Are any of the online companies posting BF or BM sales?

The early morning cold chills waiting in line was fun for the first 10 mins. The next hour seemed to drag on until the store opened. I've already got a new touch Zune.

Maybe a good laptop deal would interest me. Just sole my 2 year old laptop for $100 to a school buddy.

Yep, only thing I'll do is any online sales that Newegg or someone like that has.

I just picked up a pre-Black Friday deal from TigerDirect...
Acer X213HBid 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 5ms, 1920x1080, 20000:1 Native, 60Hz, HDMI, Black (A179-2104) - $119.99.

I saw the same deal a few days prior from another vendor, but missed it. This time, I didn't hesitate.

Apparently if you have it in your newegg cart your not safe, there was a big lag in applying the promo code to the Aspire One netbook and by the time it got applied and I got to complete the order it had been yanked from my cart. 2 minutes tops

Did get a new monitor though, Acer P235Hbmid Black 23" $139 with code EMCMMNV55 on top of the cut price for BF.

Uh huh, Cart doesn't guarantee anything.

Also, there is no shipping today, so don't expect items to arrive today...expect them Monday even if you ordered overnight shipping.

Guess that netbook deal with NewEgg didn't go well for a lot of people. They posted on their FB page that there were several people that completed the order then got an email that said they were out of stock after they got their order confirmation email.

Explains the lag, must have been a HELLOFALOT of people hitting the egg at one time to slow their servers down. Don't feel so bad, deal started at 8 by 8:02 they were gone.

We tried to get onto the egg. It must have had tremendous amount of traffic since we had timed out on nearly every click. High speed DSL could not get us in. We then gave up.
