They must have had a limited number of offers with the $100. Could always come back, but don't bet on it.

OK, here are the winners, in the order they were picked. Look for a PM from me shortly with information on prize selection. 1st place: elite2058 2nd place: bluesky225 3rd place: magickallight 4th place: Illinoismom 5th place: Rockfordmom 6th place: noehlp 7th place: Stowasser 8th place: Fishboysmom 9th place: Scanner420 10th place: KoopawnKode 11th place: 1josh 12th place: hack2222 13th place: tinkrbel 14th place: eve 15th place: Silverstreak24 Congrats to the winners and thanks to everyone who posted a deal for making this one of, if not, our most successful contests ever. For everyone who didn't win this time, the next contest has started and with BF season over, the competition for prizes should be a little less :)

There were quite a few other members (over 100 I believe) that posted deals that didn't qualify (retailer wasn't on the list, etc...). I think still this contest had the most members earning entries though.

Contest is now over. We'll start the drawing soon and post the results. The next contest has also started. Details here: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?194873-GottaDeal.com-Winter-Giveaway-Post-Deals-amp-Win-Gift-Cards!-ends-2-6-11 FYI, according to our records there were 5,233 entires earned during this contest by 244 different members.

Moved to Deal Discussion forum

Not right now. We might do a limited time sale like we did with the BF t-shirts. Stay tuned as we'll announce it several days in advance.

It looks similar to the one in this pic, but it's black and has the BF site name / slogan on it: http://gottadeal.com/images/merch/newmerch.jpg We have a bunch of the non-BF GD ones to give away in future contests (along with the other stuff in the pic and some new stuff I just ordered)

If you order and have problems, send me a PM and I can always contact our Wirefly affiliate rep and they can probably make things right.

here's the scan. i thought i was done posting scans for the year, lol

Some reviews if you haven't seen this page: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Wirefly I'd have no problems buying from them. What were the problems you read about?

There are always a long list of brands excluded from these discounts. Same with all their other sites - Sports Authority/Modells/TeamStore/FogDog/etc...

would be nice if they just came out with the truth and said it was a price mistake. no doubt it'll probably be back in stock in a day or two at the regular price.

Walmart.com Cyber Week Specials

Mr. Jim is such a big star, I think we'll need to get 8x10 glossys for him to sign next year and send with each t-shirt given away

A few of the sales have started. We have details on our home page: http://www.gottadeal.com The online hot deals forum will also have many CM deals over the next 2 days: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forumdisplay.php?2-Online-Hot-Deals Walmart's Cyber Week sale will likely start right after midnight PST tonight.

Sure. Get yourself some blank t-shirts and a couple markers and go nuts

The webcast is now over. Thanks to bigjimslade for running these this year. I think everyone who participated will agree that they were a big success and should definitely return bigger and better next year :)

webcast has just started: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/black-friday-live

just a bump. a little over 2 hours until the webcast starts. join us for bigjimslade's BF report. i hear the cops were called...

Also, today the threads from the Online Black Friday Sales sub-forum were moved to the appropriate store-specific sub-forums for any continuing discussion.

yep, exact same shirt

maybe i'll give away the first black friday 2011 t-shirt during the chat (you won't receive it until next year though)
