Do you seriuosly think that there won't be any crowds at 5:00am on Black Friday? People will be heading there to "camp out" Thursday night.

I tried that schtick a few years back, but it wasn't really worth the stress.

My best deal ever was actually a store error in my favor.
I saw a great deal on a 16" chainsaw at HD, and decided to get that and a 10" table saw, also on sale. Well, the stock clerks failed to stock the chainsaws properly, so I picked up what I thought was a chainsaw, picked up the table saw and headed to the checkout.
They scanned the boxes, I pad and went home.

The next day, when I wanted to check out the saw, I discovered that they hadn't seperated the boxes and I ended up with 2 chainsaws wrapped up in one bundle. I didn't know it was 2, and the cashier never bothered to check either. So I ended up returning one of the saws for a store credit, and essentially got a free chainsaw.
