@studerc Thanks for saying what the first 2 were. I just noticed the steal-a-thon and it was on 3 and they don't have links for the other ones. I was just curious. I don't do iThings so we'll see how it goes. I hope there is more than just apple products
@CozzaFrenzy Saw that...i think they finally got the logistical bullshit out of the way. I'm curious what happens with the hour if there is a sell out. Not sure if the IMAC and AirPort counted for the steal-a-thon...
is that retail price for refurbished condition? these prices are pretty decent, but to compare refurb cost to retail cost is difficult to wrap my head around. .... kinda meh.
@chellemonkey they've got a ustream going on the stealathon page. @editorkid - it's meh. mostly sounds like a sales pitch. the rush live feed was at least entertaining.
@editorkid yes. they were doing shots of vodka for a hot minute... and this was the result of drunk thinking, perhaps? I'm inclined to say its just a silly effort to get increased social media interaction.
All in all I was pretty happy with the steal-a-thon actually. Started out very glitchy and very slow but ended up getting multiples (2 or 3) of 5 of the items. Easy stocking stuffer and re-sellers.
I have been enjoying it for background noise and the 'deals' haven't been horrible. $5 for some things that would make more than decent white elephant / stocking stuffers (everything with free delivery). Its entertaining watching them figure it out - glitches and all.
RIght now they have an ipad at 1/2 off and meh beats them by far on battery prices. They have 80 for $24 and here it is 80 for $10…well $15 if you don't already have VIP shipping.
Thus far I've seen:
Apple AirPort: $50...Retails $99
Apple iMAC Computer: $250...Retails $999
Macbook 13.3" $629...Retails $1299
@studerc San Diego Property Taxes ate up any extra tunas we had this month. Sad.

worst. steal-a-thon. ever.
@carl669 I tweeted that to them a few minutes ago
@lichme ha! i just got back from lunch and this item was still up. i almost tweeted that to them as well.
man these are incredible deals
SO ANTI-CLIMATIC....seriously though, deals are adequate, but this process is just the worst.
is it just me, or does the live feed sound like some home shopping network show?
@carl669 I don't have the live feed up, is it worthwhile or shitty like many of their deals...
@carl669 wait they are live streaming the whole thing?
@chellemonkey they've got a ustream going on the stealathon page. @editorkid - it's meh. mostly sounds like a sales pitch. the rush live feed was at least entertaining.
@carl669
For posterity: next deal
Creative MA2300 Headphones $5...Retail $39
Does that guy only have half a mustache?
@editorkid yes. they were doing shots of vodka for a hot minute... and this was the result of drunk thinking, perhaps? I'm inclined to say its just a silly effort to get increased social media interaction.
@CozzaFrenzy I dunno... are deal-a-day buyers so dead inside that that's going to be something we tweet about? But thanks for the explanation.
@editorkid sorry, i was so caught up in the steals that i tried to sell half a mustache idea.
@editorkid @CozzaFrenzy Wait if we do a live stream we can do shots at work? COMING SOON: MEH LIVESTREAM OF NOTHING IN PARTICULAR.
@JonT The catch is you guys have to do Drinking Terrible shots.
@CozzaFrenzy It did get me to ask here. I guess that does count.
@JonT I would watch that.
@JonT Why aren't you already drinking at work? Also, you could always have a webcam of the lunch area or the product testing area.
@editorkid Yeah, he started rush with a beard, and shaved it for the followers, this is an extension of that.
weird, I tried to click on the imac to see what the specs were and got kicked out of the steal-a-thon and can't get back in
@Pantheist seems to be gone, not sure what happened.
@Pantheist Sold out pretty quick.
@Pantheist I was just sitting with the page open and just tried going back to it and it is the main page. It's over?
@chellemonkey yep. all done
Ah, alright then, I'll stop trying to get back in. Thanks everyone :)
@Pantheist okay, so either there was a two hour technical glitch, or they are having a second steal-a-thon right now.
All in all I was pretty happy with the steal-a-thon actually. Started out very glitchy and very slow but ended up getting multiples (2 or 3) of 5 of the items. Easy stocking stuffer and re-sellers.
The deals weren't bad but nothing I wanted.
@DaveInSoCal and it seemed kind of short.
@chellemonkey Yeah, those were the fastest hours I've ever seen.
Just got the mouse figured why not have back up
@Foxborn it almost makes me wish I still was big into gaming....and had a computer worth playing on
@Foxborn I thought about it but do I really need another corded mouse, even at $5
@nadroj I only use wireless it's for a friend

@ilovereality free delivery is a great idea. I'm glad they implemented that (for now, anyway).
Another steal-a-thon is currently in progress. Pretty decent thus far. Check it out.
meh. cheap chinese stuff they claim is good.
How much was the bar tools set?
@chellemonkey $6
@DaveInSoCal got one
I bought a couple of the 1000LM flashlights, at $10 each can't go wrong.
@Saffer49 I almost bought those but the non-standard batteries spooked me.
@Saffer49 I got too two
@hallmike that was the main reason i passed I them.
RIght now they have an ipad at 1/2 off and meh beats them by far on battery prices. They have 80 for $24 and here it is 80 for $10…well $15 if you don't already have VIP shipping.
