Topic: What are/did you guys get for Black Friday? (Read 1031 times)

Actually I think Black Friday is kind of a good "day" for people, especially in this economy crisis. However we have to like set up or control it so no one would get injured or kill :-?

LOL that's Good Friday.

Might get some btc memorabilia later today..

I bought a game with BTC !
Yay gyft.com

people beat each other up... over towels http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/30/walmart-towels_n_4365047.html

i don't understand it. honestly, it can't be that towels are so awesome that people are raising arms over it.

I spent a little bit of BTC on Bitcoin Black Friday

Sounds very american South parks parody has given me a picture of what it looks like (bit less excessesive ofc).

i haven't been to one since 2003 (B&M). was totally not worth waiting outside in the cold just to save a few dollars. i went to office depot, which was not very busy, but the line still took an hour to get through.

there were DVD burners out on the table, and one asian lady grabbed it from some guy. his response was "what the hell, lady?" the funny thing was that there were at least 20 or 30 burners on the table..

I don't live in the US so I don't get to experience black friday... Luckily!

This. Every day is Black Friday!

you don't need to watch tv to see how materialistic and stupid people are. i've been to a few, and that kind of greed (to save a few hundred dollars) is just pathetic. if i do buy anything on BF, it would be online only.

Good for you? This thread is not for you so, shoe. One or two cases doesn't define an entire event or group of people. Someone on TV told you to feel bad about it, and you believed them.

Anyway I got a really nice TV for half price.

Sound blaster Z off newegg for 54.99 without having to get up early or wait in line.

Every day in the Internet is black friday. When I can have a pallet of Ramen shipped to my door, why should I leave my inner sanctum?

I miss Bitcoin Fridays.

I got nothing. Im not christian.

lol 

We don't have black friday here (luckily) but I ordered some Lealana Bitcoins and Litecoins.

Sales period is for me the time I avoid most shops anyway, too crowded, shopping takes longer and you'll get it cheaper online anyway.
Hilarious are the people shopping in the sales period and buy all kinds of useless stuff they will never use because it is cheap.

When you have Bitcoin the world is a pound shop thanks to paper inflation, why take part in Black Friday at all?

Fuck me. Mac crashed in the middle of a backup, and Bitcoin-QT has to reindex all the blocks, which is going to take at least the next 24 hours.

No access to my wallet.dat... Goddamnit...

okay, i'm a bit complicit, i'm currently on the hunt for some laptops/ultrabooks for family members.. but nothing for myself.

Got a stand mixer ~2 weeks ago for wife (this was for Christmas, but the idea of withholding something useful until a specific date is dumb as Hell). I've been using it every day since (cutty-shreddy attachment is awesome for quick hashbrowns), and I think she's used it once. For her birthday, after being hassled, bought her a pasta maker to one which got lost in the move last year. Still in the box. 

Oh, well. The real annoyance is in finding gifts for immediate family I see maybe once every two months. They ask me what I want, I'll say something like a new mail-box post, and they think I'm being a sarcastic snot, so I get a gift card (in the absolute worst of cases, someone gets me a gift card to Best Buy because "he likes computers"). I ask them what they want, they say "I don't need anything," and then I end up getting them a gift card, but because they're married and I only got one, the other one ends up crying because I don't "love" him/her enough to get two separate cards. "Okay, so each of you puts one equal-value thing in the shopping cart which adds up to the GC total and quit bothering me." Fucking hate the holidays. Dumbest expenditures on Earth, where everyone wants to spend an equal amount on each other and ends up getting everyone something they wouldn't have purchased for themselves, because if they wanted it, they'd already have the damned thing. 

ETA: Wait, wait, wait -- not done, yet. Another thing I can't stand is how you can't purchase consumables (I've tried), like holiday gifts are supposed to be some immortal testament to your idiocy. I'd be made so much more happy by a $30 purchase of a small wheel of cheese and some hunters' sticks than a freakin' $100 gift card to some overpriced specialty store a couple towns over. But no - Christmas is "special." You eat food - that can't be special. Let's completely fucking ignore that food literally becomes a part of you. $90 HDMI cable from a jackass electronics outlet to tuck away behind a television - now that's "special."
