HOT DEAL Index!!

[low_crew_cab]

I would just email them and you'll get an auto response message saying they've received your email. If it takes over a day to hear back i'd just file a claim with amazon. I'll post here or PM you as soon as i hear something though.

(See? That's greed too. Everybody who reads this thread is a greedy ******* looking for a screaming deal. Except we don't call it "greed" when it's us...we are just being prudent and thrifty.)

I never really thought about it that way. You're pretty clever for an Earthling.

Mine shows up as:

Not Yet Shipped:
3 items - delivery estimate: April 19, 2011 - May 7, 2011

So far so good. I felt a surge of relief when the prices finally shot up like a "normal" order. I'd have felt even more confident if they done so much sooner.

Keep your fingers crossed.

I think amazon is too big to be dented by this small Nicholson Files goof. These orders probably might go through. That's why I always chose amazon itself first even if an amazon third party vendor has the item I want for slightly lesser price.

 

[kwoody51]

Mine hAve shipped.

How about this?

Your files?

 

[kwoody51]

Your files?

Well, maybe I read the email too quick It just says they will ship as one shipment. Nevermind!

 

[swaterbenny]

I bought a 3 piece set for $4 or so, and there scheduled to arrive today! They were in stock though!

 

[BBQ&Love]

I just ordered 82 sets - the ones with the handles. Take that, Amazon!

You serious?

 

[Buckgnarly]

Already ordered that one....now delete your link so no one ruins this one by ordering 100....

 

[zer0cell]

Wow all those file deals were pretty great... too bad I missed out due to a moment of hesitation...

 

[Weps]

I just ordered 82 sets - the ones with the handles. Take that, Amazon!

You serious?

if he's not joking, i hope he plans on offering them here. to me, that kind of **** violates the whole spirit of this thread and is going to lead to people not posting deals.

for anything like this, i feel guilty ordering more than one or two for backup.

 

[zer0cell]

I could see how ordering 100 might be good for a reseller if you have the means of selling them locally or through some other venue but I agree buying that many is excessive and probably will lead to some people not posting deals on here.

 

[BBQ&Love]

Here's a 5 piece set with handles for $7.36

Here's the link. Make sure you are on the $7.36 page because otehr sellers have them listed for more. http://amzn.to/edH6rR

I have some of those thread restorer files in some sets I have. I have never been able to figure out the technique to make them do anything but completely remove threads.

Any tips here? (Maybe this should be a thread on its own.)

Same here, tried them a couple of times without any luck.

 

[SARG]

Best tip is to buy a die set and forget the files.

Hold the tool at the helix angle of the thread. If you don't it'll mess up the thread. In other words, don't hold the tool at 90° to the bolt.

Personally, I've had great luck with mine. Fixes a messed up thread in seconds.

 

[srmofo]

I almost only use thread files anymore. Im on my phone right now or id send you some tips. Ill post later

I've read comments from people that they wait to receive their item before posting deals on here now because of people mass ordering or abusing super hot deals....

And you can't really blame them.

I tried to attach a PDF of the latest coupon that showed up in my E-Mail box. Let me know if it is viewable and usable. I'll try a different method if it can't be used. Ends 3/27/2011. I'm not sure if this is locked to my account or not. Don't have anything to buy, anyway.

I've been eying the 12v lithium ion drill on that sheet for a while. Does anyone have any experience with it? My old 9.6v DeWalt is getting close to retirement

For those of you who do not know about 'The Tracktor' Amazon price tracker, download the browser plug in - it will integrate and show the price history on every Amazon.com item page.
