http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=15792

I just got done uploading the Kmart "early bird" and full Radio Shack BF ad scans. To make things easiers, we're putting links to all the scans (in ZIP and PDF formats) in one thread instead of making you search for them. This thread is stickied at the top of the BF forum, and you can get to it here: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=15792

KMart BF "early bird" ad items posted on the BF site - see OP for a link :)

More items have been posted on the BF site. This is now the complete ad. All those hundreds of items that weren't on the first page of the scans were not in the ad (as we suspected). Items will be linked tomorrow and a few items are online-only so you'll be able to check out the details online soon :)

There is no brand listed. It could be like some items where there are multiple brands depending on how many WM can get their hands on and some stores might have different brands. It's obviously not going to be the highest quality plasma out there, but the price can't be beat.

We have another GottaDeal.com-exclusive scan of the front page of a Walmart Black Friday ad showing a plasma TV for just $997. This ad looks very similar to the ad we first posted weeks ago, but in this version the plasma TV replaces the 15-inch LCD TV which appeared on the other ad. We have reason to believe that this plasma TV may only be offered in specific markets, which is why there is more than one version of the ad. Even better news, however is that the plasma TV also shows as being available on WalMart.com. So if your market does not have it in the ad, you can still have a chance of picking one up. If you would like to be notified when it becomes available to order, make sure you have added it to your Shopping List and you'll be the first to know. Note that this likely is NOT an HD or HD-ready plasma, but is probably an EDTV similar to the one CompUSA has in their ad for $300 more, but as far as prices go, it's as low as we've seen. Here is the scan: http://www.blackfridaysaleads.com/images/scans/plasma.gif

Well it's here now, so if you forget, we'll still have it, lol. Plus the suggestion thread will be posted very soon so it shouldn't be too hard to remember until then

Yes, remember that for next year. In fact we are going to have a "2006 Suggestions" thread in the BF forum very soon (before everyone leaves) so we can get some ideas to make next years site even better :)

http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=17310 6 days ago :) And it's back but $90 more

Back in stock but $100 more, so it's $1099 - $110 = $989 shipped - still better than CompUSA's $999 after rebate price on BF

We had a deal last week for the same Syntax for $899 shipped from Target.com with no rebates. Actually, most of Syntax's rebates are only for specific stores. The stores seem to rotate each few weeks, so I think this rebate is CUSA-only.

Items will be linked as soon as possible.

OK, I'm done adding almost 300 items to the database. I might have missed a few of the smaller things, but that's all I'm doing now. My fingers hurt The more popular items will be linked to the CompUSA web site soon.

Not-so-great deals + midnight opening (when most people are sleeping or waiting for other stores to open) could mean low sales.

The prices I am posting on the Black Friday site do not require any AOL signup to get it at that price. Also one one of the pages it says: "Not all products are available in all stores, but they are available online" so you might have good luck for some items online

As I type these up, I'm also really unimpressed. For so many I'm thinking "you can get that cheaper online right now". I'm sure there will be a few deals, but those stupid AOL rebates really kill any of the good deals. Might as well advertise things like; 42" Plasma HDTV - $9.99* *$2999.99 - $2990.00 that you borrowed from your dad = $9.99 final price

Items are being added to the database one page at a time. Once they've been all added I'll start linking them :)

Yep, that's a big let down. And it's kind of shady for them to put the after-rebate prices so big in the ad. I'll be including the "real" prices when I add them to the database

CompUSA Ad Scans have been released :) Items will be added to the database on the BF site shortly for you to add to your shopping list. I'm typing them up and linking them to CompUSA.com right now. >>> Download Link The scans are in a .zip file (around 5.5MB). We suggest you save the file to your hard drive just in case we are forced to remove the ads later for whatever reason. Can't open the zip? Try this PDF version instead. Also, keep in mind that in order to save bandwidth, provide an exclusive benefit to you, our members, and to prevent hotlinking, you need to click on the link from this site in order to access the file. If you post the URL on another site, they will just be redirected to our BF home page where they can register for the forum to access the ad. If you need instructions on how to download and open the file, check out the instructions and demos in the WalMart ad scan thread.

Scans are out. We'll have them shortly :)

Best Buy is a week from today, and Target is 12/13. The day we give them away is listed in the GP store.
