Talk about sale items going quickly...

I was at the office early and before I began the day, I thought I would hop over to Lee Valley to checkout their Cyber Monday Sale.  Not bad, not bad.  A few items, primarily the factory seconds, were being offered at a great price and I could use one or two.  However, they were going fast!  How fast, I soon discovered.

Three times I looked at an item, thought to myself, "hey, I like this, let me check it out a bit before ordering".  Well, by the time I hopped over to the product description page and returned, usually less than 1 minute, the item was gone.  I mean, "Gone in 60 Seconds" gone.  [blink]

Good luck to all those that beat me, and most others, to the punch; or sale item as in this case.  [embarassed]
 
Hi -

Yup, it all goes quickly....

I was up at 3:30 this AM. and in the office at 4:30. At 3:30 - we already had a number of items sell out.

I'd like to say "I wish we had more seconds" - but we try really hard not to make them.... [eek]

Cheers -

Could also be labelled "the west coast stayed up late"

I noticed it went live right before I went to bed, snagged a $1000 gift card  ;D
 
I was mostly hoping for Free Shipping.  I didn't really see anything I had to have.

But ryan_k helped me realize the gift card purchase was the way to go.  [smile]

I ordered a $500 gift card for $430, and no shipping charge. 
 
I had $800 in my cart waiting for this sale so anything I'd grab would get amassed into the shipping charge.  Saw the $1,000 gift card so I had to move 25 items to "buy later" so I could buy just the card!  I hoped you could redeem the card immediately, but I guess you have to wait for the physical card to arrive.  eh, no problem... then the other 25 items will drop.

I checked last night at 9pm and the sale wasn't on. Intended to check again at 10. It started, I believe a little after 10 my time.  Didn't see anything marked sold-out so I assumed sold-out items were removed from the list.

If there are gift cards left, grab them... it's 15% off!

I think that's by design.  If you got the electronic one right away you could use your giftcard to buy more giftcards and it would just spiral out of control  :o

I'm excited for mine, going to pick up a OF 1400EQ and a Kreg router table for my Triton.
 
Boy did I come late to the party, missed out on some fantastic deals, looks like things moved real fast

Oh Well [mad]
