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)

I was just as nice. We're great, magnanimous people.

It's in stock (as of now) on Walmart.com: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Madden2011Wii/13437068

For those who are sticking around (which should be all of you), we have plenty of our regular non-BF GD t-shirts to give away: http://gottadeal.com/images/shirt.gif along with plenty of other GD merchandise (much of it brand new items that we haven't given away yet)

just updated the tracker (likely for the last time). lots of stuff sold out, but still some deals available: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Online/WalMart

looks like a lot of items that were OOS earlier today are back in stock. our tracker (updated as of 10 minutes ago): http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Online/BestBuy

Some want lighter, some wan't heavier, some want sweatshirts, some want long-sleeves, some want the design on the back lower so their hair doesn't cover it. Maybe we just won't have them at all next year

don't get your hopes up for cyber monday, most of the sales won't be at the level of the BF sales and will just be similar to the pre-BF deals that the sites have been having. cyber monday is 90% hype by the retailers. the deals rarely match what we've seen the past 2 days.

We did the one-day onle sale for them this year which worked out well, but I don't want to continually let them be for sale as it creates a lot of extra work for me when I'm supposed to be running the site. The one-day sale wasn't that bad as I knew after that day how many shirts were sold and could do them all at once and not have it be an ongoing chore to check orders/package/ship them. The local place I got the shirts from sells their own shirts and ships them for reasonable prices, so I'm going to talk with them to see if maybe we can work something out where they'd sell the shirts and handle the order processing/shipping so I don't have to.

They never advertised free shipping on everything - the promotion was something to the effect of "free shipping on nearly 60,000 items". It's worth a shot to call them (it can't hurt), but by no means is it false advertising.

We're going to do this slightly different this year. Rather than have a dedicated sub-forum just for Cyber Monday, we're going to put all the Cyber Monday deals in our main Online Hot Deals year-round sub-forum. That way there will be only one forum that you need to check on Monday to get all the online deals, both the ones we post and the ones all of you post, as there will likely be a lot of deals. We'll also be posting the best Cyber Monday deals on our main year-round GottaDeal.com home page, and we'll start to redirect visitors going to the Black Friday site to the main GD home page on Sunday. As many of you know, Cyber Monday is frequently lots of hype and very little substance, so don't get your hopes up for amazing Black Friday-level deals from every web site out there.

Back OOS. That was quick.

tracker updated again: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Online/WalMart many things now out of stock...

updated tracker for the 3rd time: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Online/WalMart it might not be updated as often for the next few hours as someone needs a couple hours of sleep

Walmart appears to have done a good job of getting the vast majority of their ad items online, and many with free or cheap shipping. Just updated the tracker again: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Online/WalMart Please go through links on this site when ordering to help us out :) http://www.walmart.com
