Yeah, I hate lines too, and would love to avoid Black Friday entirely.

Luckily, my wife is a moderate when it comes to Black Friday, so some of the more hard core folks are gone by the time we arrive.

Black Friday is a good time to get picture with Santa at our mall – because everyone’s trying to get the best deals in the stores.

I am an avid web shopper too Kosmo.

A few of my favorites:

http://www.amazon.com
http://www.buy.com
craigslist.org – you have to find your local site
http://www.ebay.com
http://www.negegg.com

There are very few things I don’t buy on the internet. Here are a few:

1. Beer – the kegs are too heavy and the changing temperature just isn’t conducive.
2. Handguns – I can usually find a better deal locally.
3. Ammunition – I’ve found the shipping usually makes it a worse deal in the long run.

I can’t stand crowded stores so if I can shop on line, I’m there. I wish stores would do a better job of offering Black Friday deals online. There are some, but most are still traditional brick and mortar. I’ll just wait for Cyber Monday.

Great article Kosmo.

That’s a bit out of my price range, unfortunately. I mostly have cards from the 80s to present. I also go after League Leader cards from past decades. I have one card with Aaron, Mays, and Clemente – paid about $3 for it, but it look great.

Hey Kosmo – Any interest in buying some excellent condition 1955-1958 Topps & Bowman baseball cards?

I’ve got names such as Sandy Koufax rookie, Mickey Mantle, Roberto Clemente, Whitey Ford, Al Kaline, Yogi Berra and more.
