I got an email from Scoopon confirming the COTD flash sale. Below is the email:

The votes are in, and it's all about to start! Tomorrow (Tuesday) at 11AM AEDT, we'll be launching the latest edition of our "FLASH SALE" (our popular hour-by-hour sale where the products are decided by our customers). Simply enter the Catch of the Day site at 11 AM AEDT and we will be featuring 12 deals, one deal per hour on the hour. Here are some of the featured deals:

Apple TV – Just $39
Diablo III – Just $20
Traditional Black Havaianas – Just $1
Pandora Silver Bracelet – Just $10
WD 1TB Hard Drive - Just $49
Amazon Kindle - Just $59
and 6 more fabulous deals!

Remember, this is a members only promotion and as such you will be required to login to gain access. Also note that as always, the quantities on the flash sales are strictly limited and vary from deal to deal. We advise that anyone who may find a few server crashes or waiting around too stressful to give this event a miss. It gets pretty crowded, but there's always outstanding value in this amazingly democratic event!

It seem that they will be doing 1 deal/hour. I am not sure if its by the most popular order first or not.

If yes then it will be Diablo 3 from 11am-12am, then the Apple TV > WD 1TB Hard Drive > Amazon Kindle> Pandora Silver Bracelet and lastly $1 flip flop. They also said and 6 more fabulous deal, so may be they will might be doing the next 6 popular as well.
Good price but stock is limited and the server may crash. If you dont have the time or patient then just give it a miss as they suggested, dont go for it and then complain that they wasted your time. If you do have time and patient then good luck getting a great bargain.

Mod: Please let me remind you again the Voting Guidelines of OzBargain, especially regarding to the negative votes. We will revoke votes that do not have valid reason.

Not Okay —

COTD sucks

Okay —

  • Bait advertising — requirement membership but no stock
  • COTD's server crashes when I am trying to complete the transaction.
  • Their website is no usable.
  • Quantity is too limited to be called a deal.

    All I can say is good luck…it's every man for themselves. The last one of these I managed to have a good win, got the PS3, 3DS & the Nikon Camera. It's worth reading the COTD facebook page during these crazy sales…the whinging by unfortunates is gold.

    Another tip…always pay with Credit Card & not Paypal…the Paypal processing takes too long. You need to copy and paste that credit card number!

    • supercheap1 on 22/05/2012 - 11:18

      What a disappointment!
      11 am - $1 Havaianas but Black or white only, sizes 35/36 only and $5.95 for postage. I've bought them for $2 at Kmart previously, and in the colour and sizes that I want.

        12 pm - STANDARD definition set-top box for $19.95 including postage. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

          1:00:00 pm - 1:00:05 pm - Diablo III (for PC) $27.95 including postage. If you took longer than 5 seconds (after 1pm), all stock available for sale totally disappeared.

      • bob_wangkar on 25/05/2012 - 06:48

        zz. it already said on the cotd website after you like everything that its only available Black or white only, sizes 35/36 only. What it didnt include was the postage.

    • grapedrink on 22/05/2012 - 11:51

    Trying to get these items would be a complete waste of your time. It is we'll known that the product numbers of these types of items will be very low. COTD is balls.

    • camel_racer on 22/05/2012 - 08:15

      not only do they usually only have very low qtys of the items - but the website gets so overrun it pretty much goes down for the first 20mins of every hour and by the time you can log in it is sold out.

    • soupiejr on 22/05/2012 - 09:16

    THis is more like a lottery than a bargain….stock will be slow and their server will be sluggish or crash…good luck!

    • pilchard on 22/05/2012 - 08:47

      Exactly. It's a lottery post, not an actual bargain. Needs to be shifted to the forums.

    "Bait advertising occurs when a business advertises or offers goods for sale, knowing that it cannot supply them in reasonable quantities for a reasonable period of time."

    ZANG!

    • katsuya on 22/05/2012 - 09:58

      and why is nobody ever complaint to accc?

      • Domingo on 22/05/2012 - 11:53
        +1

        The ACCC won't do anything because they are declaring up front that they have low quantity and you're probably not going to get anything.

        Reasonable quantities is about what the consumer expects. They tell you what to expect.

  • overlook on 22/05/2012 - 08:35

    this is harder than winning lottery, coz if you won lottery, it wouldnt say "TIMEOUT" and sorry no more prize for you.

    my biggest monster to kill in these kinda deal days is always the fact that I CANNOT CHECKOUT.

  • vietbargain on 22/05/2012 - 08:35

    this is more of a competition where you have to pay for prizes, rather than a sale…

  • Spinner on 22/05/2012 - 08:35
    +2

    There is likely less than 100 items of each, so even if the 6000 people who liked each one on facebook are the only ones on the site, you have about a 1/60 chance.

    Save your time.

    • sasquire on 22/05/2012 - 08:44

      Ah! But are you saying that so you're the only person who turns up to purchase, leaving the rest of us in the cold? I'm on to you fellow.

    • pilchard on 22/05/2012 - 08:50

      1/60 is far better odds than the lottery!

    • WV1 on 22/05/2012 - 09:16

      More like less than 10 items. COTD should be required to state quantities available especially if they want to appear credible. As it is it is just bait advertising.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/05/2012 - 12:20

      I'm pretty sure the Havaianas never made the Top 6 in voting and they never got many votes, so it's definitely a fudge (if not fraudulent) that they included them with this sale.

      COTD are probably just trying to unload some of the 54,000 Havaianas they picked up last year: http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/news.php?article=565
