All my smokes are going to the Troops if this goes through. I doubt it will but I have two confirmation emails for 100 smokes each.

Amazingly dishonorable behavior on behalf of some folks who claim to conduct themselves in an honorable manner. Exploiting a programming error is no different than just going in and stealing this stuff from your local b&m. I suspect that many here also would jump the cashier at Walmart is she made a 5 cent error in favor of the store while making your change. I wish that I had seen this while it was ongoing and said something at that time.

The orders should be check before shipping so the wont make it out the door is their is an error, How do they honestly know this is not legit? that they put X quantity free to generate a crap ton of traffic?

Starscream · 12-11-2008, 05:41 AM

It must be fixed now. Item sold out.

While I doubt that would be the case, if it were it seems they would have put a cap on how many of each offer you could place an order for. They get the same traffic from selling one bundle of 10 to one customer that they do for five.

neoflex · 12-11-2008, 06:56 AM

I think it was a programming mistake and it went on for as long as it did because of the hours of the night that it was live. I bet someone was called and woken up in the middle of the night to fix the error. If it were a scheme to create traffic they would have pulled the stunt during daytime hours IMHO.
I too am surprised at how many tried to take advantage of the deals and seem to have gone nuts. Even if it were legit and CI was feeling generous, have some self control and put in orders for realistic sized orders. I'm Sure I may take some abuse for that statements but I just had to express my feelings on the situation.
