That wasn't a forum contest and all we have is real names so for privacy reasons we didn't post winners. All winners were contacted however.

Online Black Friday sales sub-forum is now live: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forum/75-online-black-friday-sales/ Please continue all online BF discussion there.

Also, remember that this is a very popular sub-forum, but it's useless if we have to close the forum because of server load. So PLEASE do not constantly refresh threads every few seconds. This really is only an issue when the items go on sale (late Wednesday/Thursday nights), but take it easy on the server. Thanks.

Also, we've had similar threads the last 4 years, so if you want to check those threads out to see what questions were asked and answered, see here: 2012: http://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/173314-questions-about-online-black-friday-shopping-post-here/ 2011: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?239067-Questions-About-Online-Black-Friday-Shopping-Post-Here! 2010: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?190879-Questions-About-Online-Black-Friday-Shopping-Post-Here 2009: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?158372-Questions-about-online-Black-Friday-shopping-Post-them-in-here

Best Buy usually starts their Black Friday sale online late Wednesday night / early Thursday morning. We expect the same this year as the sale should start around 1am EST.
