Soul by Ludacris - Staples B&M - Further Reductions - Clearance - YMMV

Good luck finding these, called a few stores and they're out of them since they have been on clearance awhile.

Quote from lodit : Let's compare apples to apples here. First, you need to spend $millions on marketing your TP at MSRP, have it endorsed by a "celebrity" and advertise it as one of the best, coolest, "all the other kids have it" type of product. Then, you need to discount it 70% at major retailers across the country. Then, you can compare it to the deal I posted and say your piece about not being a deal. Otherwise, your one-off analogy isn't quite accurate. But thanks for the response, it's been helpful to see how you and other SDers think. As others have stated, I'll just have to get thicker skin and learn to ignore the TDs from now on. Cheers.

That is NOT what you said! You said he was being transfered because he was in danger... You said danger, I said grave danger? You said "is there any other kind?"


Wait, I digress.

You said it was a SD because there wasnt any other prices cheaper. I can have the court transcripts read back....

Quote from Runvus : I have never seen someone so defensive of TDs in all the time lurking here. My assumption is that most of the TDs were from the initial defensive about TDs.

Lol.

I'm not trying to be defensive, nor am I crying out for TUs.

I'm simply trying to understand why SDers would TD a posted deal without explaining their reasoning.

If we were in a Staples store and both of us were looking at these headphones and saw the prices discounted 70%, and then suddenly I said, "Thumbs Down!" and walked away, wouldn't you be curious as to why?

At least to inform yourself before deciding whether or not to buy them if you were at all interested?

That's why I'm asking for explanations.

Anyways, I'm over it now. Valentine's Day sentiment has worn off.

Back to the daily grind.

Gonna check my local staples tonight

Quote from JAXXBOSS : I'll bite. Buy a bunch because if its cheap enough and there are enough suckers out there that would buy it at a higher price then id grab all I could and fleabay em and make a profit. Or Buy a bunch for friends and family and make em think I paid a premium for their gifts. Or Buy a bunch.....Oh this is exhausting......

You do understand that all of those things would mean that you do indeed have interest in the item. Whether it be for personal use or not, you have interest in it.


My question is towards people who come into threads for items they have no interest in, just to thread crap. Like people who go into fast food deals to say its bad for you, or people who go into work out posts to talk about how you don't need it

Lol...Great movie.

But, back to the rebuttal, counselor.

A slick deal to me is one that meets the Slickdeals.net classification of a "slick deal" with an emphasis on the lowest price available at the time of posting.

I believe the item I've posted does that.

Does yours?

That argument is also stupid because if the title was something like "selling my used TP" (almost) no one would even bother to go into the thread.

Quote from JAXXBOSS : You said it was a SD because there wasnt any other prices cheaper. I can have the court transcripts read back....

Fun thread.

This point however is flawed because the sales logic is completely different. It would be the same situation if your used TP was available for sale at multiple outlets at an MSRP of say, $100. Then you came in and said, "Hey guys, have I got a deal for you! I'm selling that same TP that would cost you $100 at retailers A, B, and C, for the low price of $30!! Come and get it!"

Is a "slickdeal" on something the general consensus isn't interested in, still a "slickdeal"? Wait, let me rephrase that before you/anyone answers that. If a tree falls in the woods, but no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound"

OP, people will TD deals if it's for products they don't like or believe in, regardless of whether or not it is actually a slick deal.

Well, you quoted me, so I answered you.
Also, Yes, folks have an interest in the item and come here.....Whats your point? They come here because they have an interest , read the post and decide its not SD and give it a TD.
You apparently dont like the reasons WHY they give a TD, but thats how it goes.
Anyone has the right to enter a thread and give it a TD ...just because. Its an ok thing to do..

If I see a thread that I KNOW Im not gonna be buying but its looks intereting then Ill enter it. Sometimes these are funny and sometimes they are kinda lame and sometimes it give me an idea....

You just sem to be hating on the haters, which kinda makes you a hypocrite& a hater which means the haters have one strike against them and you have 2.......

Just sayn yo.

I will check my staples later!

I am going only be the guidelines that the OP said and that was that a SD is when an item has the lowest price anywhere then it is a SD. Only using that alalogy I then made my TP post to show how asinine it was.

Again, just because an item has the lowest price anywhere does not always mean it sa SD.. and yes, I know that a SD is subjective, but some are not, just like I dont need to eat a dead skunks hind quartres while sitting in a pile of maggot infested rotting human corpses to know that i wouldnt enjoy the meal nor would (hardly)anyone else.

TD for all the bs comments that were not related to the f'ing product...

Well, logic dictates that "lowest price anywhere" is not the same as "only price anywhere". So I'll rephrase; your point is in fact valid regarding the subjectivity of a slick deal being a slick deal, however your argument for that point is unfortunately still flawed.

SKU's anyone?
