Just looked a lil' into this myself. I think with the free Skype account ya can only make/recieve calls to and from other Skype accounts. Ya can set it up so other people using Skype can call in or starting at $18 for three months ya can get a Skype online number for land line folks to call in. That'd be just long enough to last until after Black Friday. There's some online tutorioals on how to set things up in Ustream with Skype or anythin' else BigJim wants to try out. Using Skype with Ustream

Only vaguely familiar with Skype but am willing to give it a go. Just gimme enough notice in advance. Have ya also considered the co-host feature on uStream? Maybe one of us can join ya to help answer questions about toys or electronics (my expertize lies in the latter ).

But it's not officially supposed to be Black Friday season until you get your annual C&D letter. It won't be. It can't be! ... Can it?

As always, I'll be stuck in Phoenix, AZ.

Ugh! More people gettin' suckered into payin' more . Why don't they just go to eBay and bid on one?

C'mon now Marcster, You must know the rules by now No t-shirt for you!

Remember folks: Gottadeal.com For year round deals and savings Not just Black Friday

Well, we all know BigJim knows nada about toys. Let's see how much he knows about tools.

Tonight I sleep in, Getting plenty of good rest, Cuz I shopped online!

Congrats to all the winners! And hopefully Brad has a few t-shirts left. I need an XL. .

So now that the first ad is out are we gonna strike up the webcast tonite? Got lots of tools to talk about at Harbor Freight.

You guys missed quite a four hour show tonite. Lots of great info and even got to the point where, well... things happen that we can't post here in the PG forums. Hehe!

We're gonna be shootin' for the all time record tonite.

They are. The AZ Room Store has 'em courtesy of Best Buy. Just gotta buy a grand worth of furniture is all .

Just heard a commercial for The Room Store in AZ: Buy $1000 in furniture and get an HP Touchpad courtesy of Best Buy FREE! Looks like someone's holding back on us after all.

Some new features there are still a bit buggy and overall it needs some serious love and fine tuning, but I hope testing last year's charts gives folks an idea of what to expect this year.

I think I need a new black XL t-shirt .

Advanced sorting Beta Test #1 is up: BF 2010 Charts. Beta testers needed. Had a brainstorm last night and thought I'd give things a test run. Lemme know what'cha think and if ya encounter any problems.

How 'bout something that lets ya sort things out of the charts one by one at a time. Like an option to keep/remove only items that are less than/greater than/equal to a certain value or equal to a certain brand/store/type/etc. Sorry, that's a rather mathematical way of putting it, but I hope ya get the idea. Wouldn't be that hard to do at all.

Sheesh! Talk about picky!

I think a good number of people here are gonna be lined up at the insane asylum if Brad doesn't get an ad... and SOON!

Just wanted to give a shoutout to all our new members and everyone returning for BF and beyond!

That's one thing I was considering doing. Something like being able to select what parts of the chart ya wanna see and even being able to show just those parts in the printable format. All that detail would help the serious tekkie shoppers lookin' for a great deal and it allows for non-tekkie folks to eliminate all the mumbo-jumbo.

Just a few thoughts I'd like from everyone: what do y'all think about the way all the charts are given? Too much info? Too little? What sort of features would ya like to see this year? I need some opinions on it as my mind is so tekkie-savy it's hard for me to see things from a typical consumer's point of view. Also I've been thinking about adding DVD and blu-ray movies and TV show sets to the list this year. People seem to like those cheap movie bins at most stores. Be good to know where the best movie deals are.
