They have the 12 crazy deals of christmas going on, starting today.

Each day they have one item. They reveal it at 7AM eastern time and start selling it at noon eastern time. First 12 people get 50% off that item at check out, while everyone else gets 10% or more off as well.

The first item opens in 25 mins or so. It is a smitty built electric air compressor. John may want something like this for his new jeep? Reg $80. Sale $40. First 12-$20. The rest 10% or more off today only.

And so on, for the next 11 days...

Sale is only great for those who buy early. Later prices are ok, but not what my e-mail from yesterday led me to believe...

I wonder if all of the items will be SmittyBilt. It's 2 for 2 so far.

I'd be happy with a hi-lift for under $30, eventhough it's Smittybuilt.

Also, since the company that owns 4wd.com owns Smittybuilt, it wouldn't surprise me!

It would be fun to try and guess the next item from the clues. Any guesses what's next?

I'm going to guess 50% off gift cards for the first 12 customers and 20% off for the rest of us who don't wait by the computer for the percise moment to order.

Nice Job Brad!!!

Here's how my day went...
8:45 I give my math students something to work on
I turn on my computer
Wait for all the start-up process
Citrix absolutely sux and is so slow
log onto the internet
Go to the posse forum
log onto this thread
slow connection today
Students laughing because I'm yelling at the computer to "HURRY UP!"
Click on the link that Brad posted, thopught it would be faster than Google searching
Circumvent the block my school district has on the site
Finally hit the page I want and there were already 12 sold 👿
Students laughing because I'm cussing like the guy from Christmas Story...Frig Fug Lack Nuster...

I Fail 👿

That's Hillarious! lol

Here's how my day went (We'll skip the early stuff becuase I've been at work a while).

Get to the computer and see it is 845. Go verify it is a gift card and see I need to spend 125 to get the 250.
So I open the site on both my monitors and log in to set up the registry ahead of time.
(Here come the secrets to help the rest of you out in the future, if you want to snipe the rest of the US).

Once logged in (and making sure all shipping/billing info is correct), I go the site and find the exact matching part number specified in the half off link.
I put it in my cart and go through 4 of the 5 purchase screens BEFORE 9AM!!!
Now, I'm sitting there, alredy past the credit card screen and sitting in the "complete order" screen.
30 seconds to go, I hit "refresh" on my browswer. The site is slow becuase everyone is doing something at this point.
The browser refreshes wtih 11 seconds left (clock is showing on the site on my other monitor).
Refresh shows 50% discount in "complete purchase" screen!
Immediately click that single "complete purchse" button!
Wait 60 seconds for confirmation to show up, print it out and the dance around your cube like you won the lottery!!!!

WHHOOO! HOOOO!! George would be so proud (though co-workers are annoyed)...

John - Nice narration! I'm not gonna lie, I was on the edge of my seat by the last line hoping you had made it....

Brad - Hahahahaha Nice Job! I'm sure co-workers were rooting for you!

My day:

Logged in at 7:30 am, read that I needed to log in later
Went into a mtg and never thought about it again until I read this....oops!!! My bad!!!

I'm guessing a winch kit next!

I gave them too much credit. A D Ring and recovery strap?

No winch...

$30 for both isn't too bad of price but it's sure not a winch.

I know, what a let-down 🙁
I think tomorrow's deal is off road lights.

They do have plastic grills, but there is metal between the slots that a nice flashlight could stick to!

However that won't be necessary. The gift today is some nice KC lights for $80 - for the set. That's a good deal!

My money on tomorrow's prize? A CB!

BTW, I'm in the market for a CB!!!!
