Okay more news. I called again just to make sure my account and everything was in the system, I also asked them if it will be available over the phone. They said it would be but there was also this line of info dropped. The rep said that it is a "special order" so "it may not go through". Not sure what that meant. Either ordering over the phone would not go through or they are taking orders from expected arriving stock??

Just a thought for anyone who maybe thinking of cancelling any orders.

yea agreed don't cancel the order, sell to a fellow RFD member and even make a few extra bucks.

A URL was created by the company - TSC
In this case it is just something FOUND

A glitch is an error - this URL is not an error

I would assume that every product has a similar URL

I called in, and ordered through a rep.

I quoted the item number (that I saw the on the previous thread - sorry, I didn't write it down).
She quoted me at $199. I purchased two. She didn't say anything about it going "Live" at 7:00.

Sorry for those who didn't get the deal, but I don't see them cancelling the orders.
It sounds like sour grapes too me.

If anything, TSC put them "Sold Out" online, so they can hold a few hundred for tomorrows 07:00 release.

These are supposed to be sold on their TV channel while on-air, so unless they're complete
friggin idiots, they'll need stock to sell tomorrow.

wizardofi wrote: The HB Facebook person should never have put in the sale number into a post. That was less than brilliant. With regards to TSC... their job is to Sell and sell only. Mission accomplished. More shamwow or slapchop airtime to sell more stuff that is still in their warehouses. This is just business to them, so the chances of them cancelling anythis is NIL.

Sorry to burst any bubbles, but at least there was a slim chance of getting these, unlike the backroom staff ones that we never even get a sniff at.

I feel bad for all of the RFD'ers who were not reading this mammoth thread at the exact right time but it is what it is...many were all set to get these last Saturday morning but employees from these less than fine establishments (BB, Staples, FS) took them...the fact that these stores would allow that to happen is pretty pathetic. I know if one of my employees did something like that I would be firing them...I believe most stores have policies that their employees can only buy items during regular business hours when they are not working...

Interesting...I don't see why people wouldn't adopt it though?

Yeah but sometimes registering is a deterrent for some people, the lazy bunch. Also you would need to be a current member to even view the deal, so the public wouldn't even know.
