Atomic Dog Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Dude. Vegas just paid for all my comics. What I paid today for comic books, I won in gambling. With a little extra to spare, no less. TODAY HAS BEEN THE GREATEST DAY EVER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big giant circles Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 I survived my 16+ hour shift yesterday. I'm making a note here, huge success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-san Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Tried getting to Best buy for camera at 3 am but ended up getting my car ditched cause some soccer mom ran me off the road. Wasn't too thrilled but had some good laughs about it with my friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kureejii Lea Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Ahh, thanks. Guess it's sorta like our Boxing Day. I dunno about that. Here, Boxing Day doesn't involve stores opening at one AM to a line-up half a block around while people leap over displays, trample others and get into fistfights so they can save five bucks on a children's toy.

Dhsu Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Well, for an especially hot item (such as a Wii), just *getting* it is more important than the price you paid for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neminem Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hue values cannot even begin to explain how green I am. Not even 00FF00? That's pretty green! Good job, anyway, AD. I've never been much a fan of comic books, but I can imagine how excited I'd be if, for instance, a local bookstore were to sell old sci-fi novels for a dime each, and how much I'd spend there...

I-n-j-i-n Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 On another note, apparently Brits are having a field day for Black Friday. Because their Pound is about double the worth of the dollars. Who says Black Friday is an American thing? I bet foreigners are all over this.

XZero Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I was fortunate enough to be one of the opening managers at my GameStop on Friday. It actually wasn't terrible after our 20+ Wii's were gone, and we had a fairly good day business-wise. And Dhsu, I agree that it's often about getting the item and not necessarily the price. Did anyone else know how hard Guitar Hero III is to locate for the Wii? We got some in on Friday morning, and they were gone in a few minutes. Someone told me that we were the only store that had any in stock anywhere in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 On another note, apparently Brits are having a field day for Black Friday. Because their Pound is about double the worth of the dollars. Who says Black Friday is an American thing? I bet foreigners are all over this. Yeah, I really see no downside to Black Friday. Retailers profit and informed consumers can profit; it's a win-win. I would think that any country, even those that do not have a significant Christian population, would embrace it if given the chance. This whole idea of fist-fights and long lines, although true, is exaggerated. I'm pretty sure more of that happens in the last hours before the Christmas shopping season ends as on Black Friday. In anycase, sales typically extend in some form over the entire Black Friday weekend and the hours after the initial rush are, in my experience, much more mundane.

Bigfoot Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I've heard of Fry's Electronics, but I dunno where they actually have these stores(besides the location in the video). The line pretty much wrapped around the entire building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Mage Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Friday and Saturday went well for me at work. The camera store where I work did well, as did my commissions. The whole new lever of consumerism reached on that day does sicken me, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
