Cold saw? Or an abrasive chop saw?

Closest I got to the crummy mall was dropping my daughter off for work this afternoon - I absolutely despise going to the mall areas at this time of year. Cant stand the traffic, or the people and their attitudes.
How many people use Black Friday to buy x-mas gifts for their family, as opposed to buying things for themselves.

Oh, and still on my soap box here....wont by anything from BestBuy, no matter what the price.

I woke up with a hangover around 9:30 house full of retards who dont pay rent and eat me out of house and home for 3 days. Why no school ? So I drive to Walmart to check out that 50" $500 LDC TV. I saw the parking lot full of scum that should be in the welfare line and went home and cracked a hair of the dog. Id rather pay and extra $200 than stand inline for an hour with that crap

Could not have said it better myself.

Std 14" abrasive saw, nothing special. Most likely get the dewalt 200 buck model as it has a cast base and looks slighly better built than the other crap I have seen. Seems like the 50 dollar difference is worth it?! I have had good success with dewalt and milwaukee, figure most of the tolls will last a lifetime as much as I use them.

Actually my first Black Friday order was a gift for someone else.

What's wrong with Best Buy?

Also, to add to my list, I just helped my dad pick out a new HDTV and BluRay player. Picked up a Samsung LN52B750 (52" 1080P 240hz 2ms LCD) and a Samsung P3600 (Netflix Streaming Capable).

To me, they expemplify all that is wrong with US corporate america. They bought out our best local HI FI shops that had been around forever (Magnolia Hi FI) then shut down most of them. So now insted of being able to go talk to someone that really knew thier stuff, you get a pimple faced 18 year old who has no idea what a tube amp is.
Then they burned me when HD got the axe. I had two brand new unopened HD movies, and I tried to take them back - but they would only let me exchange them for other HD movies.....

That ain't the worst of it. There was a huge scandal a few years back where they were playing a bait-and-switch with the in-store kiosks showing higher prices than the internet site, even though they looked identical. And they've been known to willfully ignore consumer issues after the sale.

Best Buy will never get my business either....

one of my ex's worked for bestbuy and they do some shady things.

When someone goes to ask "Is the samsung or canon better?" The employees are TOLD to sell the one that makes the store more profit, not the one that is necessarily better. And if they are caught not making an effort to do so, they are penalized....i thought that was a load of CRAP

Not to mention i waited for 14 hours in line last year to get one of the 36 laptops they had. And bing 14th in line, i thought id get one. nope...somehow i didnt get one......fags....

my thanksgiving blackfriday is over

[QUOTE]

The AOL/Best Buy scam. They gave away so many free trials, but it was near impossible to cancel AOL. It took my mom 3 months of phone calls to cancel the "free trial" and they still tried charging her various fees. They were sued for hundreds of millions for that. Lawyers get richer.....

Their cable sales. $3 hdmi cables for $100 or more

Their warranties- pure garbage. If I'm buying a good product I shouldn't need this, and they wouldn't sell them unless they came out ahead.

And, when my mom called them out on an overcharge for her computer bundle, they told her they couldn't credit back her credit card(a standard chargeback) but only give her store credit.

Best Buy is for the masses not the educated.
