The 10% off CC coupon is inaccurate. Here are the real terms.

This offer is also good for 5% off Compact Digital Cameras $249.99 & up. Offer is also good for 20% off select cordless phones. Offer is good when you buy online & pickup in store only with coupon code C9A74ZKAHP. Offer good for one use only and applies to total qualifying purchase on a single sales receipt dated between 10/9/08 to 10/11/08.
@y2julio: I think CC coupons ALWAYS have those restrictions. I've been keeping my eye on a SLR for months and can never get a CC coupon that actually freaking works even though I've seen so many.
@savvy999: I'm not going to spend $50 on a pair of pants unless I think can get $54 million for them later.
@Ben Popken: touche. I'll just print out the pict from the previous Morning Deals post and tape it on my monitor. :)
@floridarob: You're telling me. I keep refreshing and by the time I get into the store they're sold out.
Fuck stupid stores that can't figure out how to increase their servers for on-line gimmick sales.
Damn, I was vigilantly watching that countdown on the Diesel website, and the second it hit zero, I refreshed. Diesel's servers got clogged, natch, but I was still able to get through. Grabbed my size, and went to check out and the server refused to load the page. I checked other sites, and it wasn't my connection. It was definitely Diesel's, and I tried again and got "Item is no longer available," but afterwards, I kept trying with other sizes and got through to the shipping address page. I finished, hit continue and it sent me to the home page.
Called customer service and they said they sold out in seconds. Called the Chicago store and they won't do store to store or store to consumer shipping for the Dirty Thirty. Curse the Dearborn, MI store for not carrying them.
@anonymousryan: They shouldn't have let me add them jeans to my cart if they're sold out!! *goes to Macy's for clearance DKNYs"
@anonymousryan: Or maybe they just think "We have X qty of special-online-sale-item in stock and have server capacity for Y amount of traffic. That should be good enough." Of course, this doesn't apply to the 19.28 hotel deal of recent infamy, but I think it applies in general.
I'm guessing everyone who was able to get the jeans were able to do so without experiencing any site lag. Besides, what's the sense in spending more money to sell something you couldn't get full price on in the first place?
I was on at 10:30 and still couldn't buy them, it said the item was out of stock at 10:33AM!!!. And I wanted them for my job. I am a 20 year old student and I work partime at Metropark. A new clothing store marketed at 18-35yr olds. We only carry premium denim like True Religion, Rock and Republic, Mek, Diesel. Which means that it is what I have to wear to work. I work partime and as our economy spirals downword so do my hours. I have gone from working 20 hours a week to 10 if I am lucky. While I do get paid a decent amount for the work I do ($10.50 an hour) my paychecks are getting smaller and smaller. I can't even afford the jeans we carry even with my 35% discount. I thought this would be a great deal for me. But nope, Diesel just wanted to toy with me by letting me put them in my cart then yanking them out when I went to the next step. The second time I tried it actually let me get to fill out my info then BAM right back to the "We are sorry but the item is no longer available".
I called the NY corp office to express my unhappiness... the person that answered said "oh, well, you're in the same boat as everyone else" when I asked her name, she said, ok, bye bye.
I called Milan, got transferred 3 times, spoke to a nice girl in customer service but got no where.
Called a store and they said they could take phone orders after noon if they still had any.
@Keen314: That takes more time, plus knowing Gamestop's price would give me a baseline.
Still not a bad idea.









Anyone know the trade-in value for Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (the game only) at Gamestop? I've been needing to get a 2nd guitar for Rock Band (my GH3 one was fritzing out, so I traded it with the game).
