bigjimslade Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I just pulled this off the wire service. I hope this helps. http://www.chicagotribune.com/technology/chi-061117walmart-story,0,2062855.story?track=rss Wal-Mart will preview eight Black Friday sale items onlineBy Jennifer SudickBloomberg News November 17, 2006, 5:41 PM CST Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, will for the first time preview sale items online before making them available in stores on the day after Thanksgiving, one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Eight items will be posted on the Web site on Thanksgiving and will then be sold in stores from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Nov. 24, the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company said today in a statement. The retailer has already cut prices on toys, electronics and appliances for the holidays. The company said it plans to announce 70 other sale items for Nov. 24, called Black Friday because at one time it was considered the day retailers turned profitable for the year. Wal-Mart said earlier this week it is boosting online advertising and increasing the number of holiday circulars distributed in newspapers to eight from five last year. Wal-Mart's Black Friday sales circular will be available Nov. 20, the company said. Wal-Mart shares fell 41 cents to $47.50 at 4:28 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. They have risen 1.5 percent this year. --With reporting by Lauren Coleman-Lochner in New York. Copyright © 2006, Chicago Tribune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelleyj Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I heard they were posting the deals online, on Thanksgiving, to keep the deals from being leaked ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guilliam Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I agree that there won't be PS3s, at least there better NOT be!! I waited in line 34 hours and received a raincheck stating I would get mine BEFORE they put any on the shelves. They handed out 8 rainchecks. I believe every walmart that did not recieve 10 as advertised did this. As for Elmo, I'm doubtful too because he has been found at walmart periodically, including my store, and if he was making an appearance on bf you'd think they would be saving them all. So.... BRING ON THE LAPTOP!!!!! I'm hoping for the same one they had on sale in the Nov. 5 ad!! I have it on LAW and want to price match!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megnsamsgrace Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Just curious when they would release items on Tday? I need to get that Spongebob TV/DVD player for my MIL, she is getting it for my son for Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sns128 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I was told today by a manager that Wal-Mart will have the 8 items previewed in commericals starting Wednesday. No clue on time frame or anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I hope its one of the two items I want from there and not just the clothing items. Looking forward to that and the additional items being offered on BF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotted1 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I am thinking one is the laptop and one is Elmo could another possibly be playstation 3??? I mean not on sale but just that they have more playstation 3's??? I mean why did Best Buys get more of them???I can see a laptop being one of the deals, but I highly doubt Elmo will be. He's in too much demand as it is for them to knock the price down any more. The idea behind Black Friday is to put items out there at low prices to draw people into the store. Elmo at regular price is going to draw masses of people in. A PS3 at regular price is going to draw masses of people in. So those aren't going to be knocked down to some amazingly low price unnecessarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
