  • What a waste of time waiting for this catch of the day. Can't even get in. Why don't they upgrade their servers then offer the good deals?

  • The keyboard is still avaliable
    i was able to get one quick but just refreshed then and its still there

  • How are you people getting onto the site? I keep getting that damn message.

  • Was looking at getting a wii and a wii fit…sigh..i wonder how long I would have to refresh the page till i get in..using up my lunch time…

    • Well, from 12 - 1, it will be for the HP Wireless KB/Mouse. Maybe Wii/Fit will be available in the next hour?

      • Yeah, i hope so. I thought all items will be on sale straight away. Pfft, gonna grab lunch now.

    • Firefox and Check 4 Change (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3028) are your friends on this one ;-)
      Set it for every 1 or 2 seconds and no need to refresh.

  • Back up?

    • didnt go down for me :)
      The fish is at almost gone

  • +1

    yeah site is down, or too overloaded, as expected.

    when will people learn… catch of the day is catch of the day… they need to upgrade there servers… :D

    look how many hits google can handle…

    load balance between a few servers wouldn't be a problem.

    at least they have a message letting you know this time.

  • Servers opened up again and managed to squeeze an order in.

  • Sold out.

    Not happy jan.

  • Sold out now

  • I added 2 on the cart and put all my credit card details and after that it crashed on confirmation. I'm not sure if I got it or not.

    • Check your account view my orders
      that will tell you

    • Order would have never gone through.
      Read the conditions.
      Limit of 1 per customer.

    • How did you manage to add 2? Wasn't the limit 1 per cust? If you do get both of them then well done :D

  • +2

    Damnit! Had one in the cart and went to pay and it is now sold out :(

    Oh well I'm ready for round two! And three and four and five haha. I love the thrill of the chase lol

    • thats the spirit

    • +2

      "I love the thrill of the chase", well that's one way of looking at, also called wasting people's time.

  • I had one in my cart, went and changed the delivery address and then they were all gone! bugger it, someone got lucky.

  • It didn't work none of the times. I tried 2 times adding the credit card and on the process page it crashed. It is not on my order history :-( And it was only 12:06pm

  • +1

    haha… this was fun.. now if only i wasnt at work and actually had work to do… i wouldnt feel so guilty :S

  • +1

    you know what would be cool… if they just keep a few in stock and then sell it tomorrow at the catchathon… then everyone would have a go :D

    • +3

      big possibility they'll be doing that with a message tomorrow:

      "Dear CoTD fans, we have just found a few left-over stock of product xxx in rat-infested warehouse. We'll include them in our catchathon so you can re-live all the excitement and anguish of our server crashes and un-payable items in your cart from yesterday's baitathon. Happy hunting!"

      • +1

        "rat-infested warehouse" maybe it is.
        QQQ said they have moved to a new one, maybe this IS rat infested. Wouldn't be surprised.

  • no idea how i managed to nab one…down to luck i'd say…

    is the twitter page updating to show what's coming up next?

    edit: do i have to join/follow it to view more than what it's showing at the moment? http://twitter.com/todayscatch

  • Coming up next on Baitathon II @ 1pm - Deal or No Deal DVD Game. FREE! Just pay shipping.
    So I'm free till 1:55pm :-)

  • yep, deal or no deal dvd is next

    • +2

      NO DEAL

  • LOL… so does that mean they have 24 items and 1 for every hour??

    guess wii and wii fit wont be till the end since they want all of us to wait around and keep refreshing cause I'm sure a lot of you want to get those…

  • Coming up next on Baitathon II @ 1pm - Deal or No Deal DVD Game. FREE! Just pay shipping -

    • really? might as well go to lunch then!

    • Wonder how much shipping is going to be to post a DVD… ;)

  • and it starts all over again…

    • Not as bad as the previous deal, in terms of trying to get on the site. putting my bargain hat on, $1.10 should cover for postage for a DVD! Given that they are sending things out in bulk, I seriously don't think they would pay $4.95 postage for each game they send out.

      • They can use a prepaid satchel cheaper then $5.

  • Its terrible

  • +1

    haha… just got one… so if anybody asks me next time there is a baitathon… i can say i got somthing out of it…
    will probably use it more as a frisbee than actually playing it… LOL

  • NO DEAL to this catch

    edit:
    Also WOW COTD have already dispatched my keyboard, thats pretty good.
    Got a tracking number as well.

    • I'll swap u a brand new mystery DVD game for that crap keyboard if u want.. whatever

  • server meltdown over a cr@ppy DVD game.
    The COTD is smelling fishy.

  • Are there only 8 items in the baitathon or are there more?

  • Yeah, got myself a free, yet overpriced, DVD game!

  • How much was the shipping for the DVD?

  • +1

    4.95

  • -2

    hahaha… they has 3000 in stock and they are now almost gone…
    damn… guess there is a demand for this game…
    PS: if anyone misses out on this deal… i will sell it to you for 10 dollars plus shipping.

    • +2

      "i will sell it to you for 10 dollars plus shipping" is that a joke?

  • Great got 10.

    First time I got something in a Baitathon :-) Kids will have X-mas gifts this year!

  • -2

    DVD sold out as of 1:36pm.

  • +1

    Camera sold out.

  • How can you tell?
    Server is still down for me :-(

  • lol i got it into my checkout then i lost the server for 10 minutes. Seriously i hate it how it doesn't save your cart. zzzz maybe better luck next time haha.

    • -2

      "Whats In My Cart?

      Please note: Stock is not reserved until you complete checkout.

      Your Shopping Cart is empty"
      CODT is not a very good company.

  • me too… damn… so close… they asked me to re-sign in.. so close… had 3 people on the phone and all didnt have any luck too… need better internet connection!

  • lol and i thought i paid telstra all this money for something :P.

  • Jeez, I just keep getting SOLD OUT. I even missed out on the free DVD game dammit. :(

  • Up next on Baitathon II @ 3pm: Asus EEE PC 1000HE Netbook. Baithathon Exclusive Price!

  • sweeeeet… not too bad. lets see how it goes… and the rush begins yet again…. :P

  • Up next on Baitathon II @ 3pm: Asus EEE PC 1000HE Netbook. Baithathon Exclusive Price!

  • how much do we think that will go for?

  • and how many do you think they have in stock?

  • more importantly HOW MUCH IS IT WORTH?

    • The cheapest on staticice with free shipping is $659 @ Online Computers.

  • +1

    $600 my guess

    • +1

      If it's $600 then its hardly a MASSIVE saving.

      • it was a guess im most prob wrong

    • +1

      omg win

  • Last time it was on Catch it was $599.80 + shipping:

    Victoria Shipping $9.95
    New South Wales Shipping $12.95
    Australian Capital Territory Shipping $12.95
    South Australia Shipping $12.95
    Tasmania Shipping $12.95
    Queensland Shipping $12.95
    Western Australia Shipping $12.95
    Northern Territory Shipping $12.95

    But you got a $40 discount with PayPal.

    I'm guessing $549.95.

    • It's on now for the same price and same shipping, but no $40 PayPal discount

    • hmmm. i actually got it for $620 last time it was on? confused.

    • Where did you get 599.80 + shipping from for their last deal?

      Isn't this the last deal they had with the paypal $40 discount?
      http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/13779

      In which case it's $619 with PayPal previously?

  • 599.80 is the price
    with same shipping as above
    PASS

  • NO change in price from $599.80

  • passssss

  • Not buying it for $599.90

  • Whilst it may not be a super bargain, it is still the cheapest when compared to other retailers. I'd say this is a bargain for those who already made up their mind to get the 1000HE, but this ain't a bargain for 'impulse buyers'.

  • passs

  • laptop… lol no one wants it…

    almost gone 9:11…. still almost gone at 3:30…3:52 still almost gone.

  • anyone got a list and what time its on?

    • i think they mention it on twitter around 10minutes before it's released.

      • The twitter did not mention the camera @ 2pm.
        I guess its tied into their cr@ppy server :-P

  • Up next on Baitathon II @ 4pm: JAG Mens Short Sleeve Shirt. $4.95.

    • damn beat me to the punch… big deal!

  • -4

    probably in size XXXXXXL - fatties get ready to bid!

    • wooo hoo jag shirt here i come!

  • lol short sleeve business shirt.

  • +1

    wtf i went to pay with my cc and it just crapped out on me. Seriously this deserves a negative due to their shit server!

  • +1

    disappointed with the server

  • doesnt look like good quality… can get decent shirts from man to man for $10… so no deal for me…

  • Everyone must be REALLY keen on these shirts. It keeps saying that the server is at its capacity..

  • There servers really are struggling this time. The last sale they had like this, I could have got whatever i wanted with no problems at all.

    Its still a bargain though, even if the servers are crap.

  • +1

    well i give up. I think ive clicked the confirm order button about 50 times now lol. A shirt just isn't worth it…..

  • well I'm happy, I've finally got something. Nothing shabby about Jag quality.
