BLACK FRIDAY - "The only day I like to shop"

[ricwilli]

Hi everyone....
Its that time of the season and BLACK FRIDAY is right around the corner. I am that guy that you might see on the news with a blanket around me trying to warm up at 3-4am waiting for the stores to open to take advantage of the big sales. So, since I am in this hobby, I was wondering if any of the LFS have any big sale on that day? If so I would have to fit it in my crazy schedule that day since I visit multiple store. Do any of you do this??????? I am looking forward to it.

Apparently THR used to do that, but have moved up to the week before because of Sales Rep availability.

IMHO, while it's fine of you want to go out shopping on "black friday" for normal items, you have to by "out of your mind" to want to do this for aquarium livestock. I would consider supplies a different issue, because if you get very much into reef systems, you find out that there are not too may LFS that carry what you want, and you'll end up getting most of it via the net.

If you purchase livestock, you want to get it home, and you are going to need several hours minimum, to properly acclimate it. This is time that would take away from your "shopping experience" at other stores.
