Early Black Friday sales lists circulating

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving when all the stores roll out their best shopping values of the year. Its so called because that’s when many break into the black, that’s how busy they get. Online, speculation and leaked early sales notices abound.
At GottaDeal.com, a special Black Friday area is already filled with rumored ad postings for the post-Thanksgiving sales. Most retailers don’t launch those ads until a day or so before Thanksgiving. And what early shoppers armed with the list do is buy the items they want now and then return them for price adjustments afterwards. That’s one reason so many hot items are sold out so quickly.
Retailers dont like this sort of thing but, despite threats and even past suits, the lists keep getting leaked and posted.
That’s also happening at the Black Friday 2005 site, where the sale prices from a slew of national retailers are now up for review long befre they will officially be published. This site will even e-mail you when new lists become available.
Other sites with Black Friday lists include KeepCash.com, FatWallet.com and DealTaker/com.
And over on Bargainshare, they’ve posted an excellent Black Friday 2005 FAQ guide on how to shop for bargains and get what you want.
I’d like to hear from any of you who use these lists. ( mike AT pcmike DOT com).
