Amazon needs to treat its customers better -- sales with too low quanties will just send customers away.

I clicked on the button as soon as it popped! and still it didn't work and it's not because my mac isn't fast enough! I think that they website is just lousy!

The same thing for me. It says claimed, but now I dont know how to actually get it.
304550
Maybe it just comes down to peoples connection and computer specs?? I looked at the page for about 5 seconds before i clicked add to cart and i Got it!!
304551
Yes, I agree - I don't think it's possible to complete an order in 1 second - this is so disappointing!!!!

Same thing happened to me. If they didn't want to sell at that price, they could have at least let us know, instead of having us wait for nothing.
304553
The instant it became available, it said 27% claimed. Then I clicked add to cart right when the deal showed up. 100% claimed. THERE IS NO WAY anyone could have got through the checkout in less than 4 seconds, let alone have all the items be claimed. So glad I specifically got up early for that so called deal.

i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out everywhere even full price is a deal. i just think these deals don't really exist. i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out... » Read More i just posted a comment on a long list of mad people about this deal and amazon has already removed the thread of everyone's comments. hiding the fact of unhappy customers i guess. its not worth waiting for these as the same thing happened last year with everything. even the ones you vote on, does anyone know anyone who actually gets picked to buy any of them? i buy stuff on amazon all the time and figure the more frequent buyers maybe have a better shot of getting picked. i mean $79 for a Wii is crazy, they could have just sold them at regular price because considering they are sold out everywhere even full price is a deal. i just think these deals don't really exist. « Show Less

Same thing happened to me ... I think. It says "claimed" next to the item now, but it isn't in my cart. Has anyone ever won one of these deals? How do you claim it?

Because there was thousands clicking aswell as you and theres bound to be loads that clicked even a milli second before you! its an amazing deal everyone would have been on it! Common sense omg. I got a 42 earlier on the uk one for 230 pounds. I was on the waiting list with a poor chance of getting it and i still got it! People click straight away then decide and change their mind, i didnt think i had a chance but i did! So do you.

I'll add another in the chorus of frustration here. . .I even had the stupid thing in my shopping cart from a couple of days ago because I was doing research on some other components I wanted to order at the same time. I got a "nice" message when I logged in today of the (multiple) price increases. Come on, Amazon, that's like walking up to someone in the store and putting a new sticker on something in their cart!!! On the bright side, however, this TV is $2,999 at Best Buy. . .and I'd have to pay 10% tax to boot!

yes i know, i got it. because people are saying they got it today and yesterday. I was wondering, did it go back on sale?(upper right corner)

Not sure what I did right, but I got one and live on the east coast. For future reference, I had the Today's Deal up on the page with the countdown clock for this deal. As soon as the time expired the deal came up and clicked immediately on Add to Cart. Was already logged in and ready to check out. Think it just comes down to luck for these deals.

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

jesus..... people are so ridiculous. You can never get a straight answer about anything on Amazon. Does it click or not? lmao

I know its ridiculous. I had been trying to hunt one down also and finally got my hands on one. My suggestion would be to try Newegg and J&R because both have options to request an automatic notification when the product comes in stock. Both retailers had units in stock last week but sold out very quickly. Last I checked Newegg had an ETA of 11/22 and J&R told me last week they'd be getting more within 1-2 weeks but they allow you to add it to cart and pre-purchase now which will ensure one of the units in that next shipment will be yours. Between these two choices I'd go with J&R if at all possible only because there'll be no tax and free shipping and as a bonus you can use Amex points if you happen to have any and purchase through shopamex.com. The strategy that worked for me was to signup for auto-alerts from both of these retailers and I also created a Google alert to be e-mailed anytime a new post appeared that included "Aspire Timeline AS1810T" as well as a Bountii alert. I know it sounds like overkill but I was concerned it would only get more difficult to get one the closer we got to X-Mas so I chose to cover all possible bases and it worked-got one of these puppies in my hands in less than a week. Anyway best of luck - I assure you its worth the wait it's a great little machine.

Well just found out my estimated delivery date would be June 6th. They tried to tell me "when something is shown as temporarily out of stock"... um yeah, IT NEVER ONCE SHOWED THAT! This has truly been a pathetic experience with amazon. I am incredibly disappointed.

Thanks Sharon! Great tips! I, too've used the 'save for later' method, which does give you price updates, but only when you add something to cart and only until you leave the page...and good luck actually FINDING anything you saved, like you said! There's not even a search feature! It's page-by-page or NADA!

Yeah, I clicked add-to-cart about 1 second after the lightning deal started but it was already sold out. They must have only been offering like 50 of these things or a whole lot of people wanted it.

I'd really like the deal to come back seeing how the Amazon Store Card's poor implementation is what prevented me from taking advantage of it last week. Response in 30 seconds? Try 5 days, after which the deal was over. Not to mention I got denied because GE Money Bank couldn't "verify my identity". What a joke. Amazon, you should realize you're probably losing more sales than just mine because of this garbage company.

+1. I waited diligently for the Lightning Deal, clicked "Add to Cart" the second it popped up. It sat there "getting deal info" for a few seconds, then went to a grayed out "Waitlist full". Periodically the grayed out "waitlist full" button will become an "add to cart" button again, I click on it, and it goes back to the grayed out "waitlist full." I don't think I'm on the waitlist, I think I am just screwed.I don't go on amazon to gamble with my time. This is a bs gimmick. It wouldn't surprise me if hackers have some instant click set up to grab them. I sit there hovering with my mouse, and I have pretty good reaction time -- probably like 1/3 of a second. +1.

Hopefully this is a mistake by Amazon. It happens from time to time. Other retailers have it as low as $279.

I clicked on the deal the very second it was available - the next ten minutes, I got "Checking Deal Status" and it just kept churning. Amazon site is very screwy today...why the hell do we spend hours here to get deals that are seemingly impossible to get?
