thanks Brad. I can't wait. If all goes well, I'll be in a bigger city next year and I can wear the shirt and spread the word to more people.

I will try to help but I can't promise anything. I might be in and out but I can unofficially help if that can help you out a bit.

I talked to someone last year about Orscheln's ad, and they posted it 2-3 days before the sale on their website. When I was posting ads on my own site last year, they were one of the last ones I posted.

Here's My list Walmart- Emerson 32" TV- $148 Compaq Presario Laptop- $179 XBox Live Gold Card 3 month- $11.96 WWE 13 Xbox 360- $25 Madden 13 Xbox 360- $25 NCAA Football 13 Xbox 360- $25 Hot Tub Time Machine DVD- $1.96 (2) Hot Wheels 9-Pack- $10 Sandisk 16GB Ultra SDHC Card- $9.88 Wilson NCAA basketball- $14.96 Target- 1600 point Xbox card- $10 Semi-Pro DVD- $1 Bass Pro Shop- LED Flashlight 6-Pack- $8.97 Best Buy- The Expendables DVD- $1.99 Eastbound & Down Season 1- $7.99 Eastbound & Down Season 2- $7.99 3TB Backup Plus External USB 3.0 Hard Drive- $99.99 Hastings- M*A*S*H Seasons 1-11 ($7.99 each)- $87.89 Sears- 32" TV- Sears $97 DeWalt 18-Volt compact Drill/driver kit- $99.99 Presto Stainless Steel Pro Fryer- $29.99 Sears Hometown- Huffy 26-in Arlington Bike- 89.99 Staples- PNY 16GB USB Flash Drive- $6.99 Total= $999.54

My favorite thing about Black Friday is actually seeing the ads when they come out and sharing with my friends the ones that are leaked.

Looking back, years past I have found many great deals Thank you Gottadeal.

#1. "Polaroid? Man these are giant cameras." #2. The Grim Reaper blends in well on black Friday. #3. This guy knows how to shop for Bed, Bath, AND Beyond.

October 17th is my guess for Half Price Books. The store that isn't even near me but I am still excited to see the ad.

I picked 1, 4, and 8, but I like 4 the best. I really like the orange shirts better. I know blue has been the past shirts, but something doesn't feel right about them. I'd also like to point out that #3 and #7 doesn't even show the website name, so I'm not a fan of them. I know the little logo is in the cart, but people may not know what it refers to.

This! My thoughts exactly.

I see where the one who are here all the time are coming from, but I still think maybe hold off a bit. A possible solution is maybe giving double entries to those who have been here a certain length of time or posted a certain amount. I know I only post during Black Friday, but the ones dedicated to the site year round should have a bit better odds of winning I admit. As for other ideas- GD? It's only bad to say if you aren't talking about GottaDeal! That one might not test too well, but I wanted to stay on topic a bit.

I like those two. Maybe include "I am the 1% that got your doorbuster. I like the QR code idea too. That could be put on the sleeve maybe. Another idea is possibly a T-shirt jersey. On the front, have it say "Team Gottadeal" on the back where the player's name is just put "gottadeal.com" and as for the number put the year the website was established.

"WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? Obviously you've never heard of GOTTADEAL.COM before" "CAUTION: Deals are closer than they appear" Maybe use a slogan with Caution or Warning since it appears the shirt will be orange this year. I love the idea of an orange shirt.

I finally gave up. It appeared to be sold from 3rd party sellers for a while, them back to the 12 dollar price but backordered. So, I'll get it eventually.

Amazon is pissing me off, trying to get a xbox live card as we speak and its not working. Its been checking status for 30 minutes. 10:15 AM PST Xbox LIVE 3 Month Gold Membership $24.99 $7.99 (68% off) Checking deal status...Checking Deal Status Prime Eligible 0% now claimed 00:35:30 remaining BUGGING ME LIKE CRAZY!

Almost like that in Mid-MO, but once the temperature dips on Thanksgiving, it won't get higher on Friday. I think it's supposed to be about 65 Thanksgiving, then the high on Friday will be about 45. Chance of rain all week too.

Get well soon, Mr. bigjimslade! After reading the first few posts it almost sounded like a movie was going to be made "The year without Black Friday!" Hope you feel better then the movie will be "BIGJIMSLADE SAVES BLACK FRIDAY!" We really do appreciate all you do, but your health comes first.

Not sure if enough people care, but the ad for Slackers is posted on their website, www.slackers.com. For those not aware, Slackers is a Midwest video game store that also sells used CD's and movies. They are based out of St. Louis (even though they started in Columbia, MO) and have many locations in Missouri and Illinois.

Congrats to the winners! I might have to try some of these.

I might be in St. Louis this year, so I might do something crazy and shop there. If not I'll be in Columbia, MO.

Photo 1: When I first got in line, this was still a Circuit City Photo 2: A thumbs up sign won't work much longer, FIX THE DOOR! Photo 3: I'm not sure which hurts more, I couldn't get any deals, or people making fun of my Redskins jacket.

Lottery Tickets and tube socks! I wouldn't get anything in my stocking if it wasn't for those two items. I sometimes get my nephews some hot wheels, since they love them (especially the mystery ones), and also once certain Halloween candy goes on clearance, I get that to fill the stockings.
