Huge half off sale at DealExtreme!

Wow thats great news , even I can get in on this one!

On no that’s the second time I happily follow your link to recognize that this hasn’t started yet…

Hi everyone,

Please try to keep this thread thread clean. There’s an edit button freely available… :wink:

Thanks a lot!

Ok, ok…I edited mine just in case. :wink:

Is anyone else having trouble knowing which items are 50% off? :frowning:

I m hoping this thread is for real.

50% off is a good thing.

Let’s go Deal Extreme. Is this going to happen?

Yes apparently we won’t find out until it starts and then it’s probably first come first serve. I also don’t know when it starts. 2:00am or 2:00pm? or in military hours, 0200 or 1400 hours? If it’s 0200 then that’s actually the 14th at 9 or 10pm for me.

What is the time on this? Is it 14:00 (2:00PM) UTC or is it 02:00 (2:00AM) UTC? Makes a big difference. If it's 2AM, then it starts (For Me), on Tuesday at 9PM CST, but if it's 2PM, then it starts at 9AM Wednesday CST for me.

How long does it last each day? It doesn't just run for 5 days straight. How long? 15 minutes a day? 1/2 hour? 1 hour?

Details might help stop the confusion in my old feeble brain!

consider that a free service care of their marketing department :confused:

lol yea, they are painfully slow. Takes almost a month for me to get something from them.

LOL your Americans with your weird units… :wink:
In UTC there is no AM or PM it’s the 24 hours thing.

02:00 is not 14:00, no AM or PM required to separate the times.
So it is 02:00 –5 =21:00 for you(in Texas) what is what you call 9PM on Tuesday.

For everybody else who is unsure, here is a nice site which shows you the actual UTC, and the time difference for most country’s/states.

This sale isn’t as big as expected. Only 800 products will be discounted.

and it starts at 4 in the morning for us central europeans, so the best items will be sold out before I get behind the computer (at 8.30 in the evening that is)

Yes, I noticed the 800 sku addition.
I think I will take a look, but I’m not going to wake up just to see the items. I had lots of things in my wish list hoping to see some of them half priced, but now I’ve lost all my interest

40000 sku at half price was too much

some AU direct 50% off discounts on DX

40.000 items divided on 800 products= average of 50 items on each SKU.

LOL… came across this in the link above:
Flashlight and MP3 player, all in one…
I would not buy that even if it was 70% off. :stuck_out_tongue:

I hope they will have something decent on sale.

Holy cow! You’re right! was that always there or did they just add that?

Unprecedented discount starts on May 15th.

800 SKUs,40000+ items are waiting for you!

What a bunch of rot! I'm actually regretting even posting about it. I'm going to have to find Sandy and ask her what gives. She told me 40,000 items would be half-price. A SKU is an item and 800 is not 40K. |(

:smiley: I really :heart_eyes: Chinese

They even made a video lol ” UNPRECEDENTED

Nothing to be upset… And well, it’s still 40000 items!

Smile for a discount sale :smiley: I don’t see why you all are disappointed that “only 800 products” are on sale.

For me it’s because she told me it was 40k items that would be half off and said how huge it was. She asked if I would mind posting about it and since 40k items at 50% over 5 days is huge, I agreed. Now I feel taken advantage of. Maybe there will still be some good flashlight deals.
