ºoº Here's an email that I received from GottaDeal reminding me of BlackFriday deals after Thanksgiving Day.

For those that don't know, they list the newspaper ads of the different store's after Thanksgiving sales ahead of time and email them to you or you can see them when they become available on their website.

I was in Best Buy this weekend and got a Nano for my DS for Christmas. The salesperson told me they are going really fast, so I was lucky to get one.

You might want to buy one now and then if a discount comes out take it back and exchange it.

I saw on fatwallet today that aldi is going to have the idpod shuffle (I know doesn't compare with the nano) after 10/10 for $59.99.

Well considering how terrible the sales were at Wal-Mart last year I predict they will up the ante this year to get back some of their business. WE went later in the day and there were pallets of sale product all over the place. It was a good indication that they did not get that many people in.

They are opening a new Ikea near us two weeks before but I am afraid to go on Black Friday. God knows what it will be like.

Best Buy was so bad last year we were there at 5:00 and the line was already at least 200 people long..they were giving out slips for the product and I was too late to get the personal dvd player. At 5:00!!!!! They were out of the sale items before the store opened! They should NOT have been letting people reserve the items before the opening. If it happens this year I will be on the phone and the e mail to customer service at corporate.

Did you respond to the e-mail they sent after you registered?? Until you do that you'll receive a message saying you don't have permission to post.

Best Buy does this to prevent the mad rush to get in the door when it opens. There still is a mad rush but then people that get up early have all ready been taken care of. Email all you want it won't change. They would rather do this then have the cops at every store dealing with riots.

oh and I live in the Twin Cities area where Best Buy is based. This is something that is discussed every year. I wish other stores would do this.

I have to agree...I've been in stores where fights have broken out over people grabbing for merchandise. A few years ago, the female mgr at the local K-Mart was shoved around by a guy who didn't get the Barbie items he was supposed to get. I've seen folks at Wal-Mart rip apart boxed crates to get to the doorbuster items (when the employees couldn't get the crates open fast enough). And I had one woman ram her cart into my side...so I wouldn't get in front of her to get a tv....I was saying "excuse me" to get through the line to get into the store and didn't want the stinky tv. People can be pretty darn mean when it comes to those sales.

I'd rather get in line early, get my voucher for the items that I want and be able to get the items without worrying about some yahoo trying to beat me over the head for it.

My husband & I have praised our local Best Buy Store Manager for her ability to keep the madness to a minimum. They hand out maps with the store diagram and where the "door buster" items are located. They have store employees "work" the line...giving out vouchers (yes, they go in order...so the folks who spent the night, get first dibs), telling jokes and keeping folks pumped up, handing out credit applications (brilliant idea!), and basically ensuring that latecomers do not get in the store before the crazy early bird folks (yep...I'm one of them...before 5am).

Last yr she even improved upon her system...they roped off a huge "check out" line, so folks wouldn't be able to break in line...she also had employees walking the line, answering questions, and selling the BB credit card opportunity (she's a smart one, isn't she!!).
