What are you going to buy this Dark Friday?

This isn't exactly gun related.

Anyway, IBTL and all that...


Check out www.bfads.net for adscans and lists.

A couple of things:

- I haven't paid much attention to Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. etc. as the nearest locations are in St. George, a 45-minute drive down the freeway; I'd have to set out at 2AM to even have a chance at getting in on any of the deals worth driving that far for.

- It's evident why Walmart has been shooting cease and desist letters all over the place: their ad blows. Half the stuff can be purchased online currently for the Black Friday prices, and the remainder is a bunch of dull BS. I'm hoping their goons just leaked a fake ad on purpose, because the one we've got is pitiful.

Only things I'll be buying are a 400GB SATA hard drive or two from Staples ($60 after rebate) and a few things from Home Depot. Everything else is either too far to bother or just doesn't have my interest. I'd like to find a 17" or larger LCD monitor to replace the 15" Dell that blew out on my mom for not more than $100ish, and a decently-priced LCD TV for myself (no space in room, need a wall-mount) - but I don't want to spend more than $300 or so. I was hoping someone would have a 26-27" for that price, but the only deals have been on 42s for around 800 bucks. Over the last few years I've toned down my buying from "ohmygoditssofreakingcheapMUSTBUY" to "will I really ever use this, ever?" after accumulating a nice pile of useless crap (which mostly got trashed or sold off at a loss, even at BF prices) and blowing money that would have been better-spent on guns and ammo.

Kind of sucks. Past Black Fridays have been much better to me. This one seems to be a fizzle.

I am going to obtain lots of 9mm. brass. Not so much by buying, but by shooting.

I figure Friday Thain and I both have off, everyone will be busy shopping. Nice leisurely breakfast and then we'll take turns going to the range.

He'll have to go first. He never manages to pick up all his brass. Always gotta clean up after the menfolks. :rolleyes:

Yeah, sales can be nice, buy after working together in retail and psuedo-retail for a coupla years, we don't buy a darn thing on Black Fridays. No way, no how. Too many years of showing up at four am day after thanksgiving to preapre for the onslaught of Insane People. No thank you! Panckakes and the range it is.
