Butane torch(es) - $0.99 + shipping #DEAD#

[mikedw]

according the the rs csr..they have millions of these things in stock.........order as many as you want and dont worry about the quantity nazis.......

"Sorry, this item is either temporarily out of stock or no longer available on line. Check with your RadioShack store for local availability. Click here for the address and phone number of a RadioShack store near you."

Bummer, check back later.

Just as i thought. people ruined this deal before i could get one.
the CSR (who actually knew what she was talking about) said that they are COMPLETELY out of it, and will NEVER order it again, as it was a clearance item. the parts do not exist. so, if anybody who ordered more than *20* (mutter, mutter) would be so kind as to get me one-three, i'd appreciate it

not to be rude..but if you wait 4 days before you get on a deal...then chances are..no matter what it is.....it will be gone..if 1 person orders 1000, or 1000 people order 1, the net result is still the same

 

[Ranger X]

What's your point? It's better that 1000 enjoy the deal than one person enjoying the deal on his own.

Back in stock.

goddamn you people are all bitchy nowadays. what arbitrary limit would you whiners accept? 1? 2? 5? what's the difference? if the people who spend all thier time looking around anandtech happen to get in on more hot deals it probably just means that you have more of a life so why are you crying? look at me, now you've all got me pissed off...

 

[Chaosium]

hey, thanks a bunch guys, i appreciate it
(btw, the reason i waited so long for this deal was that i had to de-activate a previous credit card, and i had to have a new one sent to me...)

 

[Fiddy]

I can't believe these whiners. Wha wha wha. I didn't get one. Would you like some cheese with your whine? Haven't you heard the phrase, "Snooze, you lose". Jez, get a frigging life and get over it.

 

[Bob/NYC]

My 4 torches were sent out 9/6, but I'd love some wine and cheese.

Nifty, you can use regular butane lighters as refills:

Heh, I just took mine apart and sure enough it's just a plain old lighter with the flint and wheel removed and turned up kinda high. Also the lighter that comes in it is refillable.

 

[golfisart]

These make great cigar lighters when you are on the golf course. Ordered some for gifts. Thanks.

Every now and then Radio Shack as a good deal. You should also try to get in good with one of the B/M employees. RS Stores always have a big list of disco/devalue items that are never priced right in the store. You could find a Hot deal there as well. Ape Out

 

[rebuilder]

Received all 99 ordered!
Just kidding, simmer down now!
Pretty good for a buck!

 

[Inosuke]

If it makes those of you who didn't get any feel better, I'll burn ya a little with my torches. (provided that you pay me for the gas)

[brown234]

What kind of butane do you use in these things? I tried refilling with some "Ronson Multi Fill" Butane but the flame is extremely small compared to the origianl butane that comes with the torch.

 

[BANDITAENMASQUERADA]

This thread is so freaking funny. Yes, these are back in stock but I better not tell the "quantity nazis" how many I ordered. I know a bunch of boys that like to play with fire. Is there a B&M store that carries these?

 

[prodigy]

Just ordered 2 of them, Thanks!

 

[Kroffty]

I ordered 10. I am going to give them to my family for Xmas and get them all hooked on CRACK
