Anyone Going Out For Black Friday?

Just wondering. I might go hit up a Guitar Center, and then a Best Buy to see if anything worthwhile is left.

I'm going to hit up the local ACE sometime after 5.00. They had a B&D work table for $10 after rebates I was really interested in. Other than that, I prefer to stay out of peoples' way. I've seen enough fights when I actually worked retail.

I've been out on Black Friday before, but I didn't see any sales this time around that interested me enough to wake up that early.

Does it depress anyone else that Americans have a "holiday" sort of thing revolved around buying things for cheap, where people often get hurt, fight, and sometimes die because of it?

Greed seems to be what powers most of American these days.

Nothing against individuals, just America as a whole.

I was going to make a thread that was titled, What deals did you get on black friday?, *sigh* I should have gotten up earlier...

Nothing not going shopping

It is not a holiday, just a day for store owners to try and make money. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Canadian Boxing Day where you return presents, and then a rush of people try to pick up the returned items for a discount? A former Canadian(became an American) told me that.

Where I live, you get in line(Any store, like best buy, circut city etc.)and they go down the line asking what you want. Then they reserve it, give you a ticket. so if your last in line your going to get the doorbuster TV if you get the ticket. Then you can go hoe sleep come back and get it without worry.

I went this morning and got the GH World Tour guitar pack for $60 at walmart. We had them price match the one in the target ad. There wasn't much else that interested me..

I'll swing by Best Buy later today; they had some stuff that interested me, but not enough to sacrifice sleep.

Yeah this country is messed up like that. To be honest and quite frank, I hate what this entire planet has become, especially the US. Just a personal opinion though.
