ya know it is a free country, you snooze you lose. not like it's illegal to order 5000 if they so chose. if you lived on this forum, you could have gotten in on the deal instead of whining about those that got in on the deal.

my 3 shipped!
 
I don't really have an issue with people that bought a bunch. I think everyone that has chimed in and called them names or acted all high and mighty need to chill the hell out. I bought 10. Do I need them? Nope. I don't even need one of them. But I build a lot of machines for friends and family. I know I *will* need 5 of them. What is wrong with me taking a GREAT deal and turning it into an INCREDIBLE deal? 7 NICS for free? Screw you all. Thats one hell of a deal.

Besides, all of you that have a morality that doesn't flex that far, think about the other *grey* things you do. Buy something, wait a week just to AMEX Blue it or to return it and buy it again at a cheaper price. Thats *infinately* worse, in my opinion.

As for mark-ups, whatever you choose to think, the computer component industry is *not* incredibly lucrative. My profit margins and those for the companies I have worked for have always been in the 5-10 percent range. Some products are even sold at a loss because it helps move other products that give us better margins. You really think these companies are making a killing? TRY IT.

Hey ATers
I've been watchin this thread . . . and all I can say is. wow.
I had no idea there were so many selfish people on here. Really sad, and just think. Santa Claus is watchin. lol, at any rate, I just wanted to say thanks for the heads up on a hot deal.
I hope everyone at least gets something they ordered.
I also wanted ya'll to know that while I don't post alot, I have benefited from your keen and insiteful deals. It's hard to post a deal that hasn't already been posted, hehehe, you guys and gals are sharp.

Again, Thanks
and Happy Holidays🙂

Your spelling is "*infinitely* worse, in my opinion. 😀
 

Friday 7 Dec I ordered 3 NIC's. I needed 3. Didn't realized this was such a HOT deal which would generate a thread like this (in light of the various FREE AFTER MIR deals at several retailers). I guess I was wrong! Next time I'll post here and/or FW.

Anyways, they LOST my order. Received an Order Acknowledgement last Friday morning right after placing the order. I never got an Order Confirmation or Order Number.

Hope it works out better for everyone else!

Perhaps a few more phone calls to DELL will help.

That's why you gotta check Anandtech forums the moment you wake up.
That's what I did and I got the deals I wanted.

My lord can you READ?



not like it's illegal to order 5000 if they so chose.

seriously can you read and comprehend what is written, or do you people just regurgitate the same tired lines that were poured into your heads when you were 5? Have you ever evaluated one of your beliefs? or are you happy making the same statements over and over again like some kind of robot?
 
I go on a rant for three paragraphs, mispell ONE word, and thats all you can see?

Attaking punctuation and grammar are the surest sign that the person has no real argument.

Well alright, ill comment on this instead. First of all it is illogical to justify one immoral action in context of another asi said before e.g. 'well, its not so bad that I killed that child, because YOU raped him and then killed him, so there"

Second, Why would you assume everyone here participates in these shady *grey* area deals?

Thirdly,

Is price protection a feature of AMEX? It's an incentive offered by the company to get yuo to use their credit, so they can charge you interest... No one is taking an advantage of an AMEX loop hole.... thats justh ow the card is supposed to work... I personally dont use an amex.. but I just dont see how using this feature is shady or grey.

I am just reminding you the rules about this forum in case you forgot or did not read it in the beginning.

So you don't use it. Good for you. Entire threads have been dedicated to using PM or AMEX Blue to get prices down. I may have only a few posts, but I've lurked for a *very* long time. Some of the things people will do scalp an extra buck off. I think of it this way:

1. Store offers low price so you will buy from them.
2. You:
a) Buy from Best Buy or CC instead and make them price match.
b) Buy from Best Buy or CC and make AMEX pricematch.

In Situation "a", which is the worst thievery, the company that offers the deal gets no money from it. BB or CC or whoever LOSES money from it. You have now screwed over two different companies.

I honestly don't have a problem with the second issue, except for the additional thing of buying a product *just to hold it for a sale* that goes on with the pricematching, whether it be AMEX or BB or CC or whoever.

I feel that people that took advantage of the Dell deal did nothing wrong. Unless they bought 50 or more. I paid Dell the price they asked for their listed product. No pricematch. No grey area. I will sell three of the cards to make up the loss. My right, and completely above the table. Unlike you guys I even have to charge sales tax if I sell in VA. Hot Deals are just that, Hot Deals. Why should I not take advantage of them? Because someone will create a 1500+ post thread bitching about it (like the BB GF3Ti200)?

Boohoo. I've missed out on plenty of these deals before. I shrug it off and go on with life. Geez.
 
Just received my 6 nics from Dell, I placed my order about 1:45PM Tuesday, so if you ordered yours before that time you should hopefully be getting them. Thanks to the original poster for this great deal! 😀
