2 years ago, I went to Staples at about 5:30, and was about 10th in line.

All ticketed items were behind the Customer Service desk (except for laptops and towers, they had to get those out of lockup).
Staples really doesn't have a lot of room for lines (ours at least). Bring a buddy, grab a cart, have the person with the cart get in line and the other person act as a "runner".

My Staples opens at 6am I was figuring on getting there about 2am is this to early??
I think that depends on what is on page 2 through the end of the ad.

But, yeah, in my area that would be too soon. We were there at 5:30, were about 12th in line and got everything I wanted (BUT, I wasn't after a laptop).

They just opened a Super walmart this week about a mile from Staples. I hope everyone goes there. Last year I got there about an hour early and could have gotten anything I wanted when they handed out tickets. I'm going a little earlier this year just in case. I really want a GPS this year. That's all I really want.
Radio Shack had some good deals too... The Navigon 2100 at R/S has lifetime traffic updates.

The 71st St. Staples in Tulsa actually seems less busy than the Harvard one. I went there hours after they opened and got the computer speakers, DVD-Rs, and other things I wanted. They had lots, but I don't know about laptops.
Thanks I think that I will go about 2am or so that is 4 hours before the store opens...so that should be good.

That would place you first in line. At my local Staples getting there 1 hour early is good enough to get you about 5th in line.

That Yes smiley is hilarious. It cracks me up every time I see it.

Maybe they're not running that special in Ali's area? They are here in PA though.i was just checking staples black friday ad on staples.com
and they didnt have the laptop for $350 listed.
The laptop for $349.99 is there on the front page of my local staples black friday ad, so I'm not sure what you're looking at.

Thanks for the reply.
It's all coming together now. I can hit Best Buy first at 5am, then head on over to Staples to get there as they open at 6 am. Then I can get to Office Max at 7 am then it's off to Circuit City.
Have you ever been to a store on BF? I was at BB 2 years ago and it took me over an hour to get to the counter to check out.

Yes, they give out the tickets and then send you through a line like cattle to pay and pick up your item. Good luck at getting out of there to move on to the next store.
Yeah, it takes 2 - 2.5 hours to check out of our BB on BF. BB may be your only stop, especially if you are not at the very front of the line. Make it count.
