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.

If I had to guess (and this is just a guess), they will do this lackluster online-only BF sale tomorrow and then put the actual BF ad items online either during the day tomorrow or tomorrow night at midnight PST like they do every other year.

they just sent out an e-mail to their mailing list with online-only deals: http://www.walmart.com/cp/1100064

can someone post links to the better deals in this thread so i can make sure i have them in the tracker?

updating the tracker with the items you can buy: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Tracker/Target (will take some time to go through them all)

Oh I know, believe me. I just want them to update their site soon. I'd like to get at least a couple hours of sleep before Kmart, Cabela's, OfficeMax and OfficeDepot go online (hopefully) in 3-4 hours and I have to get up again.

I have to keep pushing it back otherwise it'll say "sale started" and people will complain. i'm at the mercy of WM (and Target) just like you all.

Just make your purchases through the links on the site and that's more than enough thanks for me

Guess all those who said no doorbusters online were proved wrong again

It was briefly available before the rest of the sale went live.

The tracker is automated based on what BB (and other stores) have told us. Don't shoot the messenger...
