http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Sales/Store/walgreens Thanks to sbhiggins who posted them in this thread. There are only 25 items now, but we expect more items to be added in the coming days. You can begin adding them to your shopping lists now.

We are going to post these on the main BF site, but we assume there will be more items added in the coming days/weeks :)

There is no way to know if it's legit. I don't see anything about it that would make it seem fake, but we'll probably wait before adding anything officially.

We randomly picked one participant from tonight's chat to win a GottaDeal t-shirt and tonights winner is ebony0421! Congrats! Be sure to join us next week for our next BF chat :)

Over 60 Harbor Freight Tools BF sale ad items have been added to the BF site database. You can view the list here: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Sales/Store/harborfreight Click Here for a Zipped Version of this ad! NEW: Click Here for a PDF Version of this ad!

If it's not on the list it's because (like you) we couldn't tell what it was or find it on Walmart's web site. Once we get a better copy of the ad we'll be able to add it to the list :)

OK, as long as I know that some got it. I'll check it out later to make sure it's working. Closing this thread...

Hmmm. I wonder if the spam filter caught it for me. We might have to word these differently so they don't have "ads" in the title or something.

Just wondering if those of you on the mailing list got the e-mail this morning about the new WM scans? I have a few e-mail addresses on the list and they did not get the message so I'm wondering if something isn't working. So if you are on the mailing list, let me know if you got it :)

We are happy to be the first to provide you with some photos of the main WalMart BF ad. These photos are not high quality, so it's a little hard seeing what each item is. We hope to have a better quality scan of the ad in the next few weeks. This is the regular, non-"early bird" ad. You can download it here: >>> Download Link The photos are in a .zip file. We suggest you save the file to your hard drive just in case we are forced to remove the ads later for whatever reason. NEW: Click Here for a PDF Version of this ad! 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. Many items in this ad are already in the BF database on the main BF site. We'd like to thank DeviousTrap of Telnap Internet Services for creating these flash demos which will help you save and open the scans: How to right click Save Target As... http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y241/Honeybee_au/savetargetas.jpg How to unzip the compressed file, the scanned ads will be inside the folder gottadeal_walmart_bf_2 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y241/Honeybee_au/extractall.jpg

You can pretty much be guaranteed that Best Buy, Circuit City and CompUSA will all have at least one really cheap latpop.

one more bump - a few hours to go :)

Yep, we'll have those tomorrow. We wanted to do the server upgrade first before we bring all that traffic here.

You can get the RAZR for free after rebate right now with a free Bluetooth headset (choose either Cingular or T-Mobile): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/580743 Much better deal than Walmart will have.

LOL. We planned it like that. This was "turn back the clock" day on the forum. Experience what it would have been like in 1998

For some reason that menu we had at the bottom of every forum page listing the latest 20 deals on GD was causing the slowdown. I still have no idea why it was causing a problem today as we've had that menu there since we upgraded the forums and we had twice as much traffic last week without seeing a problem. We haven't touched it since then but for some reason today it started acting up but luckily I was able to figure it out :) Still scheduled to move servers later tonight :)

Thank you Marcster. That's what I'm experiencing as well.

Back to the topic.... Try the main GD site or the BF site and see if you are getting the slow 5+ second page load times and it if seems crawling, or if it's just the forum.

We're going to submit a ticket and have it looked at.

Yeah I noticed that as well. Page load times are 5+ seconds for some reason. The server load is not high, so there must be something else going on - possibly with the network.

bump for tonights downtime

Exactly, there is nothing wrong with sharing the info. In the past sites have claimed they had the ads first when they didn't which is why the watermarking started as a way to "prove" who had it. Every year there are more and more BF sites that pop up. Some have good intentions of being a "mirror" of the info in case other sites are down, while others do it only to make money from ads. Here at GD we do it because we've been BF shoppers for a long time and it's just fun to do this thing every year, but also because it's the perfect way to let a lot of people know that we have this forum and main GD site that's open 365 days a year and you can find great deals at any time, not just during BF. Last year was the first year the BF site was on GD (it was on one of my other sites before that) and many of our currrent forum "regulars" found us because of the BF site last year, so that made it all worth it and we hope many of you who have just found the site will stick around after BF :)
