bigjimslade Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Newbee here What is the best time to stake out a spot at BB, I was thinking 12am but others are saying earlier:confused: The main item for me is the HP Notebook I would say get there between 6pm and 8pm. Welcome to the community!
bigjimslade Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Just an FYI that BB has sent out an email about there sale. http://emailinfo.bestbuy.com/P/v3/Microsite.asp?E=6288;242699;846596024;1;02&R=T1_ONL&A=1007
LadyIzShy Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Well, these deals just caused the line to start forming about 4 hours earlier. Who's willing to give up Thanksgiving dinner??NO way am i giving up dinner that I have to cook.. now i could pass on clean up
pogiporkchop Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Well, these deals just caused the line to start forming about 4 hours earlier. Who's willing to give up Thanksgiving dinner??Me! And my husband will likely encourage it after seeing the extra deals, he's wanting a laptop. Otherwise he thinks I don't need to leave any earlier than 4am

Who's willing to give up Thanksgiving dinner??I will be having turkey in line. I am not going to thanksgiving this year. I had 3 turkey legs at the State Fair of Texas this year so I can do with out the turkey.

I had 3 turkey legs at the State Fair of Texas this year so I can do with out the turkey.HA HA,you sound like me now.

He just laughed because he knows how serious I am. I have a new baby, but BB is calling my name now. sheesh, I have my lounger recliner ready to go.
Jasonlh1 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Could we buy both laptops? I am going alone, but I want both HP and Toshiba.
bigjimslade Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Could we buy both laptops? I am going alone, but I want both HP and Toshiba.Yes you can buy one laptop each.

T0mmy Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 We usually go around midnight and I've always gotten all items I want. Last year it got close, but I still got my tickets. I think the cold helps us northerners. less people are willing to brave the elements for so long here
IceQueen Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 wow....awesome deals! But now that those have been added, I'm sure BB will be so crowded I won't be able to get anything, and I just don't see myself camping out turkey day and night and then the am before it opens for a laptop I may just ebay one or just wait til I go on vacation in Florida (less sales tax...BY A LOT) and just get it as a christmas gift. I bet they'll go crazy with the whole pre-christmas sales then, too (23, 24th).
Guest vjwilson27 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I am sooo confused now... I was going to go to CC for the $299 (and sign up for vonage which would make it $99) but now I want the toshiba. My only hope now is that WM will come out with a $199, and I can do all my shopping there. (Plus DH works at a distribution center, so I'd get 10% off that to boot) This sucks... LOL
Guest Boraxo Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 All I can say is ... WOW! I think I am finally going to pull the trigger on the Panasonic 42" plasma for $999. Is anyone going to try to pricematch this puppy at circuit city or sears? I would prefer not to wait in line at BB, but not sure if I want to risk it. Maybe the thing to do is to buy tonight at Sears and then bring in the advert on Friday for the pricematch. Great deal for the laptop, but I wouldn't buy anything now without Vista pre-installed.
kjunea Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Oh great.... Now what do I do? I sure wish there was a BB right beside a WM somewhere. SIL and I would go line up, get tickets at BB, then go to WM to get warm and their doorbusters, than back to BB to pick up ticket items.
nevaeh41 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Sheesh! I'm gonna have to get to BB at 7am on Thanksgiving day now!!! My gosh, are people actually going to line up at the crack of dawn and miss out on Thanksgiving? This new deal is terriffic! But at the same time it's doomsday! I just hope WM comes out with a $199 laptop just so SOME people will stay away from BB. Wishful thinking, I know!!
jamieva Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 For the person asking about the 19" monitor, I went on BF for a monitor last year and they were not handing out tickets for it. Just walk to the area of the store where they normally are and get one asap. I had no reason to go to BB but now the 42" Panasonic has my interest. If you buy the TV that morning do you have to take delivery of it right away? I can't fit that thing in my Accord

Most BB offer delivery or you can rent a truck from Uhaul or Home Depot to bring you TV home. Good Luck!

dsaman Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Ok, I've been lurking here for the last two seasons...and OMGosh! Insanity! I'm soooo excited about BF this year! :)

nevaeh41 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 As of right now, both laptops come with a free upgrade to Vista when it is released.Is that right? I saw where it said it comes with AN upgrade, but I didn't see free. That's very cool!!

wolfdevil Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I really doubt Sears will price match this and give 10% of the difference. If you get it, consider yourself lucky. I made a call to Sears and they said they would price match if the price is good all day Friday at the competitor on a previous purchase. You may have the upper hand since you have not bought it yet. I have been round and round with them about their price matching policy and I am going to give it another try on this one but doubt I will be successful. The thing I am so upset with right now is when I asked in detail about the price match policy in detail he said if I saw a price within the next 30 days to bring the advertisement in or local web site shopping cart and it would be matched and every time I bring something back to them its like well ...no it can't be with a coupon in the shopping cart....and I sure I will hear the same about this one..well no it can't be a seven hour sale....I would try CC first.
chase050280 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Where do all you people live that you are saying get to Best Buy by like 4pm or 8pm on Thursday? I live in a MD suburb of DC and I just can't see anyone around here standing in line that long for anything. Heck, even at the local Walmart on Thursday afternoon a week ago, there was only a very few people in line for the PS3, when on the news I saw people in other cities waiting in line for days. Most people around here have a lot of money and if they don't, like to pretend they have a lot of money. I can't imagine people will be lining up that early here. But I think i'll go ask the Best Buy store that's down the street. It probabaly helps that there are at least 8 Best Buy stores within 20-30 miles of where I live. Best Buy is really oversaturated here in MD.
blessedwife Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 My dh went to Wal-Mart last year at 4 AM, and there were already 100+ people in line....needless to say, he got nothing! My MIL did the same for BB, and there were even more people in line there at 4 AM, so here in Florida, I'm sure people will start lining up on Thursday, but I'm not sure whether it would be early AM or early PM.

To me, it is worth the extra $100 not to stand in the cold for hours. Anyone else hear about the $200 installation rebate?
RossMAN Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Where do all you people live that you are saying get to Best Buy by like 4pm or 8pm on Thursday? I live in a MD suburb of DC and I just can't see anyone around here standing in line that long for anything.Obviously it varies by city, what's on sale and factors like weather. The majority of veteran Black Friday shoppers have seen lines of 40+ at 10PM. Since you only get ONE CHANCE per year, you don't want to blow it by just a few hours. If you can get in line around 1-2AM and still get what you want then consider yourself very lucky. Personally I wouldn't go any later than 9PM just to be safe. Do not underestimate the power of the internet + media exposure + $249 laptops = hundreds of BFshoppers per store. Please continue "what time should I get in line at BB" discussion in this thread.
BabyTC Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 At this rate with the price war going on, if your going to BB be there by midnight at the latest! :D :D :cheesy: :cheesy: :yup: :yup: :yup:
tazolover Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 BB is going to be CRAZY with these additional sales! P.S. I have a BB Personal Shopper appt for BF and was told they will Price Match all ad items if the sale is an all day sale. They will not Price Match another stores 7 hour sale (as an example) so basically, doorbusters and early birds. Just FYI for those interested.
