Hi there.

We hear ya, and we feel your pain! Groupon pulled a fast one on all of us and there's nothing fun about it. But just because Groupon let you down doesn't mean we will.

Use the promo code "SuckitGroupon" for 45% OFF plus free shipping on all purchases at www.GetBuckyballs.com .

Happy ballin',
Team Bucky

Use on site for Buckeyballs, Buckeycubes or anything else they sell!

Suckitgroupon at checkout to get 45% off + Free shipping+ No tax. Ended up being cheaper than the deal I got from Groupon!!

Awesome, put in an order for a large signature 3 color set.

However this last post is a bit concerning, after somebody asked if anybody received a confirmation email:

Possible that they can't sell them yet.

"The Commission voted 3-1 to approve the filing of the complaint, which seeks, among other things, an order that the firm stops selling Buckyballs and Buckycubes, notify the public of the defect, and offer consumers a full refund."

They were always overpriced, but this is a decent deal for a fun desk toy.
 
I ordered mine last night with the promo and got charged the full price (via conf. email and my CC account). Sent them an e-mail asking whats up.

Dude, if that was going to stop me from buying something I would never buy anything because every business owner is a dick pretty much, much like most bosses, politicians, or anyone who has any modicum of power.

So, has anyone confirmed they will actually ship these things?

Just ordered some; saved just under $48! Now waiting to see if I get them and if the discount applies, after reading a couple of posts above.

Heh, I'll just wait for Zen Magnets to dump *their* inventory. 🙂

Although I would rather like to get a "chemistry set":

-125 black
-32 * 2-4 bars
-plus 10 of every other color

All the stuff, in other words, that Zen doesn't have.

Wonder how much they'd charge for that...
 
I paid via PayPal and the total shows as the discounted price.

Got two of the Big Balls.

Have a few sets of the regular Bucky Balls and two of the Bucky Cubes.
 
luckily two orders arrived from ebay. they started pulling the listings as well. received an email that my bid was cancelled AFTER I already received it. 🙂
 
The owner of Buckyballs was on the radio yesterday. According to him the CPSC is trying to get his stuff off the market, but so far they are still able to sell - but some retailers have pulled their products. They think it's govt. interference and over-reaching so they are fighting back. I suspect they're trying to blow out what they have in stock just in case they do lose the fight...
