black friday

Vinyl disc lovers wait for this time of year with bated breath.

Even though vinyl retailers were closed on Thanksgiving day, the holiday week was one of the best, sales-wise, for the nation.

It's really great when people are passionate about their job. Scot Simms in Westminster, Md., is one of those people.

Well, it's that time of year again: the annual, undignified retail bum-rush we call Black Friday.

Let's be honest: Black Friday brings out the worst in everyone. It's hard to believe we're kicking off the season of goodwill towards all man, while we step over bodies to grab a volume bar to go with that 55-inch TV we just ripped out of someone else's arm.

Check out how the top retailers are competing for your holiday dollar.

Black Friday is drawing near, which means you should really go shopping before the mayhem begins to load up on armor, cleats and fierce determination that will serve you well while you're scouring the shelves for the perfect toy at rock-bottom prices like a hunter searching for fresh food in a post-apocalyptic world where chaos reigns supreme.

Black Friday bring out the best deals but, often times, the worst of people. Here are a few videos from Black Friday 2013. Did you experience any of this madness?

Black Friday can be crazy, which may be why some folks are going to extremes to make sure they don't miss out on the deals.

The too-good-to-be-true bargains that abound on Black Friday may entice people to go holiday shopping, but they may lure in even more people interested in buying gifts for themselves.

The busiest shopping weekend of the year is almost behind us, with the exception of one fairly recent addition.  Cyber Monday.  Cyber Monday started in 2005 as an alternative to Black Friday.  It was also a way for on-line retailers to get in on the pandemonium that Black Friday stirs up.

It's not just the big-box stores like Walmart and Target who get mobbed by 'Black Friday' shoppers. Here you can watch as hundreds of women prepare to trample each other for fancy underwear at their local Victoria's Secret.
