How does having one on the site constantly refreshing their screens prevent that?

I'd seen the all day Thursday in several articles, but looking on the website's FAQs it states:

In order to ensure proper site performance for all of our customers, we will not be announcing a specific start time to our Black Friday deals on BestBuy.com. Please check back often, and be sure to refresh your browser to see the deals when they become available. Please do not call us and ask when the sale will start, our representatives are not able to share that information.

Well over at another forum someone who is a elist member already order two and got them. So I think the limit from what they said is 3 but I know we should be able to get two at least. In Store is a different story.

Good to know. I'll try to put 2 in my cart, then, when the price comes up.

Amazon has the fire 7 on sale for $34.99 already down from the $49. Also has a San disk 32 gig for $14.99 down from $19.99. Lowest price ever.

Price just changed on the phone to $9.99, but still showing Coming Soon.

badgoodDeb · 11-26-2015, 01:22 AM

Yeah, I just noticed the price change, and was wondering how to put it into my cart. As long as I'm not missing something obvious (i.e. you noticed the same thing) then I won't feel that I'm missing seeing what I should be seeing!

tubemonkey · 11-26-2015, 01:27 AM

It's live. Just ordered 2 phones (limit).

library addict · 11-26-2015, 01:29 AM

I'm still getting Coming Soon

Blossom · 11-26-2015, 01:29 AM

I got mine too!

Woohoo!! *does turkey dance*

There's no way to add a Coming Soon item to your cart.

The phone is live now.

Thanks

Okay, I got the phone in my cart. There was another thing I wanted to get that's still showing "Coming Soon". Tried on the app on my phone, but it said "The item is currently unavailable for online purchase. The item was not added to your cart."

I think since shipping is free, I will just get the stuff I have now and I can always buy the USB later today.

That's always the smart move on items with limited stock.
