Black Friday

[BestOfMe]

Who here thinks that VMK should have there own black friday and everything is now half price? for they day ofcourse

 

[MomsGoneGoofy]

Yes and open the game super early that day, and have some early bird specials too.

Nice idea, but I guess we would all end up complaining about the wait lines and crashing.

This is a fabulous idea, except for those of us who ARE in retail and have to be at work to have the store open by 4:30 AM

But YAY! It is my favorite day to work...such a madhouse and crazy lines...but I wear my Santa hat and pass out candycanes to people waiting.
Boy I love the holiday season

ahhh the good ol days of retail work. I think i had it worse then any other retail job as i used to work at toys r us. This place wasent only a madhouse, it was like a huge steel cage WWE match. The things people do, or try to dom just to get this years "hot item" was nuts. We used to give out numbers for shopping carts! The year furbys were the "item" we didnt even open the huge boxes they came packed in..we just screamed "FURBYS" and tosses the box into a crowd and it was gone in seconds. good luck working friday, i dont mis it!

I see a sale of the items that were only available during beta and other rare items.

I seriuosly wish that VMK would change out some of the regular specials they have been there forever!

I AGREE !! They are no longer special .. just been sitting there forever. Either put them in with the regular merchandise or take them away !!

that would be exciting wake up at 5 eastern and play vmk, lol but that would be 2 am pacific, lol

 

[4fosterkids]

Oh my gosh...this would be such a fun idea!
Let's hope they surprise us with something....I can see a shopping frenzy in the emporium already....!! Woot Woot (sorry to those who hate woots...I still love them!!)
I like surprises on VMK much more then their long, drawn out, pre hyped events that end in disaster!

 

[Maleficent2]

WOW sounds like fun! I hope they do something like that, great idea!

I can feel the retail pain, too.

Back in the day, when The Disney Store was actually decent (meaning
that I could add heartily to my wardrobe from that store), I helped open
a new store in a suburb north of Chicago in October, 1995.

Now, if any of you can recall, that was the year of the Lightyear Fiasco.
Hopefully many of you can remember the line Tour Guide Barbie recites
in "Toy Story 2", where short-sighting manufacturers didn't make enough
Buzz Lightyears to keep up with demand. We had a nice stack of them
before Thanksgiving, but on Black Friday, they were all GONE.

Believe me when I tell you that being a Disney Store cast member was
not fun during that holiday season. (And yes, I hated wearing the
cheerleader sweater with walking shorts. Bleh.)

I recall fondly having a total of 71 hours worked the week of Christmas.
40 hours at my full-time job, and 31 hours at TDS. I ran on fumes.

Lori,
I worked for TDS for 6 (1995-2001) years and remember my lovely blue sweater (along with a maternity version twice) as well as 6 black friday & holiday seasons!
Loved every minute of them...but glad I left the stores before they went down hill.
What a small world....after.....all.....lalalalala.........ok, stop that song quick!!

Black Friday is the reason I work in a resturant People are *too* busy shopping to go to Chuck E Cheese.

My little brother works at Michaels, the craft store... he has to work at 3:45 in the morning.

 

[MicMin]

Great idea BestOfMe. A special sale would be fun.

I agree that they should change the specials.

 

[shadow pirate]

Genious idea. The only downside is that people would kill others in lines to get the items. I can imagine people crashing next in line, people ripping limbs of however got the item they're looking for. And then there's the people camping on the VMK home page for like 3 days to make sure they're first in line. Kind of like certain stores when a certain console was about to come out.

I refuse to pay 399! or wait in line to pay that either!!!

your talking about the new x-box, yes?

The game store by my house... had 21 pre-orders, and Odered them for Sony... and still only sent them 12... they are TRYING to build the demand! Yikes.

 

[GuestRiku]

That is an Awesome Idea BestOfMe

 

[iluvcountry]

Quick, grab expensive stuff as fast as you can!

Why yes I am. Have you seen people who normally don't leave their house fighting people who move slightly in front of them? I swear some of them got limbs broken.

The Lines WOULD Be bad but think of the huge benefits
