Buying Tip for Popular Sales/Releases

Unread post by Honeybee »

Henry had his SoCal Bargain Bin Sale this morning (or 1pm Pacific time)
I was 3mins late on the jump for although I had been logged in, I had to log in again to see the 9 pages on offer (Tip 2 - make sure you are logged in)

There was one item I REALLY wanted and I had it and a couple of other decks in my cart but stupidly was still looking
You can guess the result - the one I really wanted got Sold before I checked out
Tip 1 - Checkout immediately on anything you REALLY want. Then continue to browse - you can always combine shipping later

Yep, happened to me also, I had it in my cart, but took too long. I grabbed a couple of items, but the one I really wanted got away.

I was there right on 7:58AM, the update to the bargain bin didnt occur until about 2 minutes past so you did not miss by much by being later.

What was it you were trying to secure?

Nice, I have never seen that one before. Shiny!

I was trying to get Devotion Gold by TWI, I still managed to grab a couple I liked, so not the end of the world.

I only like that first version of Stratosphere as it has by far the best Courts

That one's been on my wishlist for quite some time. I have the other versions, but not V1.
