Here are the scans: http://www.bfinside.com/wmbf.pdf

My plan: stay up with minimal sleep from early morning on Thursday until early afternoon on Friday, constantly updating the site with the items that are available online for those of you who are smart enough to get your items online and avoid the madness Then sleep. For a long time. And then wake up and see how many of you free-loaders have ditched us after BF is over, never to be seen again until BF 2008, lol. On that note, seriously everyone, stick around on the site and forums after BF. We will save you more $ during the rest of the year than you could possibly ever save on BF. If you don't believe me, ask some of the regulars on here. I don't ask for much, but give us a chance the rest of the year as well. You don't have to visit as often as you do these days, but don't just forget about us

I've done a few interviews with newspapers today and have expressed how many of you are disappointed with the ads this year, so maybe the stores will find out as these stories are published and add some last-minute deals.

yes, we've had the ad for months now and were just waiting for someone to post about it seriously, as with all the ads, when we get the ads, we post them :) closing thread.

Yes, please use the official laptop thread. Thread closed.

The full ad has now been typed up :)

If we are protecting our revenues, why are we also removing ads from stores that we have no affiliate agreement with?

moving to deal discussion as this is not a deal

i am typing them up now. all done with the early bird items, now on to the rest...

scans have been uploaded :) 16 pages total

http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=82464 item listing is being added to BF site, scans will be uploaded in just a few minutes :)

i have the first half of the pages and am starting to type up the items and put them on the BF site. full scans will be posted once i have all the pages :)

The Dell deals are not that hot, evidenced by the fact that they are not doorbusters. If you pay attention on the site here, we'll have better deals between now and BF direct from Dell.

I like this part: Uh, maybe there's been rumors because you had to be a bully and threaten everyone if they posted it. And the rumors weren't really "hot" and when you see the ad, you'll know why

http://money.cnn.com/2007/11/13/news/companies/walmart_blackfridayad/index.htm Since this is a CNN story, feel free to comment on it, but again, do not post about anything not mentioned in the article. "according to sources at two Web sites that track Black Friday promotions" I have no idea who one of those sources could be...

Don't be so sure they didn't threaten employees. I'm sure pretty much all stores have their employees with early access to the ads agree to not leak it anywhere. And the Babies R Us ad has been out for a few days now, and that's the same parent company, so...

I wouldn't be surprised if it's leaked before BF. I doubt we'll receive it as it's not a BF ad, but if it gets posted elsewhere I'll bring it over here as well.

For those of you who are disappointed with the BF ads, we strongly invite you to stick around here on GD after BF is over with. Some of the hottest deals of the year are available online during the month between BF and Christmas (and there are some pretty nice deals available right now as well), and we'll be posting them as we do all the hot deals 365 days a year. So don't ditch us after BF - we promise we can save you big $ all year long! A good place to start is the Online Hot Deals forum: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2 and the main GottaDeal.com site: http://www.gottadeal.com

you know the story by now... *crickets*

another ad gone - this time it's Big Lots (can you hear the crickets? )

when we are notified of online stores having BF sales or special coupons/deals for BF, they will be posted in this forum: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forumdisplay.php?f=47

we'll see how things go. if a few days go by and lowes doesn't send any C&D's to us or other sites, then maybe i'll "upgrade" the ad placement.
