    1 for the script kiddies to get, no one else

    Would it kill you to implement a Captcha?

    • YellowKnight on 31/10/2017 - 17:57

      I don't get what this means. ELI5.

      • satbot on 31/10/2017 - 18:02

        This means people (kiddies) have written code (scripts) to repeatedly try to buy the item the second it becomes available at 8pm. Everyday consumers won't be able to compete with the speed that the "script kiddies" purchase all of the stock.

        A "captcha" is one of those jumbles of letters you see on websites to prevent automated scripts from running successfully because they require a human to understand them and enter the characters to progress to the next page.

        • YellowKnight on 31/10/2017 - 18:42

          Kids have the ability to code this sort of stuff nowdays? I must be getting old.

        • BertieBrown on 31/10/2017 - 20:18

          @YellowKnight: I'm pretty sure that coding is routinely taught in schools nowadays, which to be fair makes a fair bit of sense considering that a lot of future industries are going to depend on that skill.

        • acky on 01/11/2017 - 11:02

          Script kiddie is someone who uses premade scripts because they don't know how to write their own.

        • satbot on 02/11/2017 - 13:45

          @acky: true but I wouldn't go into that much detail during an ELI5

  • currentfad on 31/10/2017 - 16:31

    How much for delivery?

    • toblerone21 on 31/10/2017 - 16:33

      $9 lol

    • spackbace on 31/10/2017 - 16:37

      Looks to be about $6.95-$7.95

    another competition?

  • toblerone21 on 31/10/2017 - 16:32

    plus $9 delivery probably

    I am setting an alarm for 7:45PM :)

  • smiles on 31/10/2017 - 16:49

    I'm sure these will be gone by 8:01PM.

    • doweyy on 31/10/2017 - 16:49

      More like 8:00:01

      • smiles on 31/10/2017 - 16:50

        or like 8:00:00:01

  • northshore on 31/10/2017 - 17:23

    I assume you don't need Club Catch to snag this deal?

  • BertieBrown on 31/10/2017 - 18:11
    +4

    Look, no offence intended to catch.com.au (I'm not trying to be a dropkick) but I know there's pretty well no way I'm going to be able to snag one of these seeing as there's only 50 of them so I wouldn't even bother. Is having such a low amount more of an attempt to bring customers to the site rather than move a large amount of stock for a reduced amount?

    • GregFiona on 31/10/2017 - 18:51

      Considering the fact that I was able to successfully pay via paypal within the first 10 seconds of the deal yesterday and my order got refunded by Catch because of "an error in their system", i don't think you have got any chances of getting one. I hope the Mods will ban this kind of deals as it's pure bait advertisement IMHO
      PS I have lodged a complaint with ACCC for the yesterday's deal

      • BertieBrown on 31/10/2017 - 20:16
        +1

        That's super shitty TBH; did they give any more information about that error in their system cause that sounds shady eh. Yeah, I'm pretty confident I wasn't going to have any joy. It really does seem like bait advertising to me too, particularly if you've got people buying the things straight up and they still can't deliver. I mean yeah, I guess first world problems but then why bother to have a deal that's for the first 50; again I'm not trying to be inflammatory, I'm curious because Bunnings will have a special on stuff or SCA and they'll have a ton of stock.

    • Pielo on 01/11/2017 - 07:27

      PRO TIP: use the official and much faster Catch app. Of yesterday's 50 buyers, 49 used our app, not the website. It's the best thing you can do for a better chance at that coveted 50@8PM steal.

      I guess they want more people to download their app?

      • mac2403 on 01/11/2017 - 11:27

        I used the mobile site, was pretty quick, no slow down at all.

    How is this a valid deal

  • teasatotalling on 31/10/2017 - 20:01

    Sold out in the first minute

    • Gabehcoud on 31/10/2017 - 20:06

      Hmm as did I. On patchy 4G mobile and having to log in. Maybe they didn't actually cap at 50 and let more through for some goodwill ?

  • m13 on 31/10/2017 - 20:02

    Better mark it as expired. It's 8:01PM.

    I had one in my cart, tried to check out, went through PayPal and then it came back to CotD and said it was sold out.

    • InfamousCalf on 31/10/2017 - 20:03

      Much faster checkout if you have CC instead of PayPal

      • m13 on 31/10/2017 - 20:04

        Bugger. Guess I know for next time.

    Thanks OP got one on my phone

  • awelch on 31/10/2017 - 20:02

    I had it in my cart, and pressed pay with my saved address/CC by 8:00:40 and it was too late. Grrr

  • Shads on 31/10/2017 - 20:03

    Hands aren't quick enough for the scripts. It's like going head to head with Django, you know it's not going to end well.

  • Surrealblank on 31/10/2017 - 20:03

    I gotta say though, it sold out within the first 20 seconds

    Thanks, surprised I got one :)

  • jackofspade on 31/10/2017 - 20:48

    Can't believe I got one. Someone must have accidentally entered 500 instead of 50.
