By Anne B. McDonald, PCWorld Nov 10, 2008 4:50 PM

What do you know about managing a Black Friday shopping experience? I'm editing a story on the how to get a grip on this shop-a-palooza.

Do you have any insights that would help the rest of us score big tech bargains on Nov. 28? Please share them with us. Your input would make this a better story.

Also wanted: Good tips, tricks, advice, sites or blogs that can make tech shopping on the day after Thanksgiving easier.

Do you have any success or horror stories from other years that might save other shoppers some grief?

Is it worth is to go out on Nov. 28 at all?

We would really appreciate your comments/advice to help make this article better.

Thanks, fellow bargain hunters!
