You can also try this: 1. go here 2. in the search box at the top, search for bqdaiad 3. click on the Vostro 1000 link 4. click buy now 5. click add to cart 6. when in cart, enter coupon code RH23N?MWL3KF1C 7. price should be $399 the only issue is doing it that way gives you the slightly lesser AMD Sempron processor instead of the Athlon. once they update the special e-value code in the original link, it should have the Athlon, but if you just want a $399 laptop, the steps above should work.

Yep. They usually create a special e-value code for these limited time deals, and the link in the original post goes to that e-value code. the only thing we are waiting for is for them to actually load the laptop into the system so it'll show up.

No, the coupon code is supposed to only be good for this single configuration today only (once it appears on the site).

This was in an e-mail sent to all Dell affiliates. It stated 6am Central. This is their main promotion for BF, so I'm confident they just haven't "flipped the switch" and turned on the deal yet. I'm sure they have a large quantity of these available today, so just be patient and keep trying. If I hear anything else I'll let you all know.

I don't think the deal has officially started yet. Be patient with this one. As with most of these online BF sales, the time somethiing is supposed to start and the time it actually does don't always match....

Here it is:

It was supposed to start at 6am ET.

$1.00 authorizations are common for online orders - don't worry about that at all.

I wouldn't worry too much about order status at this point with their system the way it is. And don't call customer service or you'll get all of our early orders cancelled because they were not supposed to start yet, lol

Nope, Walmart.com never has any kind of coupons like that. Nice try though

I just went through the list again to update: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Online/WalMart In the first few minutes, the $398 desktop, the girls bike, the shop-vac and the Stanley tool chest have sold out.

all i have to say is those people who believed staples when they said they were opening at 6am and went to sleep are going to be pretty mad when they wake up and the good stuff is gone

just was able to place an order :) just keep refreshing and you'll get it

1. Go here: http://www.gottadeal.com/Deal/21628 2. Keep refreshing the page until the sale loads You may have to keep refreshing each page you want to view until it loads, but it will load :)

Keep in mind if shipping charges are high, a lot of the items qualify for FREE Site-to-Store shipping, where you order and they just ship it to your nearest store for you to pick up. I think I read that around one third of their online orders use site-to-store shipping now.

http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Online/WalMart I'm keeping the list updated

Thanks for the update. I have no idea why they do it that way. I've been checking those links every few minutes, lol.

FYI, I just got done updating the list of items still online as best I could: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Online/CompUSA They are now back to their normal free shipping on $150+ purchases only, so last night was the night to get the cheaper items.

Every communication we've received has said 6am ET, so go with that.

if you have a laptop, just go outside with it and you'll get the same effect
