By popular demand, I have decided to go ahead with ordering hooded sweatshirts, assuming there is enough demand. It is very important that you read this entire post before doing anything. 1. These sweatshirts are available by preordering only. I am only going to order enough to send to those who have paid for them ahead of time. 2. The only way to pay for one will be through PayPal. No cash, no checks, no money orders. If you don't have a PayPal account, sign up for one or find someone you know that has one. 3. Hooded sweatshirts will not be made available in the GottaPoints store. 4. Pricing is as follows: Sizes S thorugh XL: $23.00, Size XXL: $24.00, Size XXXL: $25.00. Prices include shipping via USPS Priority Mail. 5. DEADLINE EXTENDED! Preorders will be taken until midnight PT on October 30th. This will allow enough time for the sweatshirts to be ordered, shipped to me and shipped to you by Black Friday. 6. There is no limit on the number of sweatshirts you may preorder. There are no quantity discounts for ordering more than one. 7. To preorder, send your PayPal payment to [email protected] for the appropriate amount for the shirt size(s) you are ordering. 8. In the "comments/notes" section of your payment, include your forum username as well as what size(s) you are ordering. Payments received without this information will be refunded immediately. 9. If I do not receive enough preorders by 10/28 to justify placing an order, all payments will be refunded at that time. 10. There are no exceptions to these policies. However if you have a question about something that was not covered, please PM me. --- As with the t-shirts, the cost for these is pretty much my cost for ordering them, shipping them to me and then shipping them to you. I don't make any $ on these (and probably lose money with PayPal fees). These are heavyweight sweatshirts with front pockets (similar to this). To keep costs down, the sweatshirts will be the same color and have the same design as the current t-shirts have - a dark ash (grey) color with the "collegiate" style design: http://www.olsonnet.com/images/tshirt3.jpg

See here for BF lists from the past 3 years: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=47429 They should give you a good idea of what kinds of deals are available at various stores.

Here is the Logitech model that many GDers use: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-980356-0403-Stereo-USB-Headset/dp/B0007ZFM38/sr=8-1/qid=1160376927/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-5822161-2796625?ie=UTF8&s=electronics $25.85 with free shipping at Amazon. That's currently the lowest price on PriceGrabber: http://gottadeal.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php?masterid=7785846&search=980356-0403

I realize that we haven't been very clear, so here's an attempt at being better at that: The intention behind creating this subforum was to give active members a place to share, give, trade, and ask for the kinds of things that used to take place in signatures back when we had them, to give these things a place they no longer had. By "these things" I mean things like one-time store discount codes, exceptional coupons (such as those for free pet food or double-digits off cosmetics), or Coke codes. Somehow though, it this subforum had started to go directions that we did not intend or want - this is not a surrogate eBay or a coupon-trading/post-everything-in-my-coupon-box forum. As we frequently explain, GottaDeal is first a business. Signficant portions of the site we have created to provide a community for members that do not generate income, but do all take resources, both server- and moderator-wise. So, in summary, this is to share with other active members things that are low in value (nothing worth $100s) and unusual (not common coupons). I hope that this has helped. However, as we also frequently have to find ourselves saying, decisions about the Board are at the discretion of the Admins and Moderators, so this is closed for discussion. If you feel the need to raise any other issues about this, please PM me - do NOT start a new thread to discuss this.

The shopping list feature is not available until there are actual ads out. Closing thread.

Children's Place Coupon code HMAA6 Valid through Sunday, October 29th for 15% off any purchase (no minimum).

It's likely from here: http://www.wndu.com/news/consumer/102006/consumer_52994.php Just that PCMike story being syndicated to local affiliates.

Per the updated forum policies, please do not post threads looking to trade "regular" grocery coupons in this forum. This is not a coupon trading forum. Thank you for your cooperation :)

This is already being discussed in the Wal-Mart BF sub-forum: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=48769 and we don't need yet another thread about it. Closing thread.

T-shirt ordering information: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=42100 Sizes small through 2XL are currently available.

yes it's a scam.

Actually I think the story is in today's paper (was just posted on the web site yesterday) so you could still go out and get one (and an extra one for me )

There are many ways that you can help us spread the word about GottaDeal and let others know that we have the best Black Friday site around. Some ideas: 1. Contact your local media. Tell them a little bit about the site, tell them how much you like it and that you think it would be a good subject for a story. You can send them to our Press Room page which has links for them to contact us to set up an interview or to get access to more background information. 2. Post about the site being open on other web sites and message boards that you belong to. Be sure that this would not be considered spamming before you do it, but if you know it's OK to do so, that can help us a lot. We've already seen a few of you posting about it elsewhere, and that has helped us continue to bring in the new members. 3. Tell people you know. Word of mouth is also a good way to help out. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, etc. If you have your own web site, feel free to post a link on it. Also, keep in mind that you can earn GottaPoints for referring people to the forum and getting them to register. To get your personalized referral link, go to your User Control Panel and your referral link will be displayed for you to copy and paste elsewhere. If you have any questions, or have other suggestions for ways to promote the site, please reply to this thread. Please keep all replies directly related to this topic. Off-topic replies will be deleted.

I'll be posting a thread in the "BF Basics" forum shortly that will have ways you can spread the word. I'll post a link in this thread when it's done as well.

If you signed up last year, then you are still on the list for this year (although if you want to make sure, you can enter your e-mail address again, and if it's a duplicate you'll still only receive one message each time :) )
