QOTD: What Will You Buy For Black Friday?

[tlmck]

I am still waiting for some "real" deals. Most of what I have seen so far is the same stuff at the same prices for the last few months.

The only approaching a deal is the $199 full size Sempron laptop at Walmart. I have no use for such a thing, and I'm definitely not fighting the crowd of morons at Walmart. The potential medical bills would negate any savings.

If I can afford it, 2 hours with the model above.

I would like to buy True Happiness but in the meantime I'll rent it for two hours.

Much like most people here I ain't back jack squat; In fact I'm so tired of all the Black Friday emails that I can't wait for it to be over. Way I look at it is, if I wanted/needed something I would have bought it by now. Just because someone threatens to give me a good deal on something, doesn't magically make it something I need or want.

Dragon Age for under $40 sounds mighty tempting!

 

[phatboe]

I have not seen anything that I want on sale this year so I won't be buying anything. Black Friday deals this year aren't as good as it used to be.

My Black Friday was actually last Friday, after some long searching online, I lucked up and found and purchased, and was delivered to my door yesterday a BFG GTX 285 OCFU. Sweet!!!

something cheap, bahhhhhhh
beware of herd mentality

 

[sailfish]

What with the dollar weakened to a state of a shounen anime schoolgirl, most foreign electronic stuff is more expensive this year than the comparable stuff was last year. So, Black Friday holds no special appeal for me this year.

Have a festive Turkey Day everyone!

PS: That goes for you, too, foreigners ... you know who you are.

Nothing... I will buy nothing, and I will enjoy every last bit of the nothing I will buy.

I might get a ping pong table.

 

[nachowarrior]

i am buying anything that's free.

 

[wmalinowski]

Normally, I usually don't anything on Black Friday. But those fools....ahem, great people at newegg had Rosewill 1000w power supply BRB-1000M for $99.99(includes free shipping). Worth a shot IMHO.

 

[socrates047]

maybe a ps3, was gonna wait untill boxing day, but the walmart deal looks really good, do u guys think that i should wait for boxing day?

 

[Manos]

The Christmass model has no boobs and I love curves. The one I'll be playing with is gifted and has to do with what ill be buying for her on Friday. And its really not relevant to mention in here what ill be buying . Techwise I dont know. I dont plan those things when I go on a spree for myself. I have just those others plans for now and im good with it.

 

[invlem]

Windows 7 possibly (hoping some sort of deal will occurs since I want a retail non-oem copy).

Also need a NAS unit and a few drives for home, hoping for some good deals on a set of 1.5TB drives

 

[rooket]

lol @ her holding "Magnum" you know what that means

But seriously I haven't seen much of interest. Sure big screen tv prices are good. already have one though..so rummaging through the paper I found some semi decent flash memory deals. But overall the prices found in black friday specials can be found year round if you wait so it isn't so much too special. Still, better than the last 2 years anyhow.

I haven't chewed on my foot in a while, but isn't Sarah Chris A.'s wife, or was that another time Chris got her to do some modeling for THG?

Had I caught it in time, I would have joined Shadow in purchasing that Intel SSD. I'm planning a round of upgrades after Christmas though, so I think my window for good deals will be open for quite a while yet.

[rant] Other than the family stuff, this is my least favorite time of year. The stores are mobbed with drones, as are the roads. Even grocery shopping can become a chore. Every mall hires a professional liar to tell children they can get things without earning them. I can hardly turn on a radio without hearing religious drivel, and every store thinks it should sell toys, often stacked in aisles, or otherwise in the way of whatever "regular" merchandise I came to find. I'll be very glad when January gets here.

I have found that all the free advice here on what is a good deal is worth it's cost.
