Black Friday 2017: Seeking New TVs to Watch, and Sneakers to Resellbr Though patrons would be limited to buying just one pair each — with some pairs marked down to just abr dollar, only one of the first 15 people in line at Cool Kicks was planning on keeping his purchase.br Mr. Lindsey, 28, said there were around 15 people ahead of him when he arrived at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving night — 12 hours before the store would open.br Many customers trying to access the online Black Friday deals offered by Lowe’s — up to 40 percent off certain appliances, half-priced power tools and more — instead encountered glitchesbr that caused the site to fail mid-purchase or struggle to load at all.br Ryan Marlar, 26, of Garland, was the only person sitting outside Dick’s Sporting Goods waiting for the store to open at 5 a.m. With plans to buy ammunition on sale, Mr. Marlar sat on the tailgate of his truckbr and said he expected to see at least a few other people waiting to get in.br In a clear sign that online sales and Thanksgiving Day openings have taken abr bite out of Black Friday, many Dallas stores had no morning crowds at all.br They’re shopping for “anything and everything,” laughed Mr. Heide; and their store tour started early.br I always go and do it.” — PATRICK MCGEEbr Our colleagues over at Wirecutter, a New York Times companybr that reviews products, have a running list of Black Friday deals on everything from trash cans to cameras to artificial Christmas trees.
