  • out of stock on the 8Gb

    • now it's working again ???

  • Sold Out.

    • try again, it worked for me the second time…

      Am I suppose to restock it for you? You have no reason to neg.

        I apologise. I assumed without checking that flingshot was the OP. I'm tired of their deals that sell out in short order because flingshot don't sufficiently restrict the quantity available to each buyer. I'd remove the neg, but it's already been done for me. I'll be more careful in future.

        • Which deals specifically? We almost always limit our deals to 1-4 per customer when there is a high likelihood of selling out quickly.

          The 8Gb. Last time, the deal was insufficiently limited to four per customer. Item sold out in a couple of hours. I suggested back then that it be restricted to one or two per customer, and was howled down and berated. Now you've put the same $4 for 8Gb deal up again, with of course the same result. Sold out in in a couple of hours, with lots missing out. Did flingshot do anything different this time around, or did the limit of four remain unchanged?

        • Appreciate your concern but you have to understand that as a loss leader we need to minimize the loss as much as possible, allowing people to purchase up to 4 saves us money by consolidating shipping. I understand that you feel this was insufficiently limited, but over 600 people managed to get an order in…

          Also pretty sure that it took over 5 hours to sell out when we posted it.

          We didn't post this deal, we just had about 100 left over we wanted to move. I also think there is a option to subscribe to our deals so that you will be notified in the future and won't miss out.

          1. I would happily have paid $4 AND the postage - but that wasn't an option.
          2. On OzBargain, the OP was made at 20.08. So while you're pretty sure it took five hours to sell out, the 8Gb was reported as sold out less than 42 MINUTES after first posting on OzBargain.
          3. Unless it's a DIFFERENT model of 8Gb, it's hard to fathom how flingshot had 100 LEFT OVER when the previous 8Gb offer was SOLD OUT.
          4. Loss leaders are usually created to generate interest and goodwill. To the lucky 600, you may well have succeeded. To all those that were unable to place an order, don't be surprised if it has done exactly the opposite. I'll just avoid reading anything flingshot-related from now on. Like Catch Of The Day, it's simply not worth the aggravation.
        • it's simply not worth the aggravation.

          Mate, it's the nature of the game. You win some you lose some in the quest for bargains. If it causes you aggro, you can always not play.

          1. Yes you may have but that was not the offer, and keep in mind we started the offer at 4.95 and sold exactly 3 in the first hour I think…

          2. When I said it took 5 hours to sell out I was referring to the original post which we made. And funnily enough when we found more stock we posted it as an update to another deal and they sat there for like 4 days not selling any! We only had a little bit of stock left due to canceled orders and a few people trying to order multiple quantities but we still had to sell it. By your logic it would be better off us not posting at all and no one getting the deal than us offering the remain stock at the original price so a few more people could get the offer.

          3. See above, we left some units to cover faulty stock, plus we canceled about 80 duplicate orders plus we found an extra box which we missed the first time around. The mystery is solved!

          4. Again I don't follow your logic, it seems you either want us to sell them at higher price which will generate less demand and then we won't sell out or have an almost infinite amount of stock so we will have excess stock at the end which we will then do what with exactly? I understand you are frustrated by missing out but your reaction seems counterproductive, I offered you a pretty reasonable solution which was to subscribe to our posts, your suggestion of us somehow rewriting the laws of supply and demand seems somewhat less reasonable.

          This whole thing reminds me of a very apt Simpsons quote.

          "Of course we could make things more challenging, Lisa, but then the stupider students would be in here complaining, furrowing their brows in a vain attempt to understand the situation."

          The lesson is never try…

  • Got one 32GB. Cheers.

    I come l@te to the p@rty, but OMG: "4 MB/s"=14.4GBph-data. This snail will take longer than 2hours to write. I didn't think it possible. It would rather be suited to a tv set-for PVR and such. But Gee, wow, isn't the major point of drives is that you'll want to xfer an =~ 0.1% portion from your Hard Drive to Flash media in minutes - not 2 hours!- but in a minima of time??

    Clearly the ratio '$15/32GB' Is A Crowd Fetcher in these parts; however, the slowest drive in the universe, plus a stock level of five??? I/we are on to -you- fling shot. We can shop better.

    :It is just as well drives are in the pipeline, from China, that will deliver to maxing out USB2.0-bus performance@ perhaps 2X the cost of $15 .. but surely, surely, this will effect an advance over today's trash that runs merely(4MB / 0.48Gbit) =6.666% x transmission bus USB'2' is designed of.

    • Oh my. And I thought I was spot on. (Perhaps not.)

    • Lol, aren't you the same guy who when we offered to match a crazy chinese ebay price on a 32GB micro sdhc you turned us down because it was "not fast enough"

      And yes you are onto us… We didn't post this deal btw, but we did have over 150 in stock at the time all of which are now sold.

    • uh-huh, I was indeed- though in the end opted for Sandisk microSD class 4 32gb from SS (not the Lexar), but with tried and proven random IOS performance I knew could be solid expansion to complement my tablet.

      And no worries~good to know; can rarely be too certain of whom's body is posting.

      • I followed all of that up until the second half of the last sentence.

      • *certain of whom is posting from these (anonymous) internet-aliases.

          You're trying too hard to use whom. About the only places in English where you use whom without sounding archaic are where it's the object, e.g. to whom did you give the flash key. Nearly everywhere else who is appropriate.

        • You can't be serious surely… The guy who posted this has been a member since 2011 and has like 97 posts!

        • But when you are writing out the slogans for your sandwich board "whom" just adds that little bit of extra crazy.

        • Yeah, just like the extra apostrophe's. :)

        • lol

        • Free grammar and word usage school for me. High fives dudes. :)
