Let's give away some more of next year's t-shirts As we've told you many times, GottaDeal.com is open all year long, and there are Black Friday-level deals available all year long as well. There is no reason to leave us after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. So, to enter the contest, all you have to do is reply to this thread pledging to stick around all year. That's it. The contest will run until Sunday at 9pm ET. At that point I'll pick 5 winners at random who will receive a 2013 Black Friday t-shirt next year. Good luck!

Seems to be just trying to get attention for himself / his online "persona". Probably making some good $ from ads on his Youtube videos too...

I really doubt going through the links on this site had anything to do with it. Every promotional method Walmart uses (affiliate sites like GD, banner ads they pay for on other sites, links from the Facebook page, etc...) all have similar tracking so they know where the purchase came from and you don't even know it's being tracked. I'll send an e-mail to our affiliate rep to be sure he's not aware of anything, but I think I would have heard something if there were more widespread issues. It would have shown up on every deal/BF site out there as we all use the exact same system.

Well looks like all we're going to get is the online-only sale and a handful of ad items. Unless things change in the next few hours. Very disappointing from WM this year... I'll change the status of the sale to "started" I guess.

Sale has started: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/OnlineSale/AppleStore

prices are changing as i type this tracker: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Tracker/Staples

Nope. Probably the same as always - around 10% off iPods/iPads/some computers.

less than 2 hours...

Maybe we'll give away a few 2013 BF t-shirts in this thread later if enough people are around (and I don't fall asleep first )

So anyone plan on staying up for a few more hours or has everyone given up hope for WM this year?

could be. that coupon has been valid for a few days now. they might post a new code tomorrow.

sale has started

I still think they might put a lot of items online later tonight

Prices are changing. Here are the items we're finding at the sale prices: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Tracker/ToysRUs

60" Vizio was just in stock again for a few minutes. If you want one, keep refreshing this page: http://www.gottadeal.com/Deal/77828

Go here: http://www.gottadeal.com/Deal/77630 By the Lightning Deals, select Electronics and scroll to 6pm PST

I don't think it already started or there would be more items most likely. I'm still going with later tonight, but I was wrong before

Rather than have everyone post their own separate thread detailing their experience shopping on Thursday & Friday, we're going to do what we always do and have this one main thread. If you post your experience in a separate thread, we're either going to merge it in here or delete it, so if you want to make sure you don't do all that typing for nothing, make sure it goes in here. Thanks PS - Feel free to post what you've ordered online as well.

updated the tracker. about 90% of the sale items are online: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Tracker/OfficeMax

I got this message from one of Walmart's Marketing Managers when I asked about the items from the ad appearing online: So it's looking like the ad items will go online after midnight PST tonight.

Sale has started and 90% of the ad items are available online. http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridaySales/Store/OfficeDepot

Yep, that's the one I got almost an hour ago. They have no clue what they are doing.

this "online-only BF sale" looks like nothing more than a re-branded online-only thanksgiving day sale that they've had for the past 5+ years. it has absolutely nothing to do with the actual BF ad or the "real" BF sale. so i still think we'll see the actual ad items online, but it might not be tonight.
