They usually put some of the items online as well. Our Kmart.com affiliate rep normally e-mails us a list of which ad items will be online a few days before the sale, so we'll hopefully know earlier that week.
someone sent this to me: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/images/circuit-city-doorbusters.pdf no prices, but these are supposedly some of the CC doorbuster items again, these are rumors for now :)
the ad has not been leaked. kbtoys had their lawyers send letters to several sites threatening legal action if their ad was posted, but it is not out yet.
That's typically what happens once we get to around 11/10 or so. Sometimes we get sent so many in one day that we can't get them all typed up and they end up getting spread out too.
ok, task #4 completed.
contest over.
winners will receive PMs later tonight
and to stop any further discussion of what is considered a landmark, this thread is now closed!
