Awesome! So glad to hear you got one!

Maybe not. I'd get one if I could and just keep your receipt. You can always return it if you can get the one you want. Sometimes the "hot" items will come in stock closer to Christmas. I remember toysrus had zuzus Black Friday. Walmart had them a little closer to Christmas. I got an email from them both beforehand. Just keep watching on gottadeal. There's lots of helpful people on here who will keep an eye out for you. I'll definitely do that and come here to post if I find them coming in stock somewhere.

Bestbuy has posted info for their Elite & Elite Plus members online early access. It will be on the Monday before Thanksgiving which is 11/21. Prices are suppose to drop sometime between Midnight to 5 am.

Haha! It is funny during the day but wow in the middle of the night it's insane! It seemed like it took forever to get all 4 of the ones I needed too. You'll get it eventually. Just gotta be quick on the draw....lol. Good luck!

Not surprised but definitely disappointed! They are probably waiting until after the election to get more coverage. I'd say we've got a couple more days before the "big ones" drop. Come on Bestbuy and Walmart!

This sounds like the firestorm Zuzu pets set off. It was hit and miss with those babies too. I used the site nowinstock.net to find them. They have an alarm you can set to go off when something comes in stock. It drove my husband crazy when a rooster alarm went off in the middle of the night. Here's the link: http://www.nowinstock.net/toys/hatchimals/

I agree! Black Friday is ruined for me! It's mainly because of the new shopping hours. I miss standing for hours outside the stores waiting for that hot deal with my mom and DH! We had a pretty sweet setup as mom would jump in line while DH and I ran around grabbing everything we needed then took it to her. Afterwards we always went to breakfast. Last year we did go to Walmart Thanksgiving evening then to bass pro which opened at 5 am. I hope they keep their start time at 5 am this year. That'll prob be the only place I go if they do. Everything else will be bought online. Of course I'm sure part of the problem is my DS18 is now grown. As far as I can remember his big gifts have always been electronics. I will never forget standing outside KB Toys for hours to get his first Gameboy Advance SP. We were first in line every year at KB. Not much has changed since then, as he still loves video games, and his computer, but he has everything. This year I am just at a loss to what to even get him........ BTW a BIG thanks to Brad and the Gottadeal crew. Because of this site I get most of my shopping done online. Thanks, guys!

Bestbuy and Walmart.

Oh ok. I get ya. DS18 was into the beats too at first. I think the dr dre name plus the cool colors draw more attention. Keep an eye out for earlier this month too. I bought his beats studio earlier in November at Bestbuy cheaper than any of the Black Friday ads.

On the beats, were they a specific request? The reason I ask is my DS18 has gotten a new pair of beats for the last 3 years. When his new pair that he got this past Christmas broke in March we looked at Bose headphones instead. He loves them. Says the sound quality is so much better and they are made much better. I looked back in the bestbuy ad from last year and they were in the ad for $59.99 and I'm seriously hoping they are that price again as DH wants a pair as well. If you specifically need beats I got my best prices at Bestbuy and Staples the last 3 years.

I LOVE my airfryer! I've had it about 6 months and use it a lot! I bought the CooksEssential 1500 from qvc. It has pre-set buttons for French fries, chicken, steak, and fish along with regular digital timer and heat controls. I love how French fries and onion rings come out. I originally bought it because my husband wanted to eat healthier. He loves steak and chicken fixed in it. I would definitely recommend one. Just make sure you get a good one. QVC now has one with 6 Pre-set and the regular timer, and heat control. http://www.qvc.com/Ships-1116-CooksEssentials-53qt-Digital-Air-Fryer-w6-Presets.product.K45537.html?sc=SRCH Kayray I considered the Philips too but I decided to give the one I bought a chance first because it was on sale for $99.99 plus shipping at the time and if I wasn't happy I would just send it back and get the Philips. Personally I don't see how the philips would be worth the price difference.

I was so hoping the Nintendo Switch would be out for Christmas but March works for us too. It will be DS18 birthday present since his birthday is in March. Anyone have any predictions on price point for the system? I'm wondering if they are trying to phase out not just the Wii U with this system but also the DS. Looks like they would've shot for Christmas, but Nintendo for some reason tends to lean toward March for some system releases. The 3ds system and the New 3ds system both were released in March.

You're welcome.

It's been posted on Bestbuy's website. Here it is: Buy your gifts and other items this holiday with the peace-of-mind of easy returns. Almost every purchase made throughout November and December can be returned through January 15, 2017. Purchases made between Oct. 30 — Dec. 31, 2016 have an extended return period through January 15, 2017, excluding items purchased with a third-party contract (ex. Mobile Phone carrier contracts, AppleCare monthly plans, DirecTV, etc.). All other terms and conditions of our Return & Exchange Promise apply. My Best Buy Elite and Elite Plus members have an extended holiday return/exchange window. Elite members have through January 30, 2017 to return or exchange products purchased between October 30 and December 31, 2016, while Elite Plus members can return or exchange purchases made in that timeframe through February 14, 2017. Previously mentioned exclusions apply.

I've been buying and selling on eBay for over 15 years now. It's not any different from buying from a store online for the first time. You can tell a reputable seller by their feedback and payment methods accepted. Be wary if they don't accept PayPal. eBay and PayPal do protect you. If you do end up with something that is pirated, turn a dispute in. eBay does not put up with that. They will shut the seller down, and PayPal will reclaim your money. You should take a look at eBay. There are several stores that put sale stuff on there themselves. Bestbuy, Target, and Vera Bradley to name a few. I bought my mom and mother in law both Vera purses and wallets for Mother's Day for the price of what I would have paid for just 1 purse and got them directly from Vera Bradley.

Which sites do you plan on shopping?

Belk has already started their Black Friday sale on Belk.com. Free shipping on purchase totals of $50.00.

Both the Cinderella dvd and Fire tablets remained full price for us during the elite sale, too.

Perhaps it's just the mediocre deals then. I got to order early from bestbuy during the elite sale, and they also had the beats I needed on sale so I've gotten a lot accomplished so far anyway. I'm just not getting into amazon this year for some reason.... I really miss the calendar. Just don't have all day to monitor the deals. They should be better the closer it gets to Thanksgiving so maybe there will be something I can't live without.

I usually buy a lot from them, but this year I've barely even looked at the deals. Its all because I hate the new format.

The rechargeable battery part confused me, too. My DS17 explained it to me in technical terms, but all I can really tell you is it has to do with the noise cancellation. It worked out well for me, because he wanted the wired ones anyway. Sorry your disappointed. Hope you find a good deal on wireless ones.

Just picked my set up at our local bestbuy store and no they are not wireless.

That one is on the elite early access sale.

Which printer are you looking at? Edit: If it's the HP Deskjet 2545 it was available during the elite sale. Unfortunately, the Kindle Fire wasn't. Don't stress about that though. The front page door buster stuff usually isn't on the elite early access sale.

I ordered the blue ones last night for shipping. They were showing available for shipment when I placed the order, but they were put on back order within a few minutes. I called and changed it to store pickup and they are already ready for me to pickup. If you get back ordered check your local stores.
