cyndim98 Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 I have never shopped at Best Buy on black friday before, and I'm pretty sure there is no chance of me getting the item I want because I refuse to spend 2 days before txgiving in line, however, I'm wondering wht my chances are of scoring the Galaxy Tablet for $179.00 online?????????? Does anyone know if I can try to get it online? The ad didn't say anything about being in store only. What are your experiences of getting things online versus at the actual store? Every year, my sister and I used to watch the police and and the crazy ppl fighting in the best buy lines. I'm too old for that crap!!!!! I LOVE black friday and the excitement, but I;ll stick to spending txgiving with my family eating and listengin to my family argue!!! lol:) any input would be appreciated!
Brad Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 I'd say the chances are pretty good. I'd put it at maybe 80% based on what I've seen in past years for that type of deal. But it won't last long online.
bluebear Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 I have bought things from Best Buy online for the last couple years. Just keep refreshing the page and wait for the prices to change. I took my laptop to bed with me last year and put it on the nightstand and woke up every hour to check.
TazErase Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 I never had much luck buying the stuff online. Even with 4G service the speeds on my phone are too slow to get the good stuff while standing on line at Best Buy, lol. At the store I guarantee you won't have a chance without being in line for a long time. This year is shaping up to be one of the coldest Black Fridays I can remember in the past 18 years or so that I've been doing Black Friday.
shopping4my3son Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 I've never gone to Best Buy on BF before. I've always been able to get what I want online. If I remember right different products went up for sale online at different times. Just have to keep checking.
peppysfireball Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Ive always got mine online. Never went to store either. Started refreshing computer at 11
ancra_ac Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 I have had really good luck with BB online...however, they haven't been consistent on when they decide to bring them up. One year it was 11pm/Midnight, another 2 am, and last year was 6 am. So if you decided to do it, you have to be committed
riven3d Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 2 years ago i was after the $99 nook deal, sale started changing around 10 pm i stayed up it didnt change until around 7am that year
hack2222 Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Sears and Staples also have the tablet for the same price on black friday.
jaymacfla Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 I always find it amusing when people declare their unwillingness to go out on Black Friday, then throw their concerns to everyone on here when their chances are obviously and drastically reduced! Luckily, for those persons who shop online there is always the chance of grabbing some item that is not a high demand, low stock item. Real Black friday veterans have learned to shop throughout the year and augment their stash by online sales when possible. Nothing will ever replace the shared personal shoppping experiences brick and mortar stores offer to the Black Friday shopper.

I have a few things I'm interested in at Best Buy, but even though some I can get without the lines, what's the fun in that?? lol. I intend to get to Best Buy nice and early and be first again more out of tradition and the spirit of competition than any deals I may get.

That evil 50" LED from Sears beckons me, and now some of his "friends" are calling to me as well. Unless something breaks, like a final ad or even a "Secret sale" I may be forced to camp out at Sears this year.
