Dev announced last night on the webcast that he wouldn't be in line at BB this year.

As those of you who've been around for past years know, the week of Black Friday we have a listing of all the Black Friday ad items that can be ordered online at the Black Friday ad prices at any given point in time. Of course those listings don't update themselves (believe me, we've tried, but it's not reliable enough), so we always use a small army of forum members who will have free time during the week to update these items and help everyone out. So this is a call for those helpers. If you are selected to help, you'll be assigned one or more stores that we have a Black Friday ad for and it will be your responsibility to check each item we have linked on the site and check a box if that item is in stock and available online at the sale price (or less). Not much experience needed - you need to know how to click a link to a product, verify the price and availability, and check or uncheck a box for that item, and then repeat for the entire ad for whatever store(s) you are assigned. You should be available to help the majority of the time from Tuesday night through Friday morning, depending on your store(s). If you can help most but not all of those days, let me know and we can match you up with someone else to tag team those store(s). These are volunteer spots, but anyone who helps out will get something for their help, likely a gift card. You'll also be helping out the huge number of shoppers who will visit the site that week. So if you are interested, please send me a PM and let me know your general availability for those days and I'll let you know if you've been chosen to help out and give you instructions and your assigned stores. Thanks And for those of you who can't help with this task but still want to help us, PLEASE spread the word about the Black Friday site to everyone you know - in person, on your Facebook page, Twitter account, other forums and web sites. Contact your local newspaper and TV stations - whatever you can do to help would be greatly appreciated! We don't ask for much, but we'd really love your help to get the word out.

Started packaging and labeling shirts. Ran out of postage labels (more are coming tomorrow) but I have the first few batches done, so if you have only one small or one medium short-sleeve shirt coming, yours is ready to ship

Just got the t-shirts. Here's a pic of the first opened box.

Crazy to think that at this point last year (2 weeks before BF), we just got Kohl's ad and still didn't have ads from Target, Toys R Us, Lowe's, Home Depot, CVS, Staples, Wagreens, GameStop, Old Navy and a lot of others. The ads definitely came out earlier this year.

This is the final Black Friday t-shirt contest (we have to make sure you get them in time for Black Friday). HOW TO WIN: Let's say you were given $1,000 to buy anything in any of the posted Black Friday ads. What would you buy? Reply to this thread with the store, item name and price for each item you'd buy. Make sure you don't spend over $1,000 total (but don't worry about tax) You can view the current ads w/ prices here: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com Feel free to use items from any store, including stores which we post ads from between now and the end of the contest. Limit one entry per member. Entries will be accepted until 9am ET on Monday, November 18th. At that point I'll randomly choose 10 entries and those members will receive Black Friday t-shirts. As always, if you've won one of this year's shirts, you aren't eligible to win another. Good luck to all!

We won't know that until next week at the earliest. They don't send us that info until about a week beforehand. It's a good bet that it will though.

Old Navy is off the list
