Which probably explains why the company is in bankruptcy.

I did the same thing, but I got in online Thursday evening to snag a couple of close-out deals (an MP3 player & an 8-gB thumb drive), which were supposed to be ready for me to pick up at the store 24 minutes after they opened Friday a.m. I didn't get around to picking them up until Sat evening, & when I got there they hadn't pulled them from stock. Turns out they had sold out of the thumb drives, & the MP3 was the last one in stock. And because my order was not ready, they had to pay out $24 (in gift card) on their guarantee, AND refund the flash drive price on my credit card. They had a net loss of $8 on my Black Friday transaction...which again, probably says a lot about why they're going under.
