OFFICIAL 60 VIZIO (Walmart or Amazon lightning deal) THREAD - Share your stories

"deleted"

Quote from RandomDealz : Why the sarcasm? My reply to you was double posted when slickdeals timed out. Instead of leaving it posted twice, I deleted it and left the comment "double post" I'm starting to think you might be an ass.

My mistake then, that was a misunderstanding. I thought you were being an ass since I posted this thread in two spots. I'll delete my prior reply. Sorry about that. My apologies. Just annoyed that this thread has nothing but downvotes from jaded slickdealers.

No problem. Enjoy your new TV.

I decided to show up at my local Walmart around 7:30 to see what was up.
Walked the whole store then saw all the tv's hadn't been claimed so I took a ticket and waited.

We didn't have a line Nazi and we freely left and returned picking up other deals and bringing them back to our aisle. We also had front row seats to the battle for the 700 thread count sheets. That was something else!!
At 7:55 I heard a roar like a heard of stampeding elephants coming from electronics. It was on!!

Good times.

Quote from vc318 : ...luckily they still had a few of the Westinghouse TVs left for $349. I love our new TV.

Not to threadcrap but I wouldn't consider yourself lucky. You'll only be lucky if you get at least a year out of that tv before something goes defective.

Quote from nincow : Not being able to get in on it isn't a legitimate reason for down votes or thread crapping. This is a specific thread for both success stories or not so successful stories. I don't understand "look at me" mentality because no one actually knows anyone here personally (for the most part, I would presume) and I didn't start this thread to brag. I wanted to see how many others have a similar tale to tell, or perhaps here completely different experiences - both good and bad.

I enjoyed your story. But then again I wasn't trying to get the TV. Anyway, congrats on your new TV.

Agreed. Two weestinghouses have failed on me. Never buying them again.

Quote from nincow : That surprised me though, as I was under the impression that Aquos was among Sharps top models.

I have a 52" Aquos I bought a few years ago. Still going strong and a great TV.

this thread sucks

Quote from vc318 : Well, all 56 Vizio TVs were sold out by 6 pm at my local Walmart so I decided to try Target and luckily they still had a few of the Westinghouse TVs left for $349. I love our new TV.

Glad things worked out for you! We've had a 32" Westinghouse for 6 years now and it is a great television.

you said it added to cart at full price after you clicked the button. did you try checking out? b/c there's a "lightning deal discount" when you check out. if the promo wasn't there you didn't go through the correct process. either way it was your f up.

sounds like you made the mistake, and you made amazon pay for it. i thumbs down for ur stupidity and how amazon could be so dumb as to take a loss on a tv so your dumbass could be happy.

So let me get this straight....you ask me a question pertaining to whether or not I went about placing my order correctly.....immediately followed by jumping to your own conclusion, and answering for me. And wrongly at that. Brilliant.

Yes dipshit, I went about it correctly. The discount wasn't applied upon checking out.

"Ur stupidity", you say? Riiiiiiiight.... By the way, there's this extremely useful key that people (pay attention class, this means YOU!) can use to capitalize letters at the start of sentences! It's called the shift key! Say it with me children. Shift. Key. All right! Great job!!!

That's what square trade is for Brands like Westinghouse and the like will always be hit and miss. Some batches are simply superior than others. If you get a good one, all is well.

Quote from nincow : Quick Edit - There's no reason whatsoever for people to give this any thumbs down. I'm sorry if you're bitter if you were unable to score a unit, but I played by the rules and Amazon was pretty damn shady, if you ask me, so I followed up and managed to get the deal. I'm sure I'm not the only one who saw the deal go from 0% claimed to 100% claimed in a heartbeat. Edit #2 - Wow, guys. Really? 400+ views and NO stories? ...down votes though. Thanks for that, great contribution. Edit #3 - What the hell is with all the negative ratings? Since when is slickdeals so filled with elitist snobs? This is a thread for people to post STORIES and SHARE THEM pertaining to a very specific (and popular) deal. If you aren't interested in contributing, move along.

Do you need some attention?
