If you're interested my kids have some they wouldn't mind selling
Black Friday, when the Furby craze was at it's height I drove from Stamford CT to Newburgh NY figuring they weren't that sophisticated upstate NY. (I know, pretty snobby)
Got up at 4 a.m. and upon arriving at 5:30 a.m. at the local Walmart, a double line of at least 50 yards had already formed around the building.
Gave up there, but a
hot tip was that Kaybee toys (remember them?) in a nearby mall had some Furbys.
Quickly drove over there to see a very short line. Got in line, but it turned out they were only giving tickets for Furbys to the first 25 people which they let in one at a time. (They did not mention how many tickets they were going to give out)
Drove to another Walmart to just witness a stampede and people fighting to get the cheap 3 TVs, Furbys etc.
I returned laughing at myself for being so dumb and swore to NEVER again fall for ANY hype of an allegedly hyped shortage of anything. (Hence , I can wait for new iPhone models forever, until there is ample supply)
There was some less regret/embarrasment since I only did it for my daughters. They did eventually get their Furbys and true
to form being kids after a few days of playing with them, they got annoyed at the permanent talking and put them into a dark closet.
Many years later, while moving I found them again and they still talk.
So, no thank you , don't want to buy any, but maybe my (I know lengthy) story can help some people to realize that black Friday is business manipulation at it's finest for gullible people.
Congrats to the few that are successful, but I'd rather sleep and more so have peace of mind,knowing I am not missing anything.
Happy holidays and bargain hunting to all!.
