Anyone else think black friday is a joke?
Sorry but after looking at all the bf ad's and mainly looking at tv's..............it's obvious to me prices are inflated from last year due to the stores having heavy losses. The tv's aren't any cheaper................I would even say they are more expensive than they were 2 weeks ago.................


you gotta do better if you want people to buy.

yeah a lot of people are disappointed with this years black friday ads.

i think stores arent cutting awesoem deals cuz they have lost a lot. i think they are in the mind set that people will still buy it anyways if they want it.

black friday has always been a joke IMO.

i think the stores really rely on that day to boost sales.

that's why gift cards rip. You can buy stuff on the after christmas oh crap we overstocked sales.

this black friday is not impressive by any means. $100 off a tv... big F'in deal. That's a normal sale.

It becomes even less worth it when people start camping out for it.

BF is more of an event - you go with your friends to hang out at midnight at random stores

Anyways, I'm hoping the clothing stores will have some good stuff

that's why it is called "black" friday. it's the day on which retailers bottom line turns from red to black.
