How to avoid spending all night in line


Recommended Posts

Posted

I really didn't like the idea of spending a night in line waiting for doors to open to stores. So, I just found something out that I thought I'd share. It may not work at all stores, but many.

 

Go to your store of choice BEFORE BF and buy what you want that is on the BF sale list. Then, go back to the same store during the BF special hours and get a price adjustment. That way you get the item without being in line, and get it in advance at the sale price.

 

I'm doing my shopping at Best Buy and confirmed with different store managers. Same thing at Circuit City.

 

Happy Shopping

Caveat emptor!

...and as has been mentioned in other threads, alot of the doorbuster items have a unique product code that is not on shelves any other day. What you get told ahead of time and what actually happens may differ in reality.
