<< They are pretty damn nice! I got 50 of them today! They actually came. My total was: $.54 (Including tax). I got free shipping also! This is the best deal I have seen yet! I wanted to order even more, but the item number is no longer valid. I should have went for 100 or more >>



You HOG. What are you going to do with 50 cases? Jeeze...save some for someone else!

<< 500 cases shipped to 3 different houses. My order for 100 came to $9.06. >>



You're even worse than the other guy! No wonder they started cancelling orders, with people making ridiculous orders like that.

Maybe you can make a couch out of them or something.

Excuse me? It is not like they ran out. They are still in stock, they just changed the price back. 1/2 of the bags are for my family and the other half for friends. Some people here ordered hundreds at once!

Don't get upset if you don't ship. I had 3 of them free from previous coupons, and they are still sitting in my basement. Cheap looking, but free nonetheless.

HyTekJosh,

You see....if you start going overboard, you raise red flags that alert people of problems. When jerks start ordering 50 (or 500 like that other guy), they'll see that it's an unusual order and verify it. Then they discover the price problem and BOOM...nobody gets it.

I don't think all of your relatives up to 3rd cousin need a bag (and if you have 50 friends....then aren't YOU Mr. popularity!!!!)

I just thought of something humorous. I see many plan to give these cases away as gifts. With the volume of these in circulation now I think it would be funny if you gave a case to someone who had already capitalized on this 'deal' or received one from someone else. Of course that's rather ridiculous, but it shows how many people are buying too many of these things. Let's abolish the dollar and start trading with attaches. Just a thought.

500,50,20 come on get real. That is just sick. It is things like this that are going to kill great things like Staples $25 off $50 and free shipping from Outpost.com You are bitting the hand that feeds us. I don't mind cashing in on some hot deals but to see people abuse it to these numbers is just wrong.

Just my thoughts!

All's I can say is that if my order of &quot;1&quot; get's cancelled due to people mass ordering I am going to be pissed. And to think that the individual who ordered 500 was a platinum member...
