If the doors for the stores open at 5:00am, what time should I be there in line at the black friday sale?

Question

I'm setting to go to Circuit City....

Answer 1

I used to work at Circuit City and we would have to be there an hour before we opened the store...people would be lined up all around the parking lot.  If you are looking to buy a specific door-buster item, you better be at the front of the line because people come ramming through our doors and snatch things up!  I would say maybe be there around 2-3am...

Answer 2

Depends on what it is you want, If you think it's going to be a hot item or they won't have many in, get there 2-3am.  Most stores get so many of their advertised products in that there isn't really any reason to get there before 4:30.
