Did you get in on the Amazon deal?

Last night (3/26/02) at amazon.com, the games on this page:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...844113-5272141
was all 75% off. Got 3 ps2 games with shipping for $40. Did anybody else get in on this?

....No, but then again, no one told me about it.. and considering it was on 2/26/02, makes me wonder. why mention it if no one ever linked the sale to the bargins forum or this forum.

Thanks to this spiffy thread , I managed to snag Dark Summit for XBox (go ahead, laugh, but I've been eyeing it for a while) for 12.50 +shipping. It's already moved to 'shipping soon', so it looks like it's going to go through.

Yeah, I got Final Fight One for GBA for $10 ... actually had it and some other items in my shopping cart this morning & was able to order ... had some issues with another item that was going in and out of stock, so I waited until this morning to see if it was in stock again before placing my order. Unfortunately it was in stock, but they had corrected prices from 75% off, to 25% off.

Luckily, those items that were actually in my cart stayed at 75% off. I wish I had realized this was an error, as I would have not taken my time in ordering/tweaking my order. I actually thought they were just cleaning out some inventory...

Ugh. I wish someone had posted about this as the actual sale was going on.

But good for you guys that got in on it.

And did you mean 3/26/02?

I posted it as soon as I found out about it.

Also, it was already posted at several deal sites before I found out about it. Congrats to those who got in on it. Sorry to those who didn't.

My games shipped out this morning.

Ordered Test Drive: Wide Open and Dark Summit for Xbox ($12.50 ea.), and a Trigun/Wolfwood 2 pack action figure, and the action figure for Monev the Gale for $7.50 each.

Haven't gotten any shipping confirms yet. hope this doesn't fall through. I posted this at animeondvd.com and a few guys there took up the NGE metallic 4 pack deal. Not bad at all.

I picked up Monev (already had the other two Trigun figs and two of the EVAs, so I passed on the set - but those were *great* prices!) and a Pokemon GBC game.

Poopie. Guess I should've been watching a little closer. I definitely would've snagged Victorious Boxers at that price. Did anyone snag any extra copies of that one that they wouldn't mind selling?

I received a shipping confirmation for part of my order, with the rest to follow hopefully today. Best part is one of my items now has free shipping, (although the price went up), so I called and got the shipping refunded for that particular item Gotta love that customer service...

FYI, not as quite as good a deal, but they have 50% off these now instead of 75%

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...921723-1765515

but they are also adding $10 off $50

Just got shipping confirmation on both my orders. Guessing they'll be here by next Monday. BTW has anyone noticed that the basic shipping for Amazon is now UPS ground? Big diff.

Got my shipping confirmation today. Standard shipping for me is coming via USPS, not UPS. But then again, I only ordered one game.

If anyone ordered previously, get your shipping removed by contacting Amazon

If you previously ordered at the 75% off prices, note: all the items in the sale are now 40% off with free shipping. So you can call in and the CSR will remove the shipping charges if your are nice !


Update: all the items in this sale went free shipping, so the stuff I purchased at 75% off, but with shipping, now have free shipping on the site. So I called Amazon, and got all shipping charges removed, but still kept the 75% off prices... Again, gotta love that customer service.

Update: Now save 40% & get free shipping

I got in on it, but not for any games. I picked up the set of 4 Evangelion figures for $22.01 shipped. An awesome deal considering each figure goes for about $12.99 everywhere else. I was going to get the Trigun figures today but the price went up so goodbye 75% off.
