Buy.com DOTD predictions for the upcoming week.. ugh!

[scythic]

I _hope_ these are wrong. My source doesn't have definite information...

As these are an advance notification of hot deals, I think it is appropriate to post them.. I wish someone had done this for earlier ones -- it is just plain annoying to stay up past midnight before waking up before 6am hoping for something good and being disappointed, or not staying up and missing out on something like the Sony notebook deal.

MrBakaSan - Nope, I don't know where you post your information - if you don't mind telling, my email is my nick @ yahoo.com

This is a ROUGH list - the general idea is here, the days are probably shuffled slightly, and I'm not allowed to post the prices. The DOTD links and SKUs _will_ be different. Pick and choose when you want to wait up...

1) Golf Balls, already on special for $15 - Maybe just better placement as DOTD
http://www.us.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=100004571&loc=110

2) Peter Frampton DVD
http://www.us.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=40136823&loc=107

3) CCNA Certification kit, with CDROM
http://www.us.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=30576077&loc=106

4) Home stereo component (DVD player? Receiver?)

5) Set of speakers w/ subwoofer, too lazy to find link

I didn't get the links for the last two. Sorry.

Thanks, scythic. As always, we appreciate the heads up...

 

[403Forbidden]

hehehe i too hope you're wrong on the golf balls...

if the golf balls do indeed become the DOTD, I will have to
say those would be the coldest balls ever in the history
of all internet deals

 

[Maverick319]

At least golf balls have a use, WTF would anyone do with a Peter Frampton DVD? I have all the coasters I need courtesy of AOL.

 

[FrontlineWarrior]

My dad would love a golf ball DOD

 

[Passions]

group buy on da balls

 

[namlook]

A Peter Frampton DVD? My God, the DOD will be sinking to new depths there. I say just make the Dreamcast the DOD everyday.

 

[Unclemo]

The DODs are really just starting to become clearance crap. I don't even bother checking anymore.... then again I missed the ram... but that isn't that great.

 

[pjs]

Woooooooooowwwwww!

Really exciting, almost as exciting as Buycomp DOTD on chastity belts!

[VisionsUCI]

hahaha... yah, thanks for the heads up. keep 'em coming!

 

[wjones]

Thanks, scythic!
I think I can go to bed early in these few days.
The only thing i'm slightly interested is ther "Set of speakers w/ subwoofer". But seems like buy.com doesn't have decent home theater speakers set (not the PC speakers).

 

[Cheese78CA]

scythic or anyone have any idea when the next free-shipping days will be at Buy.com?

 

[MrBakaSan]

hmmm....

very very interesting.....

however you're getting this data, I know for a fact that you can't be getting it from the actual system databases.....we enter the DOTDs on a weekly rotation, so there's still one item left for tomorrow that has to cycle through before the next batch of 7 DOTDs.... so none of those items are in the system yet..

(I also notice that you don't include pricing...also perhaps indicative of not going straight into our data...as I've mentioned before, I'll often post prices and quantity else where on the web.. )

so, if this is accurate, your source would be someone who has access to the master calendar of items that are scheduled to go DOTD...and there aren't many people w/ that list... interesting....

(btw, I've seemed to notice that we don't follow our master calendar *that* closely, but it's fairly accurate...)

anyhoo...to finish up this week's rotation...nintendo gameboy tomorrow...

 

[her209]

They had a Sony notebook for DOTD???? When was this?

 

[huesmann]

Long ago, her209.

 

[bigbootydaddy]

what about an over the body condom??

imagine latex..it would be a "hot" deal

 

[stonerdave]

scythic, thanks for the info.

 

[FuzzyBee]

FWIW, I have heard that the Frampton DVD is a pretty sweet disc for showing off your DTS system. May have to pick that one up.

 

[MrBakaSan]

kekeke..
time to go back underground and keep my posts to a tigher circle of associates...

anyhoo...some parting words...
just looked at the latest data loads....

highlights....
canon 2.1 Megapixel digicam...
peter frampton live in detroit...
a celeron system...
a sony p3 vaio notebook...
a sony FRS radio set..
and a ricoh color laser printer...

as always..good luck all and the data is always subject to change per merchandising whims of those in other departments....

the buy.com IT mole who's going back underground now...

 

[Insomniac]

<< I'll often post prices and quantity else where on the web.. >>



Anyone know where?

 

[Sybren]

How do you find the DOTD right when it is posted? Is there a link on the buy.com main page or smth, or is there a trick to finding it?

 

[gman98]

scythic: If you get any info on the dotd's for this coming week, I would be very grateful if you'd post more info about the Sony Vaio laptop MrBakaSan mentioned! I missed out on the vaio a few weeks ago...

Thanks!

 

[Wonderwall]

Hehehe same here
A heads up on the p3 laptop would be much appreciated!

 

[scythic]

I won't try to go in advance as far as I did.. my crystal ball gets too hazy...

The closest two appear to be either
(A) the Sony FRS radio, Grey
http://www.us.buy.com/retail/electronics/product.asp?sku=90007120&amp;loc=825

(B) the Ricoh AP204 laser printer
http://www.us.buy.com/retail/computers/product.asp?sku=10042119&amp;loc=257

The Sony Vaio in question appears to be rather late in the cycle. I am also interested in it.. but since I'm a nice guy, I'll give enough information to give you all a fair chance -- Your best bet of getting this item first is probably to be to refresh the following
URL on the right night:
http://www.us.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=70001728

I believe it will be a VAIO PCG-SR series.. which is their lightweight.. screen size is a miserable 10 though There is a rebate, here:

[gman98]

Thanks for the info scythic! Much appreciated although I was hoping for one of the F-series all-in-ones...or at least one with a bigger screen...

I sure hope your &quot;inside connection&quot; holds up so you can keep posting dotd info for us!
