  1. Prize club prizes have been shipped 🙂

     

    They were shipped first class mail and after reading the very confusing USPS guidelines I'm still not 100% sure if the packages qualify for that level of service or if I was supposed to pay 3x the cost for a higher level so if any of you get a package with postage due and you want me to reimburse you, just send me a PM. Hopefully it's not an issue.

    DISCUSS BLACK FRIDAY &

    WIN A PLAYSTATION 5!

     

    We're celebrating our 20th year covering Black Friday here on GottaDEAL with a big contest! Here's how it works:

    Through Monday, December 4th (at 11:59:59pm EST), you'll earn one entry into the contest every time you post in one of the Black Friday-related forums including this main Black Friday Discussion forum and the Sale & Ad Discussion sub-forum.

    As usual we're not going to require your posts to be a certain length to qualify or anything like that - we just want a lot of great discussion. We know there are times when a one-word reply is fine. All posts in nearly all threads in these forums will count, including other contest threads. However, posts in the GD Prize Club threads will not count.

    Be aware that it's pretty obvious if someone is attempting to "game the system" by posting repeatedly to get more entries. If that happens, we will give you a single warning via PM. If we see the behavior continuing, you will be disqualified from winning a prize.

    This includes posting multiple times in a row in a single thread when one post would be enough, replying to many threads with nothing but "thanks!", etc. It'll be obvious if anyone does this, so don't do it. There is plenty to discuss without having to cheat to earn additional entries.

    So create interesting threads, reply to other members' questions, give your opinions on everything that is being discussed. This is a discussion board - let's have some interesting discussion here!

    On Tuesday, December 5th we will randomly select one lucky winner from all eligible entries and you will win a brand new Sony PlayStation 5 Disc Edition Console.

    Prize must be claimed by replying to the winner notification PM here on the forum by January 31, 2024 or prize will be forfeited.
     
    And as a benefit to those who were here early this year, all the posts in the forums up until now (again, aside from the prize club thread) will also count towards this contest.

    If you have any questions, feel free to PM me and I'll be happy to answer them.

  5. As I do every year after Labor Day I've opened the various sub-forums here to unofficially start our coverage of the Black Friday & holiday shopping season.

     

    As Black Friday itself becomes less and less significant we're going to continue with the "Sale & Ad Discussion" forum having threads not only for Black Friday ads but also for many of the additional sales and catalogs that get posted on the site, whether they take place on Black Friday or not.

  6. For those who are unaware we have a GottaDEAL server on Discord for everyone to chat about Black Friday, deals or whatever else comes up.

    Here's the invite link: https://discord.gg/3hd2K5t

    If you're unfamiliar with Discord, it is a free text and voice chat service. You can access it via their dedicated apps for phones or tablets, or through a traditional web browser. Once you sign up for an account you can join the GD server using the special invite link above and can chat with everyone else who has signed up.

    One advantage of using Discord over the old forum chat function is that you can view past conversation in the channels and not just what is happening while you are there so can come and go as frequently as you want without missing anything.

    Currently there are #general and #tech channels for more off-topic chat and the main #blackfriday channel for discussing Black Friday. There's also a #contest channel that we'll use for some giveaways over the next few months and a #deals channel where we'll be posting some of the hottest deals, in-stock alerts for hot items, preorder opportunities and more.

    We have well over 1,000 members so far and we're hoping to do even more with it this year, so sign up if you haven't and we'll see you there!

  7. Here are plain text lists of the items in the ads (at least the ones in our database) dating back to 2003:

    2003 - 2004 - 2005 - 2006 - 2007 - 2008 - 2009

    2010 - 2011 - 2012 - 2013 - 2014 - 2015 - 2016

    2017 - 2018 - 2019 - 2020 - 2021 - 2022 - 2023

    And as always you can also visit the Black Friday Archive to browse over 1,300 historical Black Friday ad scans going back to 2004.

     

    Also you can browse the Black Friday forum archives to relive past discussions, see when ads were leaked in a particular year, etc.

  8. A reminder that if you haven't sent me your mailing address yet, feel free to do it anytime so I don't have to chase you down later this year.

     

    If you are on this list it means I haven't received your address yet. Just send me a PM with the subject "prize club address" along with your name & mailing address. Thanks 🙂

    The new forum looks pretty but I do miss the old school emoticons!

     

    They are still there. They are just at the bottom of the list under the "Vintage Smileys" category.

    Anyone else having trouble logging in on your phone?  I tried for 6 days and couldn't.  So, I got the laptop out and it works.  Regardless, checking in for July.  Hope everyone had a safe 4th. 

     

     

    Were you trying to use the app on your phone or using the site in your browser? The app no longer functions - see here for details.

  10. Increased the resolution for profile photos (avatars) for those of you in the GDers group (5+ posts), so if you have a old one that looks pixelated (especially on high res displays) feel free to change it. You can even use animated ones. 

     

    Also, signatures have been re-enabled for those in the GDers group as well. You might need to edit yours if something went wrong in the transfer to the new software. If you don't want to see signatures you can turn them off in your settings. Note that they don't show up on mobile devices to keep things more streamlined. 

  11. Also, according to the script that checks this thread, as of the end of June we still have 47 members:

  12. I know you all still have 4 months to post for this year's prize club, but if you want to help me get ahead of things and don't plan on moving before November, you can send me a PM with the subject "prize club address" and include your name and address so I don't have to chase you down during October/November when things are much busier for me. And if you do move, just send me another PM and I'll update the spreadsheet.

     

    I actually just packaged your prizes for this year today and I already have secured the prizes for next year (well, assuming there are 80 or less winners next year) so I'm way ahead of things 😛
