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)

Actually, China Mart also carries Montana Red Wheat in 20lb bags, bulk rice, some carry #10 cans of freeze dried mountain house food, and now they have survival knives, machetes, tomahawks, and other useful "toys".

None of these make the list either.

We are open extra hours before xmas so that like for like show an increase, come the new year all those temps are gone, no extra hours, no hiring, prices will rise to make back that lost margin over xmas (my ce thinks we are savin' that 'xtra money, dickhead !) Which bit of minim' wage fare 'xtra didn't get spent on utility and food.

 

Listen here CEO dickhead, I understand that you have never traded through a global recession (despite your Canadian credentials), I know you want to sell our PLC to PE to realise the RE from under the business (we are woolworths)

 

Listen here CEO dickhead, This is and always was a family business, lots of us workers hold shares, there was a reason that we were closed on boxing day, it was because we were a family business that served families interets.

 

I'm in favour of random drug testing of CEOs in the UK cuz I saw mine on breakfast tele one day and if he isn't on chrystal meth then I'm a fuckin chinaman.

Dreaded Double post.

 

How much is enough ?

 

1 million dollars used to be a fortune,

 

and now, whilst it is quite a lot, by the time you have bought a $200,000 car (red ferari) and a $340,000 house and paid some taxes you begin to understand the kind of expenses that 'rich' people have

 

 

 

! billion dollars is a fortune.

 

You can buy the ferari outright, the big house is yours, you can service the expenses.

 

(anybody remember the 10c corn snack?)

 

10bn dollars is unimaginable

 

100bn dollars and you have it made

 

(uncle ben prints 80bn dollars per month)

 

1000bn dollars (a nice round trillion)

 

Must be a lot because no one has declared earning that sum yet but it is only a matter of time

 

10Tn dollars of debt, US passed that some time ago

 

100Tn US will get there.

 

The point being knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing

 

Anybody want to buy a dollar ?

although i agree completely - anybody that spends money at walmart or home depot or starbucks or mcdonalds is pretty much putting themselves out of work, or at best creating a situation where they can work and be .gov subsidized.  but - i don't see a lot of complaints except here in the crowd of mostly high net worth people.

My commentary on products

 

  1. LG 50" 1080p 60Hz LED HDTV – Watch the lies from a bigger vantage point in the comfort of your home.
  2. Apple iPad 2 16GB with Wi-Fi – Customers are storing their information offline and don’t intend to double down on the cost of multiple networking charges.
  3. Fisher-Price Power Wheels Red Ford F150 Raptor 12-Volt Battery-Powered Ride-On – The Special Edition offers a larger glove box to store your CO2 Tactical Force TF11 Mac-10 FPS-350 Blowback Airsoft Gun. In the event drone surveillance should ensue, a Dual Shotgun rack comes equipped to accommodate Red Ryder Commemorative BB Guns.
  4. Mega Bloks First Builders Build 'n Learn Table Plus Bonus Play Set- The newest progressive play set were the parts cannot be swallowed and mommy & daddy can’t sue the toy manufacture.
  5. TRIO Stealth G2 10.1" Tablet Dual Core with 16GB Memory (mobile top-seller)- ?? Late player in the Tablet game branding Google?? My Playbook is still a workhorse.
  6. Tilting Wall Mount for 37" to 70" Flat Panel TVs, with HDMI Cable (mobile top-seller) – Keeping the Chinese workforce busy to afford a place in the ghost cities.

I grew up in a old house with no running water, it actually had a privy.  Water came from a pump outside and to take a bath we heated a teakettle on the stove and bathed in a large galvanized metal tub.  Only heat was 2 woodstoves.  I wouldn't trade that experience for anything, because it made me appreciate things like running water, toilets, hot water, and central heat/air.  And my Dad was a pipefitter so in helping him on jobs I grew to understand just how much effort it takes to make all that work.

Yes, most of us DO live like kings compared with days not all that long ago.

I have a Lincoln Mark LT and Navigator..both equipped with a 5.4l. Why dream? Haven't driven either in three months.  Do miss the two little beasts. we may see each other during Christmas.  I'm sure they will be thown into four wheel drive for snow fun. Unless the wife decides to stay in Florida during Christmas. 

Edit: The Lincoln Mark LT is a glorified F-150 crew cab with all the bells and whistles. Unless you build your own home design down south, that behemoth can only be garaged up north. Meanwhile, The poor navigator gets neglected. Its transported to a house’s we own. Sits in a garage for a long time. Driven for short distance. Finds itself back on a commercial transport carrier heading for another home garage. Long story short, after my baby was moved from Marco, to Ft Myers , then back to Ohio. I went to take the Nav for an oil change about two month ago.

 

The guy says, I know it’s been a 1.5 years since we’ll scene your SUV Mr. Atomizer, you’ve only put a hair under 1,000 miles since then. Are you sure you want an oil change? Change it dear friend. The Nav is like the new, one mile cruise ship, it has a dedicated departure schedule via commercial transport company each year

 

On a side note for the lurkers. My wife crashed my V12 BMW 750il. It got about 11-12 MPG city . The Nav gets about 8-10 MPG city.

On one occasion when travelling down I-75:

  • I shout, god dammit!
  • She rifles back, What’s wrong?
  • I exclaim, we are only getting 15 MPG doing 70 MPH, we need to jump start this economy based on Petrodollar recycling.   
  • My foot hits the accelerator, bringing the Average MPG to 6.  
  • She just looks over with a shitty grin, glances back out her window and chuckles.

I always find what you say fascinating because you live in the same socialist shithole that the US is heading into.  Yet you hold some "hope" for something better in your country, and that hope is connected to US politics?  You have Capital Controls even worse than Cyprus and close to Venezuela yet it doesn't bother you?  Lord only knows what you think will improve for you if the US becomes more like Argentina.  An Arg-style US gov with our own version of your Pres Fernandez and the military power to destroy the World at will.  The whole of SA may become an excuse for our failure.  I'm sorry, but I don't see a better future for you right now until you all get thoroughly fucked over by socialism.  Other Countries close to you in SA are at least going in the right direction.

TNTARG's picture

But Harbanger, you're so wrong.

Argentina hasn't a socialist government. The whole idea is MSM propaganda, and you know who owns the MSM and at what extent you can believe what they tell. Never trust the MSM (never trust any gvt either!). We all live under some kind of façade, the real thing is elsewhere.

Argentina is a Capitalist country. Always has been. Socialism has never been applied here, never ever. Anzi, you should know socialism remains a theory never implemented in reality.

I always find amazing how so many people confuses socialism with authoritarian regimes (as Hitler's, Stalin's and even most of your gvts -at least since Kennedy-, including Obama's).

You're not heading towards some kind of "argentinean way", it's the other way around I think, without the attribute of superpower which wouldn't be popular downhere.

One thing is for sure: you can find places here where you can live under unusual freedom, living in some spectacular landscapes, eating first quality simple but exquisit food, breathing healthy air, running your business comfortably.

Cheers, my friend.
