On the prowl for the best deals from U.S. retailers this Thanksgiving weekend? A quick check online can provide the answers that retailers are not yet ready to reveal.
A visit to BlackFriday.info reveals that Circuit City Stores Inc. will be selling an Olevia 32-inch high-definition LCD TV for $499 from 5 a.m. until 11 a.m. on Black Friday, while Sears will sell a men’s leather coat for $49.99.
Another Web site, Black Friday Ads says Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will be offering a 42-inch high-definition plasma television for $988 from 5 a.m. until 11 a.m., while supplies last, on November 24.
BlackFriday.info had a note on its site on November 13 saying it had removed a Best Buy Co. Inc. advertisement after the electronics retailer threatened to try to shut the site down.
“We can’t really fight Best Buy,” Vincent said.
The day after BlackFriday.info removed the Best Buy ad, Black Friday Ads had a copy of what looked like a Best Buy newspaper insert, promoting a 42-inch LCD high-definition TV for $999.99, after $500 in instant savings, until noon on Black Friday.
Actually, both of them have now removed the Best Buy adverts.
One of the rumors I hear — is that some stores will start off Black Friday at a minute after midnight, Thanksgiving night. Why sleep when you can shop, right?
