Rod Wynn · Post by **Rod Wynn** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 4:06 pm

So who all is planning on going up there?
Also do you guys think that people will be camping out or what?

ASD · Post by **ASD** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 4:10 pm

Camping out U bet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

N.A.R · Post by **N.A.R** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 4:17 pm

I'll be there, worked an extra hour today and will do the same tomorrow to get some time on in the AM to be at BPS. Umph....

What time does this place open up? And have we gotten any confirmation on this deal and the dates?

biteme · Post by **biteme** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 4:25 pm

Going and camping. Can someone confirm the day this is going on.

Rod Wynn · Post by **Rod Wynn** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 4:46 pm

When you guys say "camping" do you guys mean that you guys will be there on Thursday night and staying throughout the night until they open on Friday morning..? (A question and an answer all in one)

macinckirk · Post by **macinckirk** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 4:55 pm

I think they open at 9:00am on the 26th, I'll be there by 6:00am if I get 1 fine if not oh well, if it looks like there is more then 50 guys there allready I'll just head home and come back that night and do my shoping at the double points time

I could use a new Lowrance.. its been awhile since i've bought me any kind of fishing graft!! i'm still using the Pinpoint 7520 and I love those very much but its time to upgrade!

What can you guys tell me about this unit? how good is it?? is it going for under 800dollars?? Whats up!!!

ASD · Post by **ASD** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 5:28 pm

This is what you missed....
http://www.westernbass.com/forum/viewto ... =56111&f=2

Talked to someone today and they do go on sale Friday morning and before they open they are going to pass out numbers to the first 50 people. I wish they opened at 5:00. It's going to be a long wait from sun-up until they open. Maybe there will be some fights to pass the time.

I'm gonna try and get one but who knows. The unit is pretty small and it costs $600 to upgrade to side scan. I think its over priced at $700.

See you guys there on Sat AM. Gonna work the isles for the Spring Classic. Stop by and say hello.

X_24 · Post by **X_24** » Wed Feb 24, 2010 7:12 am

U guys are idiots I already got more than half of them secured.I'm going to Stockton and Oakland to pick up the nastiest smelliest homeless dudes I can find to stand in line for me and buy them some cheep boos and no one will want to be near them.Plus I'll give them a milk gallon so that they wont loose their spot in line.Also u might want to make sure you ont sleep next to them or stand next to them as they might pass some deadly gas.I'm not joking either those units are mine!!!!!!

Jim V. · Post by **Jim V.** » Wed Feb 24, 2010 10:07 am

Are you guys sure it's an HDS-5? Because that's not what their ad says.

The BPS add that came to the house yesterday showed the HDS-5 fishfinder/GPS 83/200 at $799.99

and an Eagle Fishmark 640c as...
SPECIAL BUY!
NO RAIN CHECKS!
LIMITED QUANTITIES
$269.99
COMPARE TO $449.99

You can see their add on-line also.

biteme · Post by **biteme** » Wed Feb 24, 2010 10:40 am

Just checked the forecast, its going to rain.

macinckirk · Post by **macinckirk** » Wed Feb 24, 2010 10:49 am

just got off the phone and they will NOT have any LSS-1's there

whats the point then.

think I'll just order a hds 8 and lss-1 though anchor and be done for 2 months till I buy the 10
by the way there are 20.00 less on everything then anywere else I could find and I have spend days on this

Kevin · Post by **Kevin** » Wed Feb 24, 2010 2:10 pm

The line starts on the North side of the building. I'm in a red/blue pop up tent. The two guys ahead of me that they have Bass club buddies that are going to show up Friday morning. I'm sure they're going to let them cut in line. Bring warm clothing and lots of blankets. Last night was freeeeezing.

Andy Lippert · Post by **Andy Lippert** » Wed Feb 24, 2010 2:45 pm

Hey! I'm one of those bass club buddies...you'd better let me in or else we're gonna have some "problems"!

haha

My buddies said they're so die hard that they're pooping in plastic bags, just so they won't lose their spots. BPS black friday should be a good one. Let's see if we can rival Wal Mart and trample a worker!

Andy

Which BPS store are we talking about here?

freeride78 · Post by **freeride78** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 9:08 am

To clarify, there are 69 units in the store. They will be selling for $269.99 and numbers will be given to the first 69 people in line. Numerous people are calling the store and do truly intend to spend the night. Good luck and my advice is to call in sick today.

Just spoke to the Manteca Store and she said that there are about 15 people in line for tomorrow's 9AM sale but she didn't know if anyone is in a tent. She said one person called from Oregon and is coming down for the Lowrance. Must be driving a hybrid car. I thought the sale was on Saturday and not Friday, but oh well, I have to work. I'm stuck with my black/white Hummingbird combo for now.

mm · Post by mm » Thu Feb 25, 2010 7:29 pm

How many in line now?

Rick G · Post by **Rick G** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 7:30 pm

$600.00 regular less $270.00=$330.00 in savings x2 [team derby]=$660.00 in savings - $530.00 DVl entry =$130.00 for gas and expences like lake entry. Still have a little left over for your wife Jason. See you there. Rick G.

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 7:31 pm

Ha Ha, I heard the cops just ran everyone out of there! LMFAO!.

SpereAuctioneer · Post by **SpereAuctioneer** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 8:15 pm

Was by the RC store and the line was started with about 6 or so people already in line and this was about 1.5 hours ago. They have a portion roped off right near the door and people have their chairs waiting already. Latest word I heard is not 69 but forty something units on hand??? I am not sure of the accuracy of the info that was provided. Someone should put a live cam up so we can see the line forming and then know if we have to go real early or is it worth it to get out of bed early or not? If I was smarter I could set up the cam and charge a $5 login fee to let everyone see the line and I would make enough to buy a couple units?
Anyways thought WBass would want to know line has formed. The reason I am sharing is I have gotten in on some deals of this nature in the past and would want to provide others with opportunity if they are willing to wait it out too.
I asked my wife if she wanted to go tonight and wait in line for me but the response was not favorable. lol.
