What would you camp out overnight on the sidewalk to buy?

[skygazer]

A friend's husband is doing just that at the local Target to get some video game that's coming out. I honestly can't think of a single thing that would be worth it to me - not when it was something that I could get later. Can you?

[terrya]

1. Not a thing.

I can't think of a thing I'd want where I'd have to camp out overnight to buy.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Especially not at THIS time of year....

A tad breezy out there, isn't it?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. Is that the Gears of War game?

People are getting tattoos of that game.

Some people are such suckers for marketing.

[skygazer]

4. I'm pretty sure it is

I refused to get my kid a Cabbage Patch doll because it was such a marketing ploy - I can't believe how many suckers are born every minute.

3. I've camped out overnight three times to get a parking permit.

Denville, NJ is probably the most fucked-up suburban town in existence for parking

[skygazer]

5. See, that makes more sense to me

That's something you need and that you can't neccessarily get unless you get it then. But it sure sucks that you'd have to do it.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. Yeah, the whole town was 1-hour parking.

With only 30 permit spots in the buisiness district. Competition was fierce and naturally they held this in winter, so we could get hypothermia in the process.

7. It would have to be a miracle cure

for all that ails me, or someone else. I can't think of anything else.

8. Was just at Target

and was wondering what all those kids were doing with sleeping bags out front. Is this for a game or a new console?

[skygazer]

9. I think it's that Gears of War game

I don't keep up with that stuff at all. :shrug:

[Left Is Write]

10. Absolutely nothing I can think of.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. An original Ansel Adams photo.......nothing else!

[noshenanigans]

12. I camped out once..

when I was at UNC to get tickets for the Duke game (which we then won, thank you very much). I wish I could say I'm way above any of that, but I bought Guitar Hero 2 when the electronics store opened last Tuesday, so I guess I'm not. But I'm a girl, so that has to count for something, right?

[QMPMom]

14. Well, if it was a super good sale, I'd do it for an

Isabella Fiore bag. Not just any Isabella Fiore bag, because some of them are hideous. But, for one of the fabulous ones, I'd definitely do it. I get 30% off of them where I work, but even with 30% off they are still too expensive.

[unsavedtrash]

15. the next Harry Potter

yeah, I know but I still would.
:blush:

[Broken_Hero]

16. nothing...

absolutely nothing....I do have some things that I go for, like when dvd's I want, at times I go get them at midnight...other than that...camping out for days, or even overnight for something to buy? Never...

[bertha katzenengel]

17. World Series tix. Did it in '77 -- Yanks v. Dodgers.

I'd do it again.

[Art_from_Ark]

18. I've never camped out to buy anything

although I have waited hours outside in the cold waiting for immigration office doors to open

[texanwitch]

19. I saw people doing that at Walmart, I had a $10 gift card to spend.

This was one windy day to be camping out, one guy didn't even have a tent just a sleeping bag.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. A plane ticket for a flight to the Hague

to watch the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice war crimes trial.

[Fuzz]

21. A couple Senators

[MoseyWalker]

22. One a them cool talkin' jesus dolls

that the toys for totdemons wouldn't take.

I'd have people laughing for hours!

[VeggieTart]

23. Nothing.

The last time I waited in line to buy tickets (that I remember) was in 1984 for Duran Duran tickets.

[femmocrat]

24. I can't think of anything worth losing a night's sleep over.
