Guest no1dtngfan Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 I was just wondering...are places already working on their sales? When is the deadline...for the big places like Best Buy...i would say the ad is ready by last week of oct/first week of nov...what yall think , or know first hand?
mrn8 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 I'm sure the stores have to wait to see what items they can stock at the door-buster prices before they can finalize their ads. When we get them is anybody's guess. Someone has to leak them and hopefully they leak them to GottaDeal first.

CG480 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Well i found this place last year on the 17th of Oct and I was following a Black friday add that someone had posted so I hope by the middle of Oct we should know again.
Rockfordmom Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Do you think that they already know what all the hot items will be for Christmast this year?
becca0884 Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Last year it was around the beginning to middle of October when the BF items started rolling off of the truck into Target.
elena_398 Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I wish I didn't have so many medical bills. This will be the first time EVER I will have to charge most of my items. I hate charging anything. But with the ambulance, emergency room then overnight stay, physical therapy, and upcoming back surgery, money will be so tight. I wish if this health problem had to happen it was earlier in the year so I could have recoverd finacially before BF. So basically I have my $400 saved up in my drawer to spend then thats it. Then off to charging. I already told the kids it wouldn't be a huge christmas like they were used to. My daughter age 6 just said thats ok, Santa will just buy gifts for me this year....lol... god love her
f1rstclass Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Oh I think that they will finalize in early to mid October so that the warehouses can begin stocking the items in prep of getting them to the stores...but just my $0.02 worth.
Mike Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 A typical weekly ad is made 6 weeks in advance, my guess for BF would be late August/early Sept.
Guest fun_4_u_nme Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Lets all make a guess on the first ad to hit the site ! Im going to guess it's going to be Best Buy ! I hope...
blakes_mommy Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I hope toys r us, even though the line stinks!!
Booterbunz Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I'll say Hobby Lobby for the first ad just for the heck of it!
Marcster Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Brad or Ross can confirm, but I think Ace Hardware was the 1st last year... I'll go with them this year too...
sigrist_2000 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 they should be in their finalization plans now...but if they follow walmarts plan last year...they will have another ad out to out do other competitors..like with a flyer with lower or at the same prices
Edgemonster Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I used to work for KB Toys and we would start getting alot of merchandise about this time and would get our BF ad by mid October.
NeepNeep Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I don't recall any major B&M retailer that issused a supplemental BF flyer, other than Wal-Mart in 2005, that additionally lowered some of their BF main ad prices. Most regular sale ads have a 6-8 week lead time. For BF I would imagine the lead time is longer. You probably won't see some of this season's 'hot' items in the BF ads (Elmo, Nintendo Wii console, Sony PS3 console, etc.) as the retailers can't guarantee availability. I don't recall the XBox 360 console being listed in any BF ad, although games and accessories for the XBox 360 were listed.
