    all gone.

    IMO there should really be zero negs… its a pen that's free. free is free… everyone knew that there would be limited stock and that it would 'sell' quick but if someone missed out that's not really a good reason to neg anyways. I got one… i'm happy… positive vote from me

    • x Moe on 01/06/2010 - 19:17

      completely agree!

    COTD, I unlike you. I am not your friend. Why? Because you waste my time.

  • ZaFrOoNaLdO on 01/06/2010 - 19:14

    I got it.. few seconds after that my friend said its sold out. I probably got the last one! :) thanks!

    Sold out now. I managed to get one. Thanks George. :-)

  • focused77 on 01/06/2010 - 19:16

    Yeah it was a valid deal.. I got one.. +ve

  • carlenet on 01/06/2010 - 19:17

    Super! Got one on my account and one for my Mum on her account! Thanks heaps!

  • sublemon on 01/06/2010 - 19:18

    This would come in handy for people with upcoming exams. You can never have enough pens in your pencil case.

    Anyway the deal is good but the way they went about it wasn't. Bad luck for those who liked it and didn't get one.

    site has "500 Pens snapped in 6 minutes! Check Facebook on Wednesday for another interesting giveaway"
    server load test passed with flying colours!

    • georgejungle on 01/06/2010 - 20:06

      I had a suspicion that this was being done so they can check out the amount of load they can take :-)

      I reckon look out for something similar on wed. worth < $5 but free (P&H also)

  • PorkHunt on 01/06/2010 - 19:22

    I got one too thanks for the deal.

      thats pretty much your fault

    • xers on 01/06/2010 - 19:42

      Are you serious?

        Ignore him he always negs stuff for no reason prob has the most negs cancelled from mods on this site
        some it up he is a tool

    • tomsco on 01/06/2010 - 19:43

      Suck to be slow. Maybe next time try getting on earlier and NOT NEG A DEAL JUST BECAUSE YOU MISSED OUT.

      I hope they find that you used the same address multiple times so you get NOTHING.

      • tomsco on 01/06/2010 - 20:13

        Personally I hope he's just kidding, and just trying to wind up all the haters on this page.

  • anastasiastarz on 01/06/2010 - 20:08

    got one

    Hi guys, I'm very surprised to see a 70+ vote post on OzBargain come out of the blue, as always very grateful.

    Something I asked our fans on Facebook was for suggestions on future "word of mouth" type promotions. I had a few interesting responses posted, keen to hear any of your suggestions as well.

      just dont copy this one below

      {$20 Worth of Shopping Square Vouchers}
      http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/26091

      it all went bad and they lost a lot of buyers / sales

    • georgejungle on 02/06/2010 - 11:58

      I think you really need to change the "Sold Out" before the deal becomes available to "Upcoming"… Looks to be causing nothing but confusion (and neg votes!)

  • bragains on 01/06/2010 - 22:59

    George,

    How do I claim for warranty on a product purchased from COTD about a month ago (digital weighing scale)?

    Thanks.

        Thank you. Doing that now.

  • rack on 02/06/2010 - 14:41

    500 pens sold old in 6 mins. How do we know you are even giving out 500. Maybe you only have 100 pens in stock.

  • [Deactivated] on 02/06/2010 - 17:30

    Missed out o-o!

  • swimmingtoad on 03/06/2010 - 08:54

    Got my pen this morning! Only got the one ink cartridge though…

  • melgirl on 03/06/2010 - 11:05

    Got mine this morning too. just wondered if the ink cartridge run out where i can get it from…? anyhow, better than nothing. very happy:)

    • georgejungle on 03/06/2010 - 16:45

      Maybe COTD will be selling some for $50 each in the next couple of months! :-P

  • anastasiastarz on 03/06/2010 - 16:09

    Recived. It doesn't look like a parker pen, and part of it is covered in a strange white powder.

    • swimmingtoad on 03/06/2010 - 16:19

      bonus coke? sweet

    • fuzor on 03/06/2010 - 17:08

      yeah that was a bit weird. isn't something you'd expect from Parker. Its still good :D i'm happy

  • Trance N Dance on 03/06/2010 - 20:28

    Mine got shipped out this today :D

    • stumo on 03/06/2010 - 22:52

      hahah T'nD, "this today", as opposed to all those other todays you had lying around aay :)

      ps. I got mine this today as well.

      pps. mine had the coke residue on it too.

      • [Deactivated] on 04/06/2010 - 13:17

        Got mine as well. My powder coated pen was not coke but anthrax.

      • Trance N Dance on 04/06/2010 - 15:26

        Haha whoops typo.
        Was gonna say this arvo, but then changed by mind and typed in today without deleting the "this"

  • Afurotsu on 04/06/2010 - 11:10

    Mad, the plastic packaging of the pen I received had a small dead spider in it.

    But hey, FREE PEN! Thanks!

    • georgejungle on 04/06/2010 - 12:27

      wow. you got a taxidermed spider for free? jealous.

  • tomsco on 04/06/2010 - 11:40

    Got mine. Now that everyone is receiving their's (and the people who missed out were because they took too long), maybe we can see a few more neg votes revoked.

  • tomsco on 04/06/2010 - 21:23

    Did anyone else's pen come with "protection"

  • Chux on 06/06/2010 - 07:22

    im tempted to literally wash mine to get all that powder stuff off… but cant complain… free is free

  • leonheart1 on 07/06/2010 - 15:57

    Hooray! Got the parker pen! :D
    No spiders in the packaging of my pen though (un)fortunately.

  • arthy90 on 07/06/2010 - 19:40

    Recieved.. But if its a parker (which i doubt it really is), its the worst they have made.. i wouldnt pay 50c for this, i prefer my average woolworths bic pen..

    • tomsco on 07/06/2010 - 19:45

      Nah uh. Kilometrico FTW.
