Every year Black Friday is hyped to the point of death and destruction. Last year a Wal-mart worker was literally killed.

This year, since consumer retail is hurting, the hysteria feels especially pegged on maximum throttle.

So, all of you looking to get that ultimate bargain, read this.

Deals advertised, the store may only have 3 for sale. The product maybe a "derivative" of a model, but with less features and quality. You'd never know unless you study model numbers.

Rainchecks not honored, products not shipped.

Or maybe that product is at such a bargain price because it's going to break in a matter of months. Such can be the case with expensive TVs.

So folks, enjoy your holiday but trying to save $100 bucks just isn't worth dying for.
