I'm about to give up and go to bed, so I imagine the Garmins will be making their appearance pretty soon.

On slickdeals.net they have a thread on the ebay holiday promotion. They said people have created scripts that keep them winning. You are suppose to be able to ONLY purchase one item per account/household the entire promotion, but the complaint is that people are writing scripts and creating new accounts to just keep winning. If you notice the winners, the VAST majority have a "0" for their ebay rating. Meaning they are new accounts. The thread at slickdeals talks about how the promotion has become a waste of time as most winners are cheating.

I'm sick of these Roomba things. They pop up about once a week.

How fast is their delivery? I can do some last minute shopping.

It takes a little while. It may be cheap but it's not that fast. You would be cutting it close for XMas, IMO.

My wife and I each signed up for Discover cards and each got a Garmin for free as part of a promotional. They were just giving them away for free.

I think they are really trying to get this stuff out by Christmas. I wouldn't count on it, but I think there is a good chance you will have it by christmas.

You should have checked out staples.com on Cyber Monday. I bought a 16GB SDHC for $29.99.

Thank you for the information on the shipping. My mom will be happy either way. This is addicting, by the way, and I never thought I would be excited to try to purchase a bag of crap.

Something I bought yesterday has already shipped....that's the fastest I've ever seen...I heard they are determined to make sure you get it in time for Christmas and I guess that proves it

This is the same method that the Hawaiian kings of old, who used it to suffocate and melt the virgins assigned to the volcano gods. And don’t forget the bloodthirsty druids! When you add wood to flavor that salmon, you’ll feel just like a High Priest, standing beside the largest Wicker Man he can find.
Hmm, I think I'll get an Orion Stainless Steel Outdoor Convection Cooker.
