For those that get through, you might still have a chance at one of the "runner up" deals -- like the bike for $60.

good luck

The other deals are showing up for me. I don't want that crap tho 😉
 
We're very sorry!
This item is no longer available at the special Customers Vote price. As we stated earlier, our supply was limited, and that supply didn't last long at this bargain price. Below, you'll see a few things you might like instead, or you can go back and try for one of this week's other deals.

Amazon screwed themselves. Think off all the people doing some shopping on their day off, had a cart full of items, then BAMM! Nothing for like 15 minutes or more. How many of those people are going to be so pissed that they just off and go someplace else to do their online shopping? Heh.

that is a VERY good point.
 
I guess it was just luck.

I refreshed at 1:58:45, no problems. Refreshed again at 1:59:10, page didn't even load until 2:01, and it was sold out.

Well, that sucked. 🙁

Probably a foreshadowing of my experience tomorrow at Best Buy, lol.

hahahaha, instead of sitting on a chair and waiting you'll be man handled and beaten to the ground by on coming teenagers.

Good. I hope this continues to happen. They deserve it. How the hell can you run a multi-million dollar company but not have enough bandwidth reserved for pulling a stunt like this?
 
LOL, I'm posting from the Penn Turnpike right now (1 hour east of Pittsburgh, heading West). I gave up...the Amazon.com site isn't loading the Customers Vote page for me, or for my friend connected via FiOS at home.
