Yep.

I've had other forum members PM me to give me a heads up but they usually ask that I not share the hot deal or wait until we buy some then post the deal.

Most of the time it's a pricing error that eventually gets fixed.

Every single time. Let the Vermin at Hot Deals hear about it and the deal will be ferengi'd in a matter of minutes.

Yes, I've found "Hot Deals" that I've kept quiet- because they are "one time only" , something that will happen at a future date, etc
Good example, the $38 Nforce board- bought 2, told a few friends about it- then checked out the "Hot Deals " Section- it was already there

I also make sure I have a shipping confirmation before opening my mouth, just in case ;)

That or if I find a great deal that I don't need. Though, I don't actively search for deals worth of HDs so I am more of a leech for a few deals and I also keep the ones that I personally find to myself. Oh well, I'm sure more people will get the hot deal if I don't post it than if I do more often than not...because then companies get overwhelmed and cancel orders.
