I don't cause people here lose thier minds in this city when this day rolls around. I haven't ever really partook of this shopping day. I am usually too broke to do anything.
As far as the internet shopping day Cyber Monday goes I will have my website updated and I am advertising so hopefully I will get some sales this year.
What about you?

I used 2 participate in black friday. But it gets crazy n crazy every yr so I try to stay away from shoppin on black friday. Plus It's hard 4 me to get the day off work 2 go shopping. This yr I'm just doing my shopping online cuz it's much easier that way 2 me I think! Plus not alot of money to spend this yr anyhow. I wish I was rich!

I'm going to do the Black Friday thing; you can get good deals. I'll especially hit Best Buy and Target; my favorite local stores, as well as the Chistmas Loft where I will shop for my Christmas obsessed mom.

I have the past three or so years and have gotten some pretty nice deals. I know the crowds are crazy and stuff but that makes it really interesting. I like being able to hunt down deals. I guess I see it as one giant game to me. It's also nice getting the great deals that you can get on Black Friday. I'm not sure if I will be going this year or not. I guess it depends on what deals I see and if I think they can be of use.

I'm like you , usually have no money to shop, although one year I did. I will never do it again. It was the most insane thing I have ever seen. People going crazy over sales. My husband went with me, and he was not happy at all being in such a crowd of people grabbing, and pulling on merchandise.
Hopefully your business will do well this year.

As long as I have money I love Black Friday!! It's no fun without money. Haven't done a bunch of Cyber Monday shopping. Maybe I will this year!!

I never had done the Black Friday shopping - things are just not that much cheaper to go through all that! Usually they only have 10 of the big sale items in the store so the first 10 get them and then they are gone. I shop before and after and watch the sales and get good stuff just as cheap and don't have that ordeal to go through! Although I hear alot of people enjoy it - can't imagen how, but they say they do!

No - I usually don't have the money to just go out and shop wildly! My gift buying is usually more "specific" - I want a certain thing for a certain person and usually can't find what I want while fighting crowds.
That is the second reason I don't go - I don't like to shop in crowds.

Hey sweet! No way would I ever go near a store on Black Friday!
Those people are insane! I'm not risking my life or limbs to
get crushed or worse! I don't have any money to spend and even
if I did, I would wait! I'm not waiting on line in the middle
of the night in the freezing cold with a bunch of lunatics!
Nothing is worth that! I have never gone or even considered
going! I will stay home on that day and do work in my nice
safe apartment! If I did have money I would have definitely
done some Cyber shopping! But, I can't so that's it! I do
want to wish you luck on your sales though. I know that you
are hoping that it is a good day for your things to sell. So
I hope that you make alot of sales online!

I loooove shopping on Black Friday! There is something just so "holiday season" about it. I don't usually have really bad problems with lines and things like that, either. But I don't know about this year. I am without a job, so holiday shopping is going to be hard on me. Probably all the more reason why I should get up and go to all the 6am sales though! To get all the mega-deals! :)

No, I do not participate in Black Friday. I try and stay as far away from Black Friday as I possibly can. Mind you, we have Thanksgiving in October up here in Canada, so no one really thinks about Black Friday, but if they did, and if the malls were as crazy as I hear, I would not go near them on that day.
