    Woot! Was ready to pounce on it on right on 9:00:01pm.

    Can't believe I made it through checkout! Hectic I tell ya, hectic! First time I've made it through a crashathon with something in hand. Past attempts page wouldn't even load with F5. Maybe my luck has changed…or they upgraded their servers?

    Got:
    1 x Remington C2000 Crimptini Ceramic Crimper () = $0.00
    1 x Sony PIIQ Headphones - Brown () = $0.00
    1 x Hasbro U-Build Monopoly Board Game () = $0.00
    1 x 1 x Random Zhu Zhu Pet! () = $0.00

    Sub-Total: $0.00
    NSW Shipping: $0.04
    Total (inc GST): $0.04

    Freebies just made my day!

    • swimmingtoad on 15/11/2011 - 21:20

      Yeh, their servers didn't fully melt down this time.

        • Elijah on 16/11/2011 - 00:50

          lol calm down Pete, my reasons are quite valid ! NO stock and it sat here for 1+ hours stating the offer was STILL Active, when everything vanished in a few mins, hence WE CAN ! Thanks for showing us your TRUE POWER !

          No you cant - why because you never said that first time, before your vote was made. Instead of attacking me for enforcing guidelines which are put up for the good of the site. You go your merry way and get all huffy when called out. You can neg a deal, but at least show the courtesy in following the guidelines.

          NO stock and it sat here for 1+ hours stating the offer was STILL Active, when everything vanished in a few mins

          If you said that FIRST time your vote would have stood.

        i was waiting 20/30 mins before 9 and tried to log in but kept logging me out then finally got it working and everything sold out by then! lol

        • joannatan on 15/11/2011 - 22:29

          very weird, i was waiting 10 second to 9pm, then refresh got the all 6 items, some already got warning almost gone at 9.01pm

    positive from me, got all 6 freebies with only 5cents shipping.
    If not for this post, I wouldn't even know about this sale, thanks heaps OP

    • swimmingtoad on 15/11/2011 - 21:24

      5 cents shipping?!! you got ripped off!! mine only cost 4 cents

      • kfh_9118 on 15/11/2011 - 21:30

        no, that's because it's under 2 separate transactions. I chose 4 freebies first not realising there are another 2, then checked out and pay 3 cents shipping.
        Then, found out there are 2 more freebies (the pet and skate and pay another 2 cents.

        really surprised the server didn't crash this time.

        • grab_ur_freebies on 15/11/2011 - 21:57

          I checked out twice too thinking it would be like usual & I wouldn't have a chance to get even one, so I checked out with one item first to secure it, before checking/finding out if the others were still avail. Only 3cents so what the hey. Beats getting nothing eh?

    • grab_ur_freebies on 15/11/2011 - 21:32

      Cause ppl are timing out & items in their cart are being return to the pool of stock. Keep trying as you still might have a chance, however slim it may be! Go Go Go!

      • bliinded on 15/11/2011 - 21:54

        That makes no sense since the items aren't "reserved" until you complete checkout.

    A Current Affair and Catch of the Day are just as bad as each other.

    Both promoting crap, can never believe a thing either of them say

  • wisc on 15/11/2011 - 21:29

    erm is it just me or is it only a very few crappy items that are free?

    (most seem to be paid items?)

    23 minutes past nine.

    • fermium on 15/11/2011 - 21:34
      • Sony PIIQ headphone is not crap.
      • FCUK gift set is the same as what you'll get at DJ/Myer
      • Skateboard: can come in handy if you have a child/nephew etc.
      • Hair crimper: I actually need one of these as mine broke last week. Talk about perfect timing.
      • Monopoly board game: meh
      • Zhu-zhu toy: meh
      • pilchard on 16/11/2011 - 08:28

    Ordered the Sony Headphones. Also took the Remington Crimper; i am sure i am never gonna use this but what the hell!! its for free

  • alebox on 15/11/2011 - 21:39

    just bought the crimper. amazed that at 9:40pm there was still stuff there.
    wish i logged on earlier, the skate might have been cool

  • Grimezy on 15/11/2011 - 21:40

    Spewin' missed out on a Zhu Zhu Pet…

    Somehow I managed to get the Headphones and The Straightener, now I can finally listen to music while I straighten my Hair!

  • blablabla23 on 15/11/2011 - 21:40

    i'm no expert when it comes to perfume but does a FCUK-branded 3 piece perfume set normally cost $125?

    • fruxo on 15/11/2011 - 21:42

      Usually about $29 at any pharmacy etc for those sets I think. But I'm no expert either, so I might be wrong, maybe it is some new scent that would then cost more for a while (although I doubt it). But they always have very high "original prices" that means nothing.

      • blablabla23 on 15/11/2011 - 21:46

        Yeah that's what i thought. A quick check on Amazon showed the Sony headphones to be $30-ish when they advertise the RRP to be $89. But then again, you can't beat the $0.01 price tag so no complains here.

  • Bigsta on 15/11/2011 - 21:43

    all sold out for me
    1 x Hasbro U-Build Monopoly Board Game

    1 x Sony PIIQ Headphones - Brown

    wtf. while i'm not a fan of cotd, negging just cos you were too slow and just cos its cotd is stupid. i got something 40 minutes after the hour! of course the good stuff was gone by then. ppl on ozbargain should know more than anyone how quickly good and FREE stuff go.

    the one thing i'd say about this freebie 'sale' is that rather than limited 1 of each item, should be limited to 1 free item total.

  • pinktasha on 15/11/2011 - 23:03

  • NiteMice on 15/11/2011 - 23:42

    My first experience even nearly getting anything @ COTD. Tried to add the items to my cart, and it just claimed it was empty and that i wasn't logged in. Re-logged in, re-added items… nope. Tried again & again…ARG! Stupid thing! Badly designed, total con, telling me lies. Well done to those who got stuff
    Better luck next time, i guess…

    • [Deactivated] on 15/11/2011 - 23:53

      Happened to me too but I managed to get a few things. It's what happens when websites get overloaded.

  • [Deactivated] on 15/11/2011 - 23:51

    I got 4 items. Can't complain. For people who missed out stop hating on freebies if you didn't get any bad luck maybe you shouldn't bother trying next time so we can get more free stuff.

    So I put my stuff in my cart, as usual it was sooo slow, then suddenly it was sold out, but i managed to pay at the check out and my order went through

  • Jayze on 16/11/2011 - 13:09

    was able to secure 1 x Razor Sole Skate - White at the last moment. there was a long battle to keep staying signed as soon as i add item to cart. finally got through.

    COTD is fine - there giving us bargains everyone. You guys cant get everything for free! geese

    ACA is a not news its entertainment according to them and it should be taken off the air- its a rubbish show that lies and preys on cheap irrelevent stories.
