There are not too many deals that I would venture out at 5:00 am on Black Friday for. Talk about mayhem!
If that's all you went there for, then it's not a good deal. This for people who go to stores on BF. Also:
  • not all states have a sales tax
  • some states charge sales tax on Amazon purchases
  • some states haves a sales tax low enough to make it worthwhile
