Yep, a little new VMP benefit. If we've got some left, VMPs can still buy till 6am eastern. (That's when we're gathering up the orders to start shipping.)
@dave Any thoughts on lifting (or resetting) the order limits for the next day? There's been a decent amount of stuff I haven't bought because 3 wasn't enough, 6+ would have worked however.
@dave (@snapster) I noticed this last night (and thought it was brilliant) when I logged on to my wife's buying account, unfortunately, I didn't have the time then to comment and I thought I'd wait to shape my post - in the end though, my query is simple and basic: I'd be interested if this change possibly goes to answer the overall question of whether or not the single daily deal remains a sustainable model. Are multiple deals perhaps next as Mediocre continues to evolve Meh.com?
@Zelucifer I'd love to give everyone at my vet's office a looney tune mp3 player. With three vets, they've got a fairly large staff and three players just isn't enough.
@Thumperchick@KDemo If cheaper items are a push or even a loss for Meh to sell to VMP members, guess what?
They're also a push or a questionable buy for VMP folks to buy on a second account that does not likely already have VMP - that is, the 5 buck shipping might make the second 'deal' a bit stinky. It's an option, but not necessarily a pleasant one.
@RedOak If you really need the extra orders, the $5 shipping charges value changes. The 2nd account may be worth it for that purchase, and eating the shipping fee becomes the cost of having what you want/need at a slightly higher premium, because you've added in that value.
The extra $5 being a factor on second accounts is obvious, which is why it doesn't happen every time someone wants more than the limit.
They really want to be rid of those things, eh?
@brhfl I did my part yesterday!
@brhfl - I really want one, but they don't work with iPad 2 or Blackberry. :-(
@KDemo As a diehard analog-watch-wearer, I love the idea… but I think it's just too chunky for my tiny wrists…
I'll wait for the next price drop.
@medz fuku...
Thanks for the extra time to buy, but have to pass on this one! Nice to get special treatment as a VMP!!
only until 3AM Pacific HA TAKE THAT CALIFORNIA

@Pavlov this change isn't really designed for us to sell more. VMP sales on cheaper items are often at a loss, subsidized by those paying freight.
@snapster Now I feel bad for buying all those multi-use lights. Do you want some back?
@sammydog01 only the ones with working buttons...

@lisaviolet Well, if you had bought three each time they were sold, you might have had enough.
@PurplePawprints The limit was something like 20 once for birthday favors. So no excuses.
@PurplePawprints Well, ya know, I'm old, I wasn't thinking that far ahead. I'm looking forward to just getting out of bed tomorrow....
@lisaviolet Your husband needs an account, just sayin'.
@lisaviolet 2nd account?

@RedOak
@Thumperchick apparently not an hour ago... so why the "2nd account?" tip?

@Thumperchick No more obvious than the tip to get a 2nd account. But the point is beyond belabored.
@Pavlov sellout.meh.com?
Still worth having an ad blocker.
@ACraigL, @gregormehndel - I use AdBlock Plus and the notice still appeared.
:-) Thanks for reminding me to disable my ad blocker on meh.com. All this time, I didn't even think about it!
Non-VMPs can still sometimes get this benefit by hitting up morningsave.com. Note: prices not guaranteed to be the same.
