        COol.

        Paypal seems slow…
        Do you people think paying with a credit card would speed everything up tomorrow?

        • monicaaar on 30/10/2012 - 21:21

          I reckon cause you won't have to load paypal and stuff.

        • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2012 - 21:51

          have your CC number ready to ctrl+V and it will be for sure

        • Tal_Shiar on 31/10/2012 - 00:01

          credit cards will most likely be processed later than paypal transactions, food for thought

        • [Deactivated] on 31/10/2012 - 10:12

          does it matter?
          once you confirm the order, you're in
          when your money changes hands is irrelevant

    • jpike8 on 30/10/2012 - 21:16

    COTD's disclaimer is amusing..

    By entering CatchOfTheDay.com.au today, I understand that I'll be competing against 1 million other fast Aussies for just a handful of products and my chances of actually getting anything are about as slim as Victoria Beckham. But I'd like to give it a shot anyway and I promise not to whinge to my friends or CatchOfTheDay.com.au if I miss out.

  • Shwayne on 30/10/2012 - 21:21

    We paid $3 for a cd with crappy AV software on it last time, somehow I doubt 1c is going to get you anything less than poo in a bag.

    Why would they fork out money to ship anything if it wasn't rubbish that absolutely had to be disposed of.

    • monicaaar on 30/10/2012 - 21:22
      -1

      then why are they going to ship out ipads/ps3/kindle etc.. tomorrow for 1 cent?

      • cyssero on 30/10/2012 - 22:10

        Are they releasing 1000 of these per hour? :)

        • Ace on 31/10/2012 - 02:37

          They're giving away like 3-4 of each in total…

    • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2012 - 21:23

      I think they got paid by the AV company last time, so COTD must have made money from the ordeal.

  • Brooklyn99 on 30/10/2012 - 21:23

    By funding out just $0.01, I wonder if the bank's fraud system is going to flag the transaction for reviewing hehehe…

        Can't see any

      • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2012 - 22:02

        10pm stock sold out in under 30secs ?

        • bargin424 on 30/10/2012 - 22:03

          impossible, i was on it right on 10pm

        • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2012 - 22:04

          i noticed the 9pm one came on about 10 seconds before 9pm
          perhaps these are being done manually, not automatically, and they are having a problem with the 10pm one

  • RainbowHands on 30/10/2012 - 21:54

    1000 empty envelopes, lets hope we get a 50c stamp out of this

    • skeptik on 31/10/2012 - 00:08

      Well, be prepared to be horribly disappointed OR happily surprised, in an OzB sorta way.

      It'll either be a postage label/imprint OR a 60c stamp, 10c more than you hoped ;D

  • sheikyerbouti on 30/10/2012 - 21:58

    They probably sell your mailing addresses and details on for a lot more than it costs them to send you some 5c piece of junk.

    Surprisingly fast with IE.

  • letmecry on 30/10/2012 - 22:06

    Keep pressing F5 but it always shows sold out.
    How could you know that's all gone or they haven't put anything in the system yet?

    • letmecry on 30/10/2012 - 22:07

      Ahh.. just got 1.
      They're a bit late.

  • RainbowHands on 30/10/2012 - 22:06

    qld/vic is 5 mins behind sydney time? or they just did 10:05 on purpose?

    re mystery gift i think for 1 cent COTD will be shipping out their old slow servers from the last crapfest that made them more enemies than friends…..hmm, come to think of it, i want 50% off my 1 cent! [;)
    ps store credit is ok!

  • parcus on 30/10/2012 - 22:09

    Oh wow, actually managed get one.

  • machej on 30/10/2012 - 22:09

    Won't PayPal charge them 30 cents or something? I don't get why they would want you to pay 1 cent.

  • Yacht on 30/10/2012 - 22:09

    on ACA the rep from COTD said that the itmes had a $20 RRP?

    • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2012 - 22:13

      really?
      i'd have thought it would be something like a party popper or sparkler.

    • monicaaar on 30/10/2012 - 22:14

      yes that's what he said! :)

    • leen92 on 30/10/2012 - 22:14

      so that means they're actually worth about $3 then? :P

    Sweet, just refreshed at 10:07PM, order went through at 10:09PM.

    Here's a bit of nostalagia. First order with them in 2006, order #1660. For this deal,4600000.
    *Numbers rounded for privacy

    • machej on 30/10/2012 - 22:16

      I guess they are a little popular. They are Australian posts BIGGEST customer. Which is amazing to think.

    • Elijha on 30/10/2012 - 23:09

      I'm sure they could still work it out if they wanted .. can't be too many people in that number range that have order twice.

    • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2012 - 22:19

      Part of the mystery is whether we actually get anything in the first place.

      I wouldn't mind a sample of fine cheeses, providing they can mush them into my tiny letterbox.

      • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2012 - 22:21
        +2

        Postage will probably be longer than a month because of the US storms. COTD probably has that written in the disclaimer somewhere.

        • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2012 - 22:22

          Should add some maturation to the cheese then, this could work to my advantage.

        • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2012 - 22:24
          +6

          no, they've already got the 'moving warehouse' excuse for slow postage
          infact, thats probably what we are getting, anything left on the warehouse floor once they clear out.
          random nuts and bolts, used bubble wrap, dead mice… that kind of stuff

      something crap, you are a loser
