Default Black Friday 2007

It's that time of year again. Time to fight those crowds of crazy people in order to get the best bargain possible on the dreaded day known as Black Friday.

We are one week away from the big event, and just so you can stay ahead of the game, here are some helpful links to get you started.

http://www.bfads.net
http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com
http://www.fatwallet.com/c/1/
http://www.theblackfriday.com
http://www.blackfridayhome.com
http://www.blackfriday.info

This year on my BF list is decent cheap laptop, GPS unit, and TV. I have been monitoring a couple of sites for the past two weeks or so, watching the new deals pop up for all of the stores.

This thread could be a good discussion of good deals that some of you are finding. Also helpful would be if any of you own some of the products that are going to be discounted on Friday, could give us your reviews on some items.

The day is drawing near, let the madness begin!

The people I don't understand are the idiots that go shopping on "Black Friday" but like late morning or afternoon.

You either have to go balls to the wall and get there at 4am or don't bother. What is the point of showing up after all of the great deals are done, but you still have to put up with the millions of people?




Tip: Whichever store you want to go, find the one in the richest and smallest town around you. I've found that ones near cities/colleges seem to be the worst, and its not just size of population, its what % of that population is willing to get up at 4am.

But seriously, I was mainly looking for a good TV deal this year, but finding a good deal thus far as many other posters have stated has been a problem. Other than that I could care less.

nothing is really exciting me about the TV's either. i have my heart set on a 46" or 52" Samsung, and there's nothing even close to that yet. i may be using my onecall.com gift certificates from stars and pricematching with amazon.com to get a good deal.
