        Oh right,my bad, I forgot that us losers (c'mon lets face it) get something as well.

  • Benjamin2 on 31/10/2012 - 10:32

    Do we refresh the page on the mystery gift page where it says it's sold out?
    or do we click on the 'Welcome ACA viewers Get your exclusive giveaway here!' link when it comes to the time?

    I'm wondering which way works best!

    I LOVE THIS

    By entering CatchOfTheDay.com.au today, I understand that I'll be competing against 1 million other fast Aussies for just a handful of products and my chances of actually getting anything are about as slim as Victoria Beckham. But I'd like to give it a shot anyway and I promise not to whinge to my friends or CatchOfTheDay.com.au if I miss out.

    Wow. Judging by how fast those thongs were gone it is not even possible for me with satellite internet to stand a chance at winning anything

    • cwongtech on 31/10/2012 - 11:16

      The thongs are still there - except it's on size 37-38 (~size 6 US, for tiny feet haha)

  • [Deactivated] on 31/10/2012 - 11:12

    got the thongs.

      Me neither… every time I click add to cart the page just reloads.

      • somethingguy on 31/10/2012 - 11:23

        Same, and I've tried IE and Chrome. For those who got through, what browser are you using?

      • otohadesu on 31/10/2012 - 11:24

        Same, when I even mouse over the "add to cart" and click it nothing even happens, no sign of loading or anything =/

        • Ughhh on 31/10/2012 - 12:03

          Same here. Been using Chrome

    Diverted to new [you're not important, no freebies for you] page which says:

      I can't add it to cart.

      • IdLikeToBeATree on 31/10/2012 - 11:35

        I'd say the button stops working after it's sold out. The iPhone app seems to be heaps faster than the site. I got up to the payment page before it came up with no stock

  • morpheu on 31/10/2012 - 11:34

    man, i'm getting that "i wanna head butt the screen" feeling again! when it does load, and i can click to add the item, i'm either logged out by the system or i get past that and it says the cart is empty! not a level playing field here…

  • IdLikeToBeATree on 31/10/2012 - 11:42

    I don't get why they don't do 'unique visitors' instead of first. Like 269th visitor, 1538th and such. Makes so much more sense?

  • drmix on 31/10/2012 - 11:53

    I think they only have 1 item of each freebie in stock

    • grab_ur_freebies on 31/10/2012 - 11:59

      Believe it or not, COTD are not giving much away at all (especially expensive items); they are only clearing the stock nobody wants. Its all just a publicity stunt…who knows what happens behind the scenes…

  • [Deactivated] on 31/10/2012 - 11:57

    it is too fast for me. i think i only got the thongs because there were 180 of them.

  • boomerpro on 31/10/2012 - 12:01

    didn't even get the thongs..server lag!!

  • yeahitsme on 31/10/2012 - 12:03

    i thought it was ever hour? omg i missed out!

    • boomerpro on 31/10/2012 - 12:04

      don't worry, it's almost impossible to get anything unless you have a super good computer/laptop

        I didn't try my self(didn't know it was on) but it has nothing to do with your computer/laptop I believe.
        Its COTD shitty servers.

    I blocked all COTD CSS and it loads fine now. :D

    • leen92 on 31/10/2012 - 12:11

      what is CSS? please explain

      • grab_ur_freebies on 31/10/2012 - 12:13

        CSS- 'Cascading Style Sheet'.

      • machej on 31/10/2012 - 12:13

        Is the style of the site so many of the background graphics and all. I blocked it with Adblock plus and just only let the core things run.

        • machej on 31/10/2012 - 12:21

          Damn, now I just get the geez page. oh well I give up.

    • leen92 on 31/10/2012 - 12:18

      ahhh i see, thanks

  • [Deactivated] on 31/10/2012 - 12:12

    i am staying until the item with 800 appears. after that, it is probably a waste of time.

    i notice a lack of "i got an ipad" or "i got the samsung 19inch tv" posts, is anyone actually winning these big ticket items here, or maybe this is another "dick smith employee swipe-fest"?!

  • boomerpro on 31/10/2012 - 13:02

    what's with these "like us on scoopon" and "like us on facebook" deals……

    • grab_ur_freebies on 31/10/2012 - 13:39

      They want to take over the interwebz! One website at a time!

      hint they're short on no. & are recruiting…

  • yeahitsme on 31/10/2012 - 13:12

    i can load the page but when i click add to cart nothing happens…

  • frostee on 31/10/2012 - 14:42

    Nearly won a Leapfrog, missed out on the last payment step. Haven't seen this many people fight over one since preschool.

    • grab_ur_freebies on 31/10/2012 - 14:50

      I think it was the mums that were fighting over them…due to the kicking the baby is doing from the belly. "Waaaa, I waaaant myyyy Leeeeaaapfrrrog!"

  • mizazn on 31/10/2012 - 14:53

    I've come to the conclusion the only links that aren't working are the buy, checkout and pay links

  • wog_ta on 31/10/2012 - 15:04

    has nothing to do with internet speed, im on 75mb up and down and still cant get anything

    • morpheu on 31/10/2012 - 15:10

      interesting, so is it the browser? or some kind of hack?! i almost had that apple tv, i added it but then it was sold out as soon as it hit my cart, can someone PLEASE explain how someone can add & checkout in literally a few seconds?@#

      • wog_ta on 31/10/2012 - 15:15

          just because you miss out doesnt make it a scam

        • vid_ghost on 31/10/2012 - 15:49
          -1

          I add to cart.. i go to checkout .. its sold out.. all in a matter of 3-4 seconds.. 30 deals.. same thing.. this is a scam no human being can buy in 3-4 seconds with how slow the website is.

        • morpheu on 31/10/2012 - 16:04
          +2

          precisely my point-if it's so slow how can 5 people get the tv/iphone/3ds etc and checkout in like 5 seconds?! if the site is slow it's slow for everyone right? or does the site randomly pick 5 people and give them express checkout speed?
          this is a competition as far as i'm concerned, but there are no rules like in a real competition where they need to get approval numbers and the process can be scrutinized, here they get away with it because they "charge" you 1 cent for shipping, so it's considered a "sale"!

  • wog_ta on 31/10/2012 - 15:22

    ok, so anyone got ANYTHING today? Besides the earings from the other post

    • vid_ghost on 31/10/2012 - 15:36

      Nope… only the earings from the other post… im pretty sure .. about 100% sure that no one gets anything from catch of the day! … well maybe staff connected directly to the servers by LAN :) but no one else.

  • DVDGuy on 31/10/2012 - 16:56

    Got 7 items so far, 8 if you include the free earrings from their other site:

    • Samsung DVD player
    • Havaianas
    • Lego® Atlantis Treasure
    • Dunlop Rapid 27" Tennis Racquet
    • LEGO Star Wars Republic Starfighter
    • Unisex FILA Oval Black Sunglasses
    • DeLonghi Nespresso Coffee Machine (my catch of the day … only had 6 of them suckers)

    I'm posting as LMG on WP, I have links to screengrab of invoice for LEGO Star Wars for proof (not really though, since anyone semi-clever with HTML can fake it).

    Forget doing via the web. You have to use their iPhone app to do it, it's the only way (or there is a HTML page floating around that allows you to quickly add stuff to carts, enter your CC details … but you need to know or guess the item ID first).

    • samp e on 31/10/2012 - 18:07

      I've been trying this as well, I haven't gotten anything but it's definitely the fastest!

      Well done. :D

  • DEvok on 31/10/2012 - 19:36

    I wonder if the mystery gift from yesterday is goona be from something that' is from today's birthday bash? Maybe an iPad would be nice! All of those who have missed out on today's stuff, literally deserves something nice, agreed?

    I have to say, it's almost impossible to win something, I even bet no one on the ozb community has even got something from the birthday bash of COTD.

    • wog_ta on 01/11/2012 - 00:02

      the only way to maybe get something is using the ios app with credit card details, possibly pre-filled

    lol got my watch, wont even turn on. hunk of crap never even made it inside, dropped straight in the bin on the way past from the letterbox :)

    COTD the one thing we can always rely on is the disappointment you share with all of us :)

    wonder if its to late to get a refund

    • Pry on 16/11/2012 - 17:25
      +2

      It was $0.01. Mine works just fine, sounds like most others do too. While it's not something I'm going to use, I can't be disappointed about it. Not exactly sure what you were expecting :s

      • NosDan on 16/11/2012 - 17:28
        +1

        it was pretty much exactly on par for what i thought it would be. it also ended up exactly where i assumed it would which is why i stopped by the bin to open it before bothering to take it inside :)

        the fact it didnt even work just made it all that more satisfying

        • Pry on 16/11/2012 - 17:41
          +2

          Well then, since you got exactly what you were expecting, no reason to want a refund :D

        • NosDan on 16/11/2012 - 17:43
          +1

          just like this COTD item, that was simply a throw away comment and if i was serious i wouldnt have been asking on OZB and the watch wouldnt still be at the bottom of my bin somewhere :)
