These Were The Most Sold Items On Walmart's Record Breaking Cyber-Monday

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Walmart today announced that Cyber Monday 2013 was the biggest online sales day in its history. The five-day period from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday is the highest five-day stretch in online sales for the retailer to date, and Walmart.com processed more than one billion page views during that period. Somehow WMT managed to process all this traffic without having to spend $1 billion in taxpayer funds to "fix" it website or having to retain Google and Oracle to comb through its 500 million lines of flawed code. So what were WMT's online shoppers spending most of their money on?

Below find the top-selling items at Walmart.com on Cyber Monday.

LG 50" 1080p 60Hz LED HDTV

Apple iPad 2 16GB with Wi-Fi

Fisher-Price Power Wheels Red Ford F150 Raptor 12-Volt Battery-Powered Ride-On

Mega Bloks First Builders Build 'n Learn Table Plus Bonus Play Set

TRIO Stealth G2 10.1" Tablet Dual Core with 16GB Memory (mobile top-seller)

Tilting Wall Mount for 37" to 70" Flat Panel TVs, with HDMI Cable (mobile top-seller)

As Gold Star they made some good kit too. I still own a (fully functional) 100MHz 2 channel oscilloscope of theirs; not used much these days ("gone digital" courtesy of Rigol (who provide entry-level DSOs to Agilent, so they too are decent)), but it seems a shame to ditch something just 'cause it's been slightly superseded.

You guys are always blaming the wrong people.  You try and blame Jews for things the Luciferian Oligarchs do.   If Jews were the ones who started the Fed and were trying to enslave us all.  I'd be all for pointing that out. However that is not the truth.  But you trolls including Francis are always spreading disinfo blaming the wrong people, to hide the people I believe are behind you.

When the pitchforks come out, and if you are really interested in justice for those responsible, you'll stop blaming the wrong people.

The right people for the guillotines are the Luciferian Oligarchs.

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.

Ah, yes, the social graces of free speech on a privately-held website that uses the public airwaves of the internets as it's medium...

MS just hit the nail on the head.

The troll's have completely hijacked most every thread of late.

What happened to arguing the articles and their intent on the merits.

I have been here not quite as long as some but longer than most and the comment section has devloved into less than fight club by a long shot.

When I first found ZH, the comments section was full of debate and you had better have your facts straight or deal with the consequences.

Today, if you mention anything negative or challenging about bitcoin or jews or muslims or repubs or dems, you get your ass shot off by a bunch of thin skinned chillrens.

Sheesh, but for the good ol' days.

While I completely agree, Daddy-O, I refuse to refrain from reading and speaking up (even though I've lately wondered if I'm still at the old ZH site). The tenor of many of the posters has changed so dramatically that I wonder if there is something up to denigrate this great forum.

 We all may be inclined one way politically, socially and in general outlook on things to be attracted to Zero Hedge in the first place, but, hey, it's a big world and if anyone has something intelligent, fact-based and potentially enlightening to offer to the reader ... well bring it on!  

I do not think maturity is a teachable skill, unfortunately.

The ability to articulately debate an issue and to listen to an alternate, (even opposing) view without resorting to seeing who can type the most vulgarities and cursing as their first, and often only response, is seemingly a rare thing on this site.

Those who take the time to think out their point and write it down in a concise and readable style are appreciated by me ... even if I don't necessarily agree with them. Different points of view help to either refine mine or give me cause to rethink it.

Those whose only presence on this site is to exhort (insert name of politician, banker or villian of the piece here) to peform some anatomically impossible maneouvers, I just ignore.

Kirk2NCC1701's picture

Before I ask everyone to stop swinging, return to the Corner and step back into the Ring of ZH Debate, I'd like to point out some necessary technical points:

1. Whoever defines the Terms/Words and frames the Debate, usually wins.  On Principle or on Procedure.  Or both.

2. Bearing in mind #1,  Semite is a person of ME descent and considered to be a descendant of "Shem", a son of of the Biblical character 'Noah'.  Assuming that Noah was more real than his story of the 'Flood', when examined under the ruthless forensics of modern science, logic, etc.

3. If a person is deemed to be 'Antisemitic', then it is unclear as to which precise ME ethnicity is meant, since this includes Palestinians and Arabs (technically).  If, as is presumably insinuated, they are against "Jews", then a more precise term still needs to be used.

4.  Even if a person is deemed to be "anti-Jewish", further distinction needs to be made:  Are they against its faith, its culture, or perhaps against its Geo-political subset of "Secular Zionist" ambitions (i.e. certainly regional or perhaps even global domination) by ruling from the top down?

We need to say what we mean and mean what we say, to make progress, and insist that others do also.  Otherwise a foreigner might as well say "We don't like Americans", just because all they know of are its leaders and celebrities.  Savvy? 

So, let's ask for and insist on a better term than "antisemitism".  Or let's create one, if need be.  Perhaps this will keep ZH out of legal hot water, or out of the "Pariah" ploy of PR and MSM games.

Now, where were we regarding this article?

MOAR FREE SHIT, at lower prices! PAY TAXES! SUPPORT the MIC!

probably unrelated. did anyone watch the ultimate fighter finale a few days ago? the concept is easy, elimination bouts, working toward a 6 figure contract over 3 years(33k/year), to train and fight. it basically covers your living expenses, rent, family, so you can train full time, and reach your full potential as a fighter.

just before the finalists fight, they show some cuts from their home life. one of the contestants talk about how they quit their job to train full time. in his bedroom he has a chalkboard with goals and motivational sayings on the wall. at the very bottom, the last one is....Pay Taxes.

first, he doesn't have a job. secondly, the dates don't match up. unless im suppose to believe that segment was filmed back in march/april.

im calling out a subliminal message to encourage you to pay even if you don't have a job.

successful people...pay taxes.

I don't know. Let's find out.

"Between 1555 and 1931 the Society of Jesus [i.e., the Jesuit Order] was expelled from at least 83 countries, city states and cities, for engaging in political intrigue and subversion plots against the welfare of the State, according to the records of a Jesuit priest of repute [i.e., Thomas J. Campbell]. Practically every instance of expulsion was for political intrigue, political infiltration, political subversion, and inciting to political insurrection."

Use your head VD.  You can watch anything that's on TV on the Internet for information or entertainment if you want to.  Most televison programming and the MSM have become a branch of the progressive propaganda machine anyhow, embrace the new information age.

it's called /s; put another way, h_h's logic is so flawed and idiotic that his post is transparently pathetic. yes i broke the idiocy down in above statement to expose it. out another way: he can watch everything that's on the teevee he so gallantly threw out on the very 'puter that he sits on most of the live long day crapping posts out here in ZH. do you understand now?

 

the "tv" he threw out plays moooovviees and other decent shows, not all run by "evil corps" and now teevees are essentially streaming to boot. don't worry, it's just over your heads. and of course tteeevvveeee plays blurays, rips and other media. [or VHS in case of h_h] FOOLS!

TV is a vehicle controlled by a monopoly and select few.  The information is molded and filtered for consumption of the "masses", the web gives the individual an unprogrammed/unedited choice of content outside the establishment MSM.  There is no reason to give your attention to something that is purposely programming and misdirecting your thoughts and beliefs.

@Hedgeless - you don't know how happy that comment makes me. Cancelled my cable a few years back. TV used for an occasionaly Netflix rental now. I keep telling people, if you want to fire that first real shot, you have to cancel your cable. You won't have to cancel it forever if enough of you get on board because the cable companies will come crawling back to you - at which time you will tell them that YOU, not they, will choose what channels you will pay to watch. That way you can get rid of a lot of the crap and not be supporting the stuff you hate/don't watch with your monthly cable bill. It's a good first start and anyone reading this blog should be cancelling their cable TV immediately if they already haven't done so. And if the cable companies don't come crawling back, then screw 'em. Believe it or not, you can actually live without ANY TV.

"Disposing" of the t.v. might be an idea (but note that most modern devices serve very well as large-screen p.c. monitors - very convenient if you need to do presentations, since there's nothing quite as good as seeing it on "The Big Screen"). Disposing of the radio is stupid.

If anything does happen, radio will be the primary means of emergency information dissemination. That is information that WILL be of use to you. Replace your missing link with a decent multiband set (e.g. something from Tecsun or Sangean), since this will be an essential part of your "Abandon Ship" bag (or at least should be!)

I cannot know for sure if this is the case, however, they get more than one of these fights every year. One happened last year when they were waiting to get into a store. I think it is possible it is part of what they do to create buzz and excitement around their product. It is possible this is staged. I have heard advertisers talk about staging this kind of thing and more subtle stuff, where they talk about a product in a public place where they can be over heard. Don't trust this.
