Black Friday hasn't been this late (the 29th) since 2002, so it's likely that everything is going to be delayed, especially compared to last year when it was nearly an entire week earlier. I suspect we'll see some small ad this week though, but don't expect a major flood of ads until early November.

Looks like last year we posted it on the 20th, but with BF (and the start of the Toy Book sale) 6 days later this year), we probably won't have it for another 2 weeks. Hope I'm wrong though

We're getting a lot of questions about online Black Friday shopping. It's a little early to be able to give decent predictions as to when a store will put their items online or which particular items will be offered online. But rest assured, we'll cover the online dales better than anyone. In a week or so we'll open our dedicated online BF sub-forum. We also will have our great online BF tracker again this year which will have sale start times, list of ad items you can order at the sale price and much more. So for now I'm going to merge all the threads asking about this stuff into one main thread to keep the forum less cluttered. UPDATE: ONLINE BLACK FRIDAY SUBFORUM IS NOW LIVE: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forum/75-online-black-friday-sales/

A rep from F&F emailed us to say their Toyland catalog will be posted tomorrow morning.

For those who missed it, you can watch the archived video here:

Bumping this for tonight. Hoping to get enough of you to join us so we can test out the chat/comment part of the webcast.

Talked with the printer today. I can extend the ordering deadline until October 27th, but that is the absolute latest day I can take orders so plan accordingly.

Another one of our favorite t-shirt contests! Below are 3 photos from past Black Fridays. Come up with a caption for each photo and post them in this thread. Entries will be accepted until 10pm ET on Monday, October 14th. At that point, I'll choose 3 of my favorites to win Black Friday t-shirts and then (for those of you who aren't as creative, lol) I'll choose 3 more at random from all the other entries to also win shirts, so we're going to give away 6 total t-shirts for this contest! If you've already won a BF t-shirt in a previous contest this year (or late last year), you can't be selected as a winner again, but you can still feel free to post your captions. Good luck and here are the photos: PHOTO #1 http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/images/caption1.jpg PHOTO #2 http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/images/caption2.jpg PHOTO #3 http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/images/caption3.jpg http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/2013bfshirt400.jpg

The 5 randomly selected winners are: pocolachristian msyves Pepper_Mint_Tea BFQueenofNY mamat2011 Congrats and look for a PM from me soon. If anyone correctly guessed the first ad, I'll be contacting you soon after the ad is posted. Look for another contest soon.

Contest is now closed. Winners will be announced tomorrow. Look for the next contest tomorrow as well.

Feel free to start asking questions for the first webcast on the new site: http://www.blackfridaywebcast.com

I extended the deadline to order until next Sunday, October 13th. If I can extend it further I will - I just need to verify it with the printer.

Long sleeve is only available up to 2XL.

One more bump for those just joining us for this year - update those avatars!

Some of the really hot Lightning Deals on things like electronics and video game systems sell out in seconds but usually the movies have enough quantity that they are available for an extended period of time.

That could be it. And some might be choosing to send money to "family & friends" so I don't have to pay PayPal fees on the $, haha

http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/gd10logo250.gif GottaDeal.com Decade of Deals Giveaway To celebrate our 10th year covering Black Friday and our 10th Anniversary on January 1st, we are having the GottaDeal.com Decade of Deals Giveaway! The contest will run for 10 weeks. You can earn up to 10 entries per day. We'll be giving away 10 great prizes at the end of the contest. HOW IT WORKS During the contest we are going to award giveaway entries to forum members who post new deal threads in the Online Hot Deals forum. You'll earn one entry for each deal you post each day up to a maximum of 5 entries per day. Of course you can post more than 5 deals in a day, but you won't earn any additional entries for posting more than 5. Now I said you could earn up to 10 entries per day. What about the other 5? To encourage you to post the best possible deals, if any of your deals gets at least 300 views before the end of the contest, you'll earn double entries for that deal. So you can earn up to 10 total entries per day if all 5 of your deals gets 300 views each. If you post more than 5 deals in a day, we'll look at the 5 deals with the most views when awarding these bonus entries. This contest runs for exactly 10 weeks, so you can earn a maximum of 700 entries (70 days x 10 entries) but it only takes one entry to win. At the end of the contest, we'll randomly select 10 entries to win the 10 prizes listed below. The member with the first entry chosen will receive the first prize listed, and so on. Limit one prize per member - once one of your entries has been selected, your remaining entries will be removed.

The post must contain a link, even if it's just a link to the retailer's home page. This is very important. The deal must be unique and can not be a repost of a recently posted deal on the forum. Deals posted in "master threads" such as the Amazon Toy Thread will not earn entries for this contest.We reserve the right to disqualify any deal for any reason. Besides these mandatory criteria, we also ask that you be as descriptive as possible in your thread title. If there is a specific method to get the deal, provide step-by-step instructions. If a coupon code is needed, be sure to include the code in your post. Please do not directly copy and paste deals from other sites - you may "borrow" the deal, but type the title and post in your own words. Feel free to PM me with any questions you have about the contest. Good luck to everyone!

Welcome to the Online Deals forum. Below you will find some general rules and tips to help you become a successful deal contributor to this forum. Forum-wide rules that need to be followed by everyone are listed here. What information should you include in a deal thread? Try to include as much detail as possible in the title, including the sale price as well as the name of the site. You have a limited amount of space, so try to be creative. Expand on the deal information in your post. General info to provide: expiration date of the coupon or deal, minimum purchase requirements, site link, shipping costs, and the coupon code(s) (if needed). The more information you include, the better. Always search first! Prior to posting, please use the search feature in the upper right portion of the page to see if your contribution has already been posted. Choose one or two keywords from your deal. If looking for The Princess Bride DVD, searching for the words "princess bride" in the search box should return any similar deals. What kind of deals should I post? Please keep in mind that simply copying/pasting "regular" sales or items priced at or very close to what every store sells them for aren't usually considered "legit" deals. Get a feel by searching through the forum of what are good prices for the items, and only post if it is cheaper than the going price on most other sites. If you find a deal on another deal site, it's OK to borrow the deal, but do not directly copy and paste it - put the title and description in your own words. Find a repost or a spam post? Use the Report link in the ... drop-down menu of the original post that is a problem; explain the problem with the post and a moderator will take care of it. Keep in mind that if you accidentally repost a deal that has already been posted, the moderators will likely remove your post or merge it with the original deal. Where to post? Deal requests and questions belong in the Deal Finder & Deal Discussion sub-forum. Deals that are free belong in the Freebies & Free Offers sub-forum. Deals that are at brick and mortar stores (not online) belong in the Offline Hot Deals sub-forum. Deals that are online deals belong in the Online Hot Deals forum that you are in right now. Self-promotion & referral links are not allowed! Referrals are not allowed. This includes posting of referral links, asking for a referral, PMing referrals, having a referral link in your signature, or linking to any & all sites that contain referrals. It doesn't matter what kind of referral it is This is a zero tolerance policy, any post found to contain such a link will be removed and it is under the admin’s discretion to remove your membership to the forums. Do not promote your own e-commerce site or Amazon products. If you do this, you will be banned, your IP will be banned and your information will be submitted to industry-wide spam databases preventing you from spamming other forums.

Just want to remind you all to include your shipping address with your payment in case Paypal doesn't include it. I've had 3 orders this afternoon which had no address information, so if you placed an order today, check your e-mail to see if I still need any info from you. Thanks

Yep

This will be the only color. It just gets too confusing to have multiple colors. I'm pressing my luck with the long/short sleeve option this year, lol. The more options and variables involved, the more likely I'll screw up when packaging/shipping orders, haha.
