Maybe we can get CNN to shoot the webcast

Good question. I heard rumors of a crazy guy in TX already set up at a BB this morning, and something about CNN filming the whole thing....

There wasn't a 30% off last year. There was 15% and 20% though. Here was last year's thread: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?190892-Kohls.com-Black-Friday-Sale-Now-Online!

nice job

Most likely in the $199-249 range.

An update on online-related stuff: First, we have an article with a few tips posted here: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/OnlineTips Next, our Online Black Friday tracker will officially launch over the weekend, although it's up and running already (link is in the article I just mentioned) Finally, the Online Black Friday sub-forum will open over the weekend as well. So within 48 hours, we'll be officially ready for the online sales to start next week. There will also be plenty of online-related talk during tomorrow's webcast.

Heard yesterday that Walmart's online sales are down pretty significantly this month. They don't have the deals places like Amazon/Best Buy have had. And the lack of Saturday sales this year has likely hurt in-store sales too.

Quite simply, you won't know until next week when the sale starts. There have been "in store only" items in past BF ads that have been available online. Never let what is printed in the ad stop you from checking when the time comes and the sale goes live.

This will definitely help with BF. Even if your electronics items are under $45, chances are you can find other qualifying items from their other categories to get up to the threshold. Not quite Best Buy's free shipping on everything, but better than past years with WM...

All shirts that I have addresses for have shipped. if you won a shirt and haven't replied to my PM, you are risking not getting it in time...

That's going to hurt your rental service

No, you won't know which items. You might have a good idea if the ad says "also available online" or something like that, but even that isn't any kind of guarantee as they might have 2 in stock that sell out in 3 seconds. We know which stores typically but most of their ad online, but for individual items, there is no way to be 100% certain. As for times, we're making a schedule. It's tough to get responses and very few ads actually mention a time or time zone, but we're working on it. Give it a few more days and we'll officially release something.

They are a Best Buy brand, so it's not like they are going to steal your money. Customer service might be another issue though.

That fact that you have an @yahoo.com e-mail address might be the issue. For some reason Yahoo is not delivering a lot of messages sent from the forum (PM notifications, new account confirmations, subscription e-mails). Maybe check your spam folder or see if you can add forums(at)gottadeal(dot)com to your "safe senders" list if Yahoo has such a thing.
