Black Thursday

Ali Shah and Andrew Kim have been second in line for Best Buy's Black Thursday (Gray Thursday?) 6 pm opening since Tuesday, although they are part of a crew of eight that had been taking shifts holding down the fort. The Mountlake Terrace seniors say they are each hoping to buy TVs, Xboxes, laptops, and tablets. "Xbox...es?" I ask, and they confirm that they will be trying to purchase multiples of each item to resell at a higher price.
