turnpiketexas Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Hi, I'm from Lewis center Ohio and i want the e-machines $190 pc at BB really bad I just want to know how to prepare myself to camp due to cold weather and when to show up. Thanks in advance
turnpiketexas Posted November 23, 2006 Author Posted November 23, 2006 I would show up early, and wear layers.Is 9 P.M. to 10 P.M. good?
Mike Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Depends on how many people intend to go there...which obviously you don't know. If it's close to your house. Swing by early and check out the line, if there is one. Then you'll get a better idea of when you should jump in. If there isn't anyone there, you could be the first one! or come back later and still get everything you want. If there is ALOT of people in line already...you might want to check out another BB.
DLM Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I might be there in Ohio too - trying to decide still. Not sure which BB to get to though. I am thinking that the polaris store will be way crowded.

deelite Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Thats the closes one I'm too so what time should I be there 6-7 or 8-9Your time seems to be sllooooowwwwly inching up!
DLM Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I would say the earlier you can get the the better your chances are of scoring the computer you want. I am really considering the WM destop. Even though there's no monitor it's a great deal for my daughter and would elminate the need to get to BB.
elena_398 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Im in Canton, Ohio and there are die hards here. Best Buy lines usually start at 6pm. Im going to take a drive later around that time to see how many are in line. Weather is great this year (last year snow/ice) and its 55 degrees today. Clear skies. First time in several years.
Ajshope Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I don't work at the Polaris store, but I work at another store that is close by, all of the ones in Columbus will be packed. I know that you probably don't want to drive this far, but the one by the Salem Mall (in Dayton) would honestly probably be your best bet. Nobody likes shopping at that store. I used to work at the Beavercreek store (also in Dayton) and the line is usually around the entire building by 2 am.
sigrist_2000 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 for once the central ohio BB are in with the doorbusters!!
Ajshope Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 for once the central ohio BB are in with the doorbusters!!Our entire district (which includes Dayton and Columbus) didn't have the national ad last year, but that was just for one year. This year the Iowa stores don't have the national ad. They just test different districts every year. It's no big deal really. Last year at the Beavercreek store, the gift card thing actually worked out pretty well. A lot of people liked it. They didn't get the super cheap deals, but they basically got all of their accessories that they needed for free.
Manduh203 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I'm in Fairlawn ohio and my best buy is nuts on a normal day lol I plan on being there at 4pm and I'm excited cause it's actually nice out! unlike last year haha
DLM Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Just came from the Polaris Best buy - only one couple with a kid in line so far. Cop was there and they were talking - not sure what it was about though. it's 5:30 here
Ajshope Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Just went past the Best Buy that I work at around 6pm and there were 10 to 15 people in line.
venerdinero Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Our entire district (which includes Dayton and Columbus) didn't have the national ad last year, but that was just for one year.I thought that last year was the 2nd time in a row they did that here. My friend told me that Reynoldsburg store had @ 15-20 people @ 2hrs ago - at least 1 tent. I'm thinking that Tuttle may be the best hope for smaller lines.
elena_398 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Well, I went by my Best Buy in Canton and it was a MAD HOUSE. By the time I left (around 7:45pm) I swear there was almost 100 people in line. Tents were up, heaters going, chairs everywhere. Totally nuts. My son was with me and he was shocked. lol. I asked the first people in line what time they showed up and they got there at noon! crap!
mpauley5 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I was just at the Polaris Store and there is 20 people camping out........I asked them what they wanted to get at BB and they all said the computer. I guess no early shopping for me.
DLM Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Trying to decide between Tuttle and Polaris!!!!???? I also just went by Polaris a little bit ago! Must have passed you. Did they say which computer they were after??
nourdmrolnmt1 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 why would you even think of shopping at the Polaris BB store. Polaris is hell on a normal day, and im not even from that area (northeast)
venerdinero Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Are there any BB locations in the fairly nearby areas that may be less crowded? Lancaster?
