OT: Jokersmoker: Addict or What???

[Ogewo]

my friend and i actually researched him on google....turns out he's a sophisticated hot deal search engine sent back in time to post PM+MIR+IR and free 80mm fan deals.

i honestly should write him a check for $49.99-%10(plus shipping) for how much money he's saved me.

thanks joker, how can we hook you up?

JokerSmoker as put me in the poorhouse finding the deals he does I always have to get in on them

Who remembers the $0.10 keyboards?!?

 

[PicPop]

he is better than other elite members.
I notice that most of the elite members quit posting deals after they become an elite member..

 

[XFreebie]

woah a poll

 

[xdjopmx]

i concur! =)

Also, cant believe that we have a poll in hot deals and it hasnt been locked!

i was wondering the same thing on my way home tonight.

 

[lebe0024]

Some people just have to be mean (you know who you are). I just wanted to say something about the awesome deals. If mods lock, no big deal. I think occasional threads like this are appropriate though.

 

[tops2]

joker's awesome!
can't even count the number of hot deals he's posted!
=)

 

[w3b]

Joker certainly doesn't need a post count

 

[justdad]

Were broke but we luv him anyway. Damn Him for finding such good deals all the time

 

[justdad]

Oh, forgot the question... well he is "or what"! The question should be what would we be without his deal finding perceptions?

 

[sygyzy]

Has anyone noticed that as a result of the sheer number of deals and generic nature of his posts, Jokersmoker is immune from simple criticisms that most deal hunters face? I definitely appreciate and admire his work but let's face it, none of his deals are hot. And none require any engineering of any sort which limits their hotness as well. I am really curious how he decides what to post. If you notice almost all his posts come from 3 places - Amazon, Target, or Kay B Toys (sp?). Of those he picks out clearance or outlet items. But I don't know why he decides to post say a toaster on clearance when he could post a hammer also on clearance. He is mysterious man. It's also interesting how he follows a very strict formula when posting deals and never looks back unless there is a major problem like a broken link. As for the criticisms I mentioned earlier, if anyone else posted the stuff he posts, I think most of us would get flamed.

The point is,
#1 Would any of us have found the deal had he not posted it? (no-people don't look, he does all the leg work)

#2 Do people find it useful? (yes, there are always plenty of responses testifying to that fact)

Thus, how not a hot deal?

Personally, I far prefer his "type" of hot deal to all that MIR & PM & PSOFA & RADGI crap. That stuff takes too much time & effort. I just want the cheapest price something I am looking for is readily available for and thats exactly what he delivers.

Now, thats not to say I'm not gonna use an X off XXX coupon and send in a rebate for something I need, but I'm not printing out receipts and arguing with managers and calling my credit card company etc, etc. I really don't see those things as hot because of all the work it takes. I mean, if you save $20, but it takes you three hours of work to do, you didn't really save any money (unless you work for free on a regular basis).

Besides people who B&M like that can ALWAYS get things a little cheaper. Problem is they give themselves heart attacks by the time they're 35 and nobody likes them...

Come on sygyzy, He has gotton us almost free stuff. Hot deals and more, and from different places not just the 3 you mention. Shame on you now be nice. Even if all he did was go to the deal sites that are found online he is still the one looking and finding as most of us would not take the time to find those deals. Even Before I joined this forum I would look at it once in awhile and see some really good deals. a lot of them were contributed to by jokersmoker.

 

[DrOrville]

JokerSmoker is definitely. Always hookin it up mad fatty like. Gotta respect the Jokersmoker.

Poll:

1. Lock this thread.
2. Lock this thread.

 

[CKDragon]

There are WAY too many mod-wannabes around HD anymore... it's barely even worth checking out for the sheer amount of jerks trolling just to say REPOST!

I'm w/ you on this.. Not all his deals are hot but ppl just won't flame him.. I guess that's why we have the "elite" status here.. They earned their respect. Don't get me wrong though.. I'm not saying he shouldn't post certain deals up.. There're always ppl that may find it useful.

 

[VisionsUCI]

actually, i believe Jokersmoker finds and posts many free deals. sometimes he does get flamed, as well, but he doesn't follow up his posts with subsequent support for himself, while others will moan and complain about how immature posters and flamers are.

 

[seabee]

you can say what ever you want about him and it won't hurt him because he doesen't take the time to read it!! He's out there finding us more deals.Thanks Joker

Joker does a lot of work and I thank him for it. I do have to go with sygyzy that most of his 'deals' are somewhat marginal. Not all, but most. I don't know if most of you have noticed, but he works on a another deal site. I can't remember the name of it, but I've seen it mentioned. I may be wrong, but I had the feeling that a lot of the deals he shares with us from scanning the various deal sites/forums looking for tidbits for his site. At any rate, his posts are more useful than a lot of others. For instance, posts in the HD forum with polls of all things.
