    WTH

  • bathuu on 02/02/2012 - 19:10

    As I assumed not many of us scored the deal after all.

  • CarbonTwelve on 02/02/2012 - 19:10

    I got screwed over at the start as I had one in the cart from before the special started, as I thought it would update the price. But nope, ended up with 2 in cart for the $1296 price. Had to remove, then tried to add, but got logged out… Was panicking. Managed to get through though, but bloody hell that was close…

  • abdalian on 02/02/2012 - 19:11

    Ordered mine at 7:07…
    Funny When I tried earlier and refreshed screen and kept trying, didnt realise I ended up with 4 orders in my basket and was accepting payment :P

  • datamile on 02/02/2012 - 19:11

    Got to past CC details 3 times. still didn't get it. Now sold out

    • blkcar on 02/02/2012 - 19:16

      I'm sure you be able to easily on-sell it here to someone who wasn't as lucky.

    • wasabisauce on 02/02/2012 - 19:16

  • MrGareth on 02/02/2012 - 19:14
    +2

    I was already logged into tricky dicky's before the sale started, as well as paypal. So it was just a matter of adding it to my cart, then clicking through the various buttons to order it :D That's probably why I was able to buy one so easily, I didn't have to sit there entering my credit card details or address details etc etc :)

    • abdalian on 02/02/2012 - 19:15

      I did the same and bought one! :D

      • glitchx on 02/02/2012 - 19:17

        did you get a confirmation email ?

        i did not get a confirmation email, but my order is listed on the orders page as being processed and the card was billed…

        • MrGareth on 02/02/2012 - 19:17

          I got a confirmation email straight away :)

        • abdalian on 02/02/2012 - 19:18

          I got confirmation straight away. and I also did a print screen of the page

        • abdalian on 02/02/2012 - 19:20

          It should say:

          Thank you - your order has been received

          Your order number is 120xxxxxxxxxxx

    • pandaroll on 02/02/2012 - 19:16

      I logged in too but the damn site logged me out every time I tried to log back in…

      • blkcar on 02/02/2012 - 19:18

        same here but then I got lucky, used paypal though to make it a bit quicker as well

      • CarbonTwelve on 02/02/2012 - 19:43

        Yeah, I got logged out as well, but I already had my CC details on my account so when I logged back in it didn't take too long to submit the order. I was about to change my billing address (it's being delivered to my work), but figured bugger it just submit. Lucky I did because it was sold out a minute after I ordered…

    • s_agno3 on 02/02/2012 - 19:16

      i did that too and got logged out…im assuming its beacuase i got too excited and put it in my cart before it went live.

      And it didn't recognise my password/email login multiple times too

      • abdalian on 02/02/2012 - 19:19

        Its funny, same happened to me, but i kept on trying

  • dexy on 02/02/2012 - 19:16

    Ok, I just cancelled one of the Camera, quickly check the website, the camera might be back up for sale if you are very quick

  • atlinus on 02/02/2012 - 19:17

    what the? what kind of 1hr deal is this? only last for 7 minutes.
    they must be trying to gt more accounts and detaisl to login to their webiste.

    this is crap.

  • bathuu on 02/02/2012 - 19:18

    it says low stock

  • neonlight on 02/02/2012 - 19:18

    Curse Dick Smith for server unable to handle traffic.
    Go on sell it to a foreign company as if I care! SELL SELL SELL and hurry up and SELL it!

  • freemoneyhunter on 02/02/2012 - 19:19

    Sorry, too late I already canceled to those people who were wanting one, very sorry.

    I bet Woolies/Dick Smith is trying to inflate their page hits and number of accounts so they can make the business look more enticing to potential buyers.

    • Tal_Shiar on 02/02/2012 - 20:02

      thats just stupid, its one thing to be disappointed, another to post a comment like that

      • pandaroll on 02/02/2012 - 21:20

        I was joking. I posted the deal and I managed to score one, so I have no reason to be bitter.

        • Tal_Shiar on 03/02/2012 - 00:10

          I apologize , I did not notice

  • CVonC on 02/02/2012 - 19:20

  • bathuu on 02/02/2012 - 19:20

    now out of stock again

  • dr_ rusko on 02/02/2012 - 19:22

    they still have it in stock for full price
    this is bollocks that they are out of stock

    • hijupic on 02/02/2012 - 19:27

      Is it still allowed considering they have stock and it is still before 8?

    • pandaroll on 02/02/2012 - 19:27

      Agreed…

    • CarbonTwelve on 02/02/2012 - 19:44

      They only had a limited number they could offer for that price. I'm sure they've still got stock for full price, but that doesn't mean they can afford or have arrangements with Canon to be able to sell more for $696.

  • freemoneyhunter on 02/02/2012 - 19:24

    1202021252537 02-Feb-2012 *********** 1 item 696.00 Order Cancelled
    1202021251834 02-Feb-2012 *********** 1 item 696.00 Your order is being processed.

    I the website crashed on me when I was making payment, I only reordered because I thought it did not go through, this was only one or two minutes but look at the order numbers, 700 orders on their website in just afew minutes. Likely they sold about 3000 cameras.

    • team teri on 02/02/2012 - 19:31

      Those numbers are not just orders - all the crashed ones are counted too, I got an on-screen reference number right in between your numbers - and missed out :-( No payment, no order confirmation.

      • team teri on 02/02/2012 - 19:34

        Wow, I just managed to order.

        After the above the camera was still in my shopping cart. It showed 0 stock, so I could not proceed to checkout.

        I reloaded the shopping cart every couple of minutes, hoping for a change in status.

        And there it was, just now, 30 min after sale started! Managed to pay with no problem. Order confirmation email received!

    • unity1 on 02/02/2012 - 19:31

      $2 million in sales under 8 minutes. Highly unlikely.

    • owenz on 02/02/2012 - 19:38
