Holy crap. Is a $200 computer or tv worth it?

Apparently, yes. I wonder how much $ they're gonna spend.
prob. $2000
then they're prob. gonna re-sale it..:pimp

Fuck that never, its like people that will wait an hour because gas is 8 cents cheaper.

poor fools probably could of found just as good deals online any time of the year..

its crazy the amount of people that camp outside bestbuy for these deals..they have roll calls every couple hours to make sure every one is still there..

Girl you need to get closer to your asian roots! Shopping for a good bargain is what asian women do, it's in our blood lmao. It's cold at night during thanksgiving, I normally take a few sleeping bags with my family to Frys hahahaha.

My thing is I'd rather pay the difference in savings to NOT have to do that

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You know, I am the bargain QUEEN! But I'm not a slave to Christmas presents. People will get what I give them and like it, dammit! :winkwink:

that's just crazy. I mean, I love best buy as much as the next guy, but a deal can wait you know.

what fucking morons, seriously. they are going to wait for a week for some special deal? why not get a job at McDonalds and make $8/hr for that time you are sitting outside and you can afford to buy 2x as much shit.

idiots :2 cents:

gotta get more stuff....its the key to happiness, you know

Better them than me as I would NEVER do that.

They are attention whores plain and simple, up here all the boxing day sales are also online, no need to even wait in line.

that shit fuckin pisses me off...fuckin danica patrick you dumb bitch i can turn left better then you can you fuckin bitch

What's crazy is Best Buy is giving them some sort of special prize, they haven't announced what it is yet, for being the first store campers in the nation this year.

I wonder where they use the bathroom when the store is closed?

Some serious dedication, that's what that is.....

that's pretty damn ridiculous...:2 cents:

haven't people died from these shopping frenzies?

Yea, i wonder how much money they are losing on income to try and save $250 on a television. This is out of control, fuck black friday

Some are losing no income ... get the day off with pay and/or collect government benefits.

At least they have a tent set up and are going about it in a clean orderly way. Better than using a sleeping bag to camp out for Black Friday. Good on them.

are the ads even out yet to say what they are even offering? For all they know, they are waiting for 7 days for something stupid like a free phone for a 3 year contract or free tv cleaning clothes with purchase! lol

I wonder if a homeless person started this trend?

+1 - The deals are not even that good usually.

You can find everyones black friday ad online, weeks before the actual sale. Then again, if these people are stupid enough to camp outside best buy for a fucking week, they probably don't know that.

They are camping out for more than a week - that is quite impressive.
When people camp with all comforts in a reasonable tent - it catches attention.
When a homeless bum sleeps in rags - it often goes unnoticed.

IF you read the story, you'd see they swap with other people at night, so it's 12 hours they are camping. Not the same thing as never leaving.

Ugh... :Oh crap

This is at my local Best Buy. Turns out they gave them two free iPads.

Still not worth it - $800 to sleep on a side walk for a week?

And as already mentioned - 1) there's no crazy "sales" anymore... 2) whatever is on sale can be gotten online.

Best Buy is loving it though - all the free publicity they're getting out of this.

the american entrepreneurial spirit at it's finest. i love it.
