Like mindz said.. but in reality its become more of a marketing scheme.. Stores Mark certain popular items WAY down under cost to draw customers in.. but it only cuases customers to line up days in advance just to buy those marked down items..
For instance Last year here in phx TV's and Computer monitors where the rage, I got a 32" LCD tv for $399.99 but I had to stand in line for 2 hours (5am to 7am). I wanted a 22" wide screen monitor for my PC but when i got to best buy (at 4:30am) there where already over 80 people in line. So I popped over to Home depot (Plan B) and was first person in line at 5 am.. nobody thinks of TV's when you mention home depot.. but they had them and I got one.
PS. I never shop black Friday sales unless I'm buying for myself, No gift is worth spending large amounts of time in line unless I'm benefiting.
