Re: Big Thanksgiving Day Sales
I've done that several times for CompUSA's midnight madness sales.. It's just a nice social experiment.. a majority of the people waiting in line are Asians.. desi or cheenay.. but there's definitely a lot of gora geeks too..
Right before opening time, the employees come out and ask people what they're in line for and then hand them a 'token' of sorts. This way everyone at the back knows they're not gonna get any cuz it's usually the first 15 or 20 people in the line who get those 'reservations' for the good stuff that's on sale.. Most people end up with cheap media (after MIR) or other networking stuff (some even free AR).
It's fun.. at least for those who refuse to pay retail for whatever they buy.
