      Floodgates opened about half an hour ago, got 3 in Adelaide and 1 in Perth!

      It opened last night, and they were flooded for the whole day today. The floods have only begun subsiding around 8p.m. AEST. Big tragedy!

    Don't understand why each state only gets allocated maximum of 1000, but all day it did look as though people were able to buy as well. Seeing that 70,000 people clicked on Ozbargain, I thought they would have sold at least tens of thousands of cards by now.

    So did people really spend all day crashing the site and not really buying at all? I have to say that when the Sold Out sign was posted on Ozbargain, it was smooth sailing since and I was able to proceed with my purchase. I was able to see how quickly it sold out in each state but at least I didn't spend too much time getting error messages tells me nothing.

    So by being too desperate to get it at the start, people were actually creating problems for themselves. Towards the end when most people gave up, that's when most of the transaction really took off. I got a few, and seeing from the post, many cruised through too. Lesson learnt: when a site is Ozbargained, no one gets anywhere. Just relax, go do other things, come back at a more quiet time, and voila, you can grab yourself a real bargain. Otherwise, you could find yourself frustrated all day trying to nab a deal that only saves $10.

    It is interesting to see the power of Ozbargain today.

    • SomeGuyOnOzB on 28/09/2011 - 23:51

      ah, but by not checking on things earlier, that's how I missed the Dick Smith anniversary eneloops both times :)

      As for this deal, I tried a few times earlier and a couple clicks across the day, gave it away and happened to check back at night, around 10pm.

      I'm thankful it was overloaded long enough that I could get it when I got home :)

    • ccrap on 29/09/2011 - 00:11

      whatever, that lesson only works in this particular instance. More often than not crashing servers mean unless you get in somewhere during the reset cycles, by the time the servers get stable the deal will be well and truly plundered and over.

  • braddsey on 28/09/2011 - 23:42

    Wow that was a fun day!! Got 4 of these… maybe the crappy server is a way to make sure OzB doesn't clearout the entire deal before most people wake up like last time!

    Man the Internet is pissing me off today, had 3 goes at this and missed out, and tried ordering on ebgames and when I submittted my order is died and my cart emptied. (atleast I know where to going my laptop accidentally on purpose dies)

    I have received redemption vouchers via email for orders I paid with my credit card but have not received a redemption voucher for the order I paid with my paypal account, even though they have taken out the funds. Any one else in the same situation?

    • EnALup on 29/09/2011 - 07:32

      yes. they have confirmed the payment and the sale, but no redemption voucher.

      • zzyss on 29/09/2011 - 08:57

        Ah, so misleading. The first page says you have to collect from the place nominated, and they do have "Bunnings Warehouse" printed right after "none ph:000000"

  • Wish on 29/09/2011 - 08:06

    Apparently the voucher is just for yellowpages reference so you'll have to wait to receive the physical card in the mail.
    Has anyone used these cards before, is it true it's only one card per purchase?

  • randoom on 29/09/2011 - 08:17

    Yay, got 2 for the one order. Redemption voucher went straight to spam so check there anyone who's missing it.

    it cracks me up the people who neg the deal because the server was slow. A deal is a deal and I think this is a good one. If people were patient they could have easily got the deal last night like I did (at 7pm). No wait, no crashing, straight through confirmation. Sweet!

  • zzyss on 29/09/2011 - 16:02

    DISCLAIMER: I work for an IT testing company, and yes this is opportunistic and self-serving, but I want to ask a question - if you could have changed anything about yesterday, what would it be?

    I'm guessing that they only had 1000 cards for each state, and the only reason it didn't sell out in the first 10 minutes is because their server sucked and people were only able to check out due to luck (and madly hitting F5).

    Assuming that the parameters of the deal can't change, would you rather than the servers COULD handle the load and have the deal over and done with quickly, or would you rather that the servers simply degrade gracefully and serve more meaningful error messages, or <insert your suggestion here>?

    • kirt on 29/09/2011 - 16:20
      +2

      if you could have changed anything about yesterday, what would it be?

      $10 for a $30 card?

      • zzyss on 29/09/2011 - 16:40

        LOL, thanks, but I did say "assuming that the parameters of the deal can't change" :P

        But if we're going to be like that, dream big! $10 for a $1,000,000 card :-)

        • kirt on 29/09/2011 - 16:49

          OK fair enough.

          How about some sort of staggered system that somehow "reserves your place in line", with a coutdown timer or something…ie:

          "We are getting hammered atm, but once the timer reaches zero, the Order button will be enabled"

          …or:

          "We are getting hammered atm, but you will be able to place your order in xx minutes time - we will send you an email when your order window is available"

        • zzyss on 29/09/2011 - 17:16

          I've seen one system, and I'm not sure of the specifics, where the server "maintains a lock" on a transaction using the browser session, so as long as you are able to initiate a transaction you should be able to complete it.

          However, as mentioned before, this would probably lead to the offer being razed within mere minutes of availability.

          Is "first come, first served" fair?

        • kirt on 29/09/2011 - 17:23

          Is "first come, first served" fair?

          Ozbargainers like to share - degrading gracefully to allow others a chance is the way to go IMO.

    • ccrap on 29/09/2011 - 17:36

      I think queue in combination with staggered release:

      If you don't want it to fly out in the first 5 minutes, then a staggered release system would be the way to go. So for 1000 cards, 100 cards are released every hour on the hour or 50 every half hour. Of course that would lead to a server crash each time it was something o'clock or half past, so also have in place a queue system which allows 1 user into the transaction server every 30-60 seconds, while other users get a screen saying how much time before they get in based on their position in line. Anyone who is outside the 50 to 100 limit gets a notice saying allocation met for session, try again in 30 minutes or an hour..

      Don't forget me when you make millions using my idea :P

      • zzyss on 29/09/2011 - 22:22

        Well, at least the first part of your idea is a bit like how Crash of the Day already works, where they have a deal each hour, although yes, a different thing is offered - but in past experience it works much the same: an orgy of refreshing, finally the item is sold out in 15 mins, followed by 45 minutes of disappointed ranting - but at least the server gets a rest.

        That level of granularity might not go very far towards solving the problem, because it would still result in too many people slamming the server, except now they actually have an incentive to keep it up for the entire day.

        But if there could be a light-weight ballot system so that the server could handle many more requests more efficiently, and a separate transaction service (which only selected "winners" would be able to get onto via a unique link so that they have a smooth checkout process) - that might work well.

        Interesting thought!

        And yes, in the impossibly low chance that I do make millions selling the idea to Sensis, I'll keep you in mind :-P

        Thanks! "Delivery is estimated to take 14 business days"
        I think like a lot of others, I misread the response time as 14 days rather than 14 business days. It is a litte different to write it like that - usually see things as 5 business days, etc. Have not seen longer periods phrased as number of business days. Would have been better to phrase it as 3 weeks (assuming no public holidays).

        • the discombobulated… on 21/10/2011 - 11:54

          100% agreed. A really bad way to state something simple. I got bitten by the same thing at Deal Extreme in the same way. That was 21 business days (effectively a month and a bit that time - there was a holiday) which was an interesting way to learn the fun and joy of "business days" estimations. :)

      They take the delivery details from your PayPal account. A fair few people don't keep that up to date so I'm betting a lot of complaints they get about lack of delivery would be due to that.

      Bit wary whenever I see spelling errors, etc. in an email.
