Looks like they are out of stock now on eBay or they pulled the ad.

Quoted from InfiniteLives:there is a 20% discount today as well on select items: PRETTYDAY
do they list the catagories which this coupon will work or is it just a try and see thing?
Quoted from KoolFingers:I'm guessing it's the eBay/Paypal fees.
I thought ebay comped the fees to help cover the coupon like Dmod from colordmd stated in the thread earlier.
Quoted from Dmod:A little explanation on that ebay ad...
We don't normally sell on ebay as the seller fees are high and reduce our margins.
The ad was auto-generated six months ago by our ecommerce site and posted as an experiment to see if it would draw attention from ebay game buyers who don't frequent forums and aren't as familiar with ColorDMD. The ad mirrors the product page on our site which is why it didn't specifically call out ColorDMD in the title of the product listing.
The flash sale that happened yesterday came as a complete surprise. Although being an ebay member for many years, I didn't even know that was a thing. The ad hadn't drawn much attention and to be honest I forgot it was even running until we started getting multiple hits late yesterday.
I didn't find out about the flash sale until it was almost over and am still puzzled how ebay was able to offer such a large discount. Half the discount came from seller fees we were charged but the other half seems to have come from ebay directly in the form of an economic stimulus package.
Congrats to those that were able to get a great deal!
Quoted from gac:Based on this, it is what I said above. Colordmd is not paying the 15%. eBay is using a portion of the seller fees and kicking in the rest. So I don't understand why colordmd would have an issue. If they have an issue with the buyer getting a discount that has no effect on their bottom line they shouldn't put them on eBay at all then.
my guess is its to try and regulate sales. If people pull back a little from buying colordmds in hopes that an ebay coupon will come along so they can save some cash its going to hit his flow of sales, it will be less sales, then a huge wave of sales when ebay runs a coupon, or he just doesn't want anyone to beable to buy it for cheaper then he sales on his website. Either way a lot of peoples money are going else where now.
Quoted from Pinless:About to purchase a shaker motor and I’ve never owned a pin, but plan to pick one up soon.
Is that a sign I caught the pin virus?
appears you have it at an advance rate.
Quoted from delt31:Let's post what you're buying so I can do the same ; )
I searched for toppers and mirrors but no luck on what I want
I might go for an Amazon gift card
i believe gift cards are excluded from the coupons.
I bought some arcade buttons and leaf switches i needed, saved $10
