I’m a member. It’s all @Therealjrm 's fault. Still trying to learn this get up! Hey @sammydog01 please give me the head’s up on the Mehrathons! ~WWW from W
@sammydog01@therealjrn Still trying to learn, I stupidly stayed up 'til midnight following the countdown thinking that’s when an IRK would drop. I was wrong lol. It’s just totally random on random days, right? I did however, get a LOT of great deals with the connected sites last night. I went a little nuts. I tend to do that.
@sammydog01@WendyWensDay Uh…I think the IRKs are more of a Mehrathon thing. I don’t remember ever seeing one that wasn’t connected to an event or birthday or something.
@therealjrn@WendyWensDay Back in the day irks (fukus, fukos) were sold at rollover just like every other product. Then mehrathons became a thing. They often have one in the first hour or so.
Pastadrop happened because restaurants weren’t buying pasta during the shutdown so likely a one time thing. But who knows.
I’ve just resigned to fuck it. 5 years and I have never been given a “surprise” for being a VMP. They allow “members” to have our status. Except for the fact casemates makes up for my lack of not having a turd icon, it would be there yesterday. I used to snag IRKs at 4pm EST. Now, even at 6am, I am shit out of luck. Not that it really matters. Go look at morningsave, this is the white wine drinking housewife site anymore. No care for loyalty or commitment.
@KNmeh7 this last Mehrathon was literally half IRKs… You didn’t manage to score on all day? I’m sorry you missed out, but also jealous of your lack of regret and the fact that you are now slightly richer than me as a result. ps. I also hate that they got rid of VMP hour, but they do still occasionally toss us a bone where they send us to a custom sale on Morningsave or Sidedeal…
@KNmeh7 I think they have care for loyalty and commitment. It seems more for frequent forum commenters then for our loyalty/commitment of longevity and payment consistency.
@rpglimitbreak Oh, aren’t you cheeky. Welcome to the party, btw. I see you are new. This is not “overstock” it is like that show where they buy shipping containers not knowing what is in it.
Hey! This can be sold for some money. This is meh. They are not overstock.com. They are “we bought all this returned trash, of which, some can be viable, so let’s sell it.”
Apparently I need to make funny comments to be considered a valuable member. Which, is really odd, for a business that wants to make money. Which I stupidly pay.
@KNmeh7 Did you miss the free pastadrop? Not interested in the 10% off at sidedeal and morningsave? Probably time to drop it. Just remember the recent announcement that the price of membership is going up unless you’re grandfathered.
On the plus side having to pay shipping means fewer impulse buys.
@sammydog01@therealjrn Absolutely. Also, you didn’t need to kickstart or keep your VMP. You can just pick and choose when to become a “member” and viola. Free shipping. I believe only McAfee paid more to have been shit upon.
Am I the only one who finds the incessant whining by many of the VMPs more than just a little irritating & annoying at this point?
We get it. You joined early & apparently got some benefits early on that you believe should somehow continue in perpetuity.
But, that’s not how they are doing things, so, you know, live with it or maybe this ain’t the site for you anymore. I don’t know, maybe it bothers me more than it should…
They don’t do member hours during the themed ones, just the regular ones. Which are still stupid often.
@sammydog01 Wouldn’t the VMP hours during the recent Birthday Mehrathons negate your claim?
@mike808 No it wouldn’t. Those were around as standard mehrathons long before the themed ones.
The lack of a Mehmbers-only hour affects Mehmbers too. As a VMP, I consider that a perk.

@WendyWensDay I’ll try but the emails are more reliable. Do you get them?
@sammydog01 I don’t usually check my email because it reminds me of the thousands I have to delete lol. But, I will now! Thank you Sammy!
@sammydog01 @WendyWensDay
Hay there 2WD! Are you having fun yet?
@WendyWensDay They’re funny. Totally worth it.

@sammydog01 @therealjrn Did I just read below that you are doing pasta drops again?

So their marketing strategy is paying off just as they want it to.

@KNmeh7 It’s a for profit business reselling overstock, not, like, a family or a pet or a friend.

@KNmeh7 @sammydog01
What if I AM a grandfather? Will I still get free shipping?
@sammydog01 @therealjrn Absolutely. Also, you didn’t need to kickstart or keep your VMP. You can just pick and choose when to become a “member” and viola. Free shipping. I believe only McAfee paid more to have been shit upon.
@KNmeh7 @sammydog01
I GET A FREE VIOLA??! Man THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVAR!
Viola today: bassoon tomarrow
@Lighter
Too bassoon?
/giphy perkies
Past VMPr here. There was a Mehrathon yesterday?
@RedOak It was on Friday the 13th.
@Trillian there was a Mehrathon Friday?
I wouldn’t hate more perks. But I’m loyal, committed and relatively happy. If you don’t wanna be a VMP, don’t be a VMP.
Seriously with all of the whining.
/giphy fuck off already

@elfunkman
You are not.
@elfunkman as is the whining about the whining. The titles of these posts tend to be pretty transparent. Why read them?
/giphy jealous?
