompUSA is not available online (starting midnight) ... most of their stuff will be ... so why drive an hour, line up for 3 hours, when you can do it all online in 5 minutes ... Also, make sure that the deal you want is actually in the door-buster category ... (and if last year is anything to go by, go back to the store 30 minutes before the earlybird special expires to ensure that they are actually out of stock, and not holding stock back for the afternoon ........ ooops, sorry ... thats a trick my BestBuy does, not CompUSA) @
VonnegutFan Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 The door-busters from CompUSA will not be available online.
Aliensniper Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 The door-busters from CompUSA will not be available online.Which items are considered door busters?
albrandwood Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Which items are considered door busters?Either: The ones with extremely limited availabilitya) The ones that cause people to stampede into the store trampling over the staff (and old ladies) in a rush to be one of 10 people in your city to get the object of your desire at a price that's more expensive that shopping on-line would have been by the time you include sales-tax. c) The ones that make you want to line up outside the store for 4 hours, only to find that the item you wanted is OOS, and now you're SOL, so you go home, wait till the Presidents day sales, and find the same stuff is on sale again, but at a lower price ... :-D examples include :$999 42" Plasma EDTV$399 Laptops that actually cos $549 unless you want AOL etc
Jenniferharrison82 Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Nope, no CompUSA around here.same here
