@djslack@Kyeh That’s why I think it’s total confirmed (non-cancelled) sales plus time to sell out that will be important factors. I was OK with a pricey IRK until it was pointed out that the coupons likely won’t be transferrable.
@tinamarie1974 I’m sort of thinking that I’ll never get another chance to get fleeced like this, but I can’t work up the energy to watch the clock closely enough.
@simtel20 but it is not worth $80!!! I mean occasionally there is an extrodinary box, but even then, if I am spending that much money I am purchasing exactly what I want.
@durango99@mexicantacos
Judging from all the rage on the reveal threads every time, a lot of people can’t read.
This time they’ll be highly entertaining, I bet!

… But not Morningsave, Mediocritee, or the other mercatalyst sites? Why break from the constellation of mehmbership benefits?
This was posted on the offering during the mehembers hour:
MEMBER BENEFIT: Nope, there’s no special member hour today BUT all members who buy at least one IRK any time today will also get a $15 Mediocritee coupon to use over at mediocritee.com
@american_badger@mikey They used to have a VMP hour for mehrathons but changed it to a member hour. The pause on daily deals I think is just for VMPs. I forgot about that.
@togle You mean since Texas is also Central, so you were expecting them to use that? I guess they compromised by starting the day on Eastern time after complaints in the beginning.
So apparently $75 is the price point where they don’t instantly sell out, looks like we have achieved some mediocre data collection
@Einherjar13 i would have never guessed it would take this much keep even just 50 from selling out instantly.
I guess for some, the instant part of the regret starts early
@Einherjar13 @ybmuG Either that, or 5pm ET is when everybody checks on what their bots have been up to for the day.
@Einherjar13 @ircon96 @ybmuG Buy high, sell for zero.
I couldn’t go thru with it, I cancelled my order…
@futurian good decision
if they implement this higher priced ($10+ IRKs) only whales will be buying IRKs. feels like it completely loses the spirit and original intent
@durango99 I totally agree!!!
Want to tamper with the data?
Everyone buy at $90 instantly, then cancel after sellout.
@djslack I was just going to say - it would be funny if all of them got canceled on one of these sales.
@Kyeh spread the word… #buyat90!
@djslack @Kyeh That’s why I think it’s total confirmed (non-cancelled) sales plus time to sell out that will be important factors. I was OK with a pricey IRK until it was pointed out that the coupons likely won’t be transferrable.
Why arr people still buying these boxes?!?!?!?

@tinamarie1974
Lots of money, no brains
@tinamarie1974 I’m sort of thinking that I’ll never get another chance to get fleeced like this, but I can’t work up the energy to watch the clock closely enough.
@simtel20 @tinamarie1974 set a timer on your phone 20-30 seconds before the new one goes live.
@simtel20 but it is not worth $80!!! I mean occasionally there is an extrodinary box, but even then, if I am spending that much money I am purchasing exactly what I want.

Slowing down . . . Now we at 3+ min to sell 50.
Over a minute!
If this isn’t the optimized price point it’s getting close.
NOTE to MEH: optimized price point refers to fifty IRKs sold to wealthy lunatics, not optimized for customer satisfaction.
Starting to feel like the butt of a long joke…

@dasred
Or at least some kind of Pavlovian experimentation.
@dasred I want a giant unicorn cat.
@dasred @Kyeh … And a purse full of fairy dust!
@dasred @ircon96 @Kyeh And her hair and figure.
@dasred @ircon96 @werehatrack
Yeah, I’d settle for her figure!
/giphy laughter
I’m waiting for the $100 tier.
Oh sheeeeet.
/giphy bushy-bullish-polish
@Ark_kun I will never financially recover from this.
wonder if people buying read the actual IRK description or if they assume the IRK will be actually $75 worth of product.
@durango99 I cant read
@durango99 @mexicantacos

POPSOCKETS! COURT DOCKETS! FOLK ROCK HITS! AWESOME!
@durango99 @mexicantacos “read” is a mighty short cant.
@durango99 @Kyeh @mexicantacos I think customer service may be kept busy by illiterate fools.
/giphy whale watching
@duodec M R Not Wales.
Unbelievable - 45 bought so far !!!
wait, did we reach the bottom?
/giphy not possible.
So does this one include a coupon for $2.50?
/giphy fatal-listless-cook
Not an instant sell out but it’s close to selling out. When there is no correlation between price and items included, it’s pretty shocking
4 minutes to sell out…I think that’s a record.
That lasted nearly a full 4 minutes. Thats gotta set some sorta record right?
3 minutes 55 seconds by my count to sell out an IRK.
That’s gotta be a record!
This is like Meh’s version of the challenge from Brewster’s Millions…
Don’t think of it as blowing $75+ on IRK crap. Think of it as pre-paying $75+ on Meh things you’d buy anyway.
@aquastardreamer except it is 15 separate purchases for $5 off that must be used by the end of the year
@aquastardreamer $5 off on 15 purchases, that must be made before the end of this year. So, roughly one purchase every 10 days.
@aquastardreamer @CBL_WV
192 days to use them. I bet they’re hoping to drive up sales on Sidedeal.
@MrMikenIkes details details

@aquastardreamer @CBL_WV @earmstrong
Good question!
Yea, no
2 minutes in and still some left!
Still available at 2 minutes!
We found the limit.
Still there.
The number available keeps going down…
Wow, lasted nearly 4 minutes this time.
Was there a vmp hour?
@american_badger There hasn’t been a VMP hour for ages. No member hour either.
@american_badger @sammydog01

@american_badger @sammydog01 I bought a projector back in May that was paused for member hour.
@american_badger @PHRoG @sammydog01 really hoping it’s for VMPs, too, not just members.
@american_badger @PHRoG @sammydog01 now that is sweet as I buy there from time to time. All in at 90
@american_badger The real VMP hour was the friends we made along the way.
@american_badger @mikey They used to have a VMP hour for mehrathons but changed it to a member hour. The pause on daily deals I think is just for VMPs. I forgot about that.
@blaineg so true, friends don’t let friends buy junk alone. We buy so much junk
Price points should be randomized, and not n of one. This experimental design is very Meh.
“You bought 45 of these. We sold out at 5:03pm.”
It’s only 4:52pm? IRKs from the FUTURE???
@togle
You’re not on the east coast, are you. It’s only 3:55 where I am.
@togle The East Coast (and Ohio, FTM) is from the future.
@Kyeh @togle OR your computer/phone clock needs winding.
@Kyeh I’m in the Central time zone, so I couldnt make sense of it
@togle You mean since Texas is also Central, so you were expecting them to use that? I guess they compromised by starting the day on Eastern time after complaints in the beginning.
