Grabbed Dollhouse at the end of its cycle and jumped on BTTF as soon as the little button popped up on screen. Both ordered and checked out.

Me too. Man, I wonder how many copies they actually had available for sale.

Not even two minutes, more like one and a tiny bit of change.

Hmm.... I snagged it, saw the $24.99 price in my cart, yet I was charged $34.49 by the time I checked out. Any ideas?

Clicked to grab BTTF, then found I wasn't signed in! Signed in, now on the waitlist.

Mine hung at checking deal status for the first few seconds, so I opened a new tab and quickly navigated to the page again, worked that time. Picked one up as a gift!

YESSS!!! I got Back to the Future as well... I hit the "Add To Cart" button the second it popped up. It took a few seconds to check the deal status but it went through. FFEEEWW!!

I hit it as soon as available, but probably had 40 seconds of "checking deal status." My internet connection has been good all day. Even while it was checking that, I added something else to my cart, etc. We'll see if I get in.

Holy shit! 8:43 and I'm waitlisted? At over #500, no less? How many people got in there in the first three minutes?

Re: Amazon Black Friday Sales Start Monday, November 22nd

Well, I was officially wrong. I clicked it as soon as it popped up...sat there for about 8 seconds, then it added it to my cart. I checked out in about a minute and reloaded the lightning deal page and they were all claimed. I really thought they were going to have a ton of copies of this for the lightning deal and thought it would go at least 10-15 minutes. I guess I was wrong.

Pretty sure this is more of a browser issue, I got tired of waiting after 15 seconds and opened a new tab & got it.

It shows the normal price, but if you look below that, there should be a "discount price". Go all the way up to the final page of checkout and you should see the lightning deal price reflected.

Re: Amazon Black Friday Sales Start Monday, November 22nd

I somehow got BTTF even though I had to sign in after adding to my cart.

All this angst, and watch, it will probably be available for this price on a normal sale in the near future and I won't have even opened my copy yet.

You didn't have "Use $9.50 promotional discount" checked on the payment options page???

I think you would have been waitlisted at 8:41, probably over 500 as well.

Got 1 - clicked a few seconds after it went live, processed for about 10 seconds and checked out no problem. Will keep my B&N copy for gifting

Damn, I'm glad I was right on it as soon as the clock hit 0. I knew it would sell out fast, but not THAT fast.
