stationchief Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Don't think one specific store's ad gets scanned every time every year, so let's place our bets. Gimme your best guess for the winners of the following categories: First sale rumored, non-scanned ad. What store, the date it shows up, what item mentioned, and what price tagFirst ad scanned. What store and the date it shows upFirst media attention GottaDeal.com recieves. What station/news website/newspaper, and whenI'll start with my bets:First sale rumored: Wal-Mart, 10/20/06, a 46" wide-screen HDTV, $1199.First ad scanned: Best Buy on 11/3/06First media attention for GD: MSNBC online on 11/13/06 I'm throwing guesses in the air pretty much. However, I really do think HDTVs are gonna be rumored first since that's gonna be the red hot item this year.
Novac Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 You forgot to mention that you're going to buy the winner whatever the item in #1 was. You are doing that for the winner, right?

You are doing that for the winner, right? The winning bet wins the respect of his/her fellow peers. That's worth more than any wide-screen HDTV, right? What can I say. It's a virtual contest, so ya get virtual prizes. I dunno, maybe Ross or someone can arrange for some GottaDeal points if they really wanna make this into a real contest.
sigrist_2000 Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 didnt Ace have rumored items already(not scanned)... and i think someone said that Target had small appliances...the normal stuff
Aaron Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 didnt Ace have rumored items already(not scanned)... and i think someone said that Target had small appliances...the normal stuffAce Hardware had some "rumored" items, but until there is an ad scan of some kind - nothing can be confirmed.
HowardLive Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 I'll play... Wal-Mart: as a doorbuster, a 32-inch LCD HDTV for $599 - which will lead to, oh, 33 misdemeanor arrests nationwide. Howard

Curious to know what you think the magic number will be. (The rest of you, you're all free to guess, too.)
kmbrly Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 The winning bet wins the respect of his/her fellow peers. That's worth more than any wide-screen HDTV, right? . I'd rather have the tv.
