We've adapted our original Tracker technology and applied it to help your grubby hands get a hold of Black Friday online specials before anyone else. Each tracker will individually monitor each hot Black Friday item, showing you the availability in real-time. The prices listed are the Black Friday prices, which may not become available until the stores do their BF refresh. Stores currently tracked:

CompUSA - BestBuy - CircuitCity - Staples - OfficeMax - OfficeDepot - Kmart - Walmart - Sears

Update: CompUSA, CircuitCity, BestBuy, Walmart are now partly or mostly live and available online!

    Yes, if it shows as available in Ben's terrific turkey day tracking program, then you can buy it online now, and save the rush tomorrow.

    Unfortunately, like most years, I'm pretty underwhelmed with the offerings, and will save my money for something I really want, instead of spending it with wild abandon on the stuff they're offering. Sad

    None of the circuit city dvd links are working. They just bring you to a search page.

    Besides poor deals this year, I am surprised how many of the deals require rebates too. Normally, BF deals shouldn't require them.

    yea i'm so confused. clicking on the links takes u to the item page with the higher prices.


    bump - me too. Have found some great things in stock with the tracker, but other times I click on something that's listed as "Thursday" but it shows higher prices. Does this mean you can order it today and get the price adjusted in person tomorrow? Not sure what "Thursday" means in that case...

    On Black Friday, retail stores transition from "in the red" to "in the black" for the year.

    This is a great feature. I haven't seen this on any other site.

    This is incredible. Some of the Best Buy items which the print ad says are only available in the store are actually available at the advertised Black Friday prices on line.

    Nice feature. Me likee. I'm assuming some of the "sold out" stuff just means it hasn't become available yet?

    Black Fridays always make me wish desperately that I could clone myself... and my money! Smile

    Yeah, now that places are starting to offer stuff on Thanksgiving Thursdays in addition to the Black Fridays, we need a name for the Thursday sales. Something like Gray Thursday, or Turkey-Brown Thursday.... or maybe even something genuinely clever that someone else will hopefully think up! Haha.
