Best deal websites?

[Thump553]

this year i notice that ALOT of stores are releasing thier black Friday ads early this year.

i remember a time when these same stores treated the ads like a national secret and threatened to sue sites under dmca for posting their ads.

What a change.

and of course the deals got less hot year after year.
this year isnt an exception

"Less hot" is quite an understatement. It's like saying Roseann Barr is not a babe.

Walmart has the cheapest ones. Cheaper ones sell out early so hurry, but I don't think they are out yet...

we bought about 10 four years ago from lowe's for 75% off after christmas to make some sort of 'wonderland' out in front of the house (came out to be like 14.xx each). they're still boxed up in the attic.

Oh ValueAmerica, how I miss your ridiculously generous offers. I can't even remember how much stuff I got there at 50% off, including a TV with free shipping. Ain't no deals like that today.

But DrPizza is right, consumers have proven great deals don't create loyal customers, and sellers don't see a need to offer blockbuster deals. When online sellers analyze the results from past great deals, they see a large number of orders from new customers who never order again. It's pretty easy to see that isn't helping the business.

Yeah Value America! They had this weird deal get $100 store credit if you buy a Revere cookware set for like $50. Well, my mom and I both needed cookware sets, so I bought 2 of them, got the $200 in credits and used them to buy a 27" tv! Took those guys to the cleaners also, did great at lots of early DVD purchase sites, and countless other web sites that no longer exist.

Brad's Deals is pretty awesome for apparel.

Invisible Hand is a good Firefox add-on for casual browsing of deals on items you're looking at.

Anyone remember a website where there would be several deals, all were sold by themselves, there would be different levels of fire icons next to them along with counters/countdowns... cant recall the name...
