    Nothing yet?

    I wanted to buy a BW that interests me, but I wanted to check here before if there were coupons.

    I got a 10% eBay Bucks deal two days ago that I'm surprised no one brought up. Might have been a targeted deal.

    Ebay:
    Bumping this thread to ask if there's a flash sale means everybody who subscribes gets a notification and comes here to learn about the new flash sale. Then they get frustrated when they learn there isn't one. The flash sale commentary thread is where you want to post things like this unless you're actually announcing a sale.

    Again, not this thread. This is only for announcing flash sales. The thread you want us the Chinese eBay seller check thread (or whatever it's called - it's something like that).

    Well... better than nothing...
    Targeted Coupon code: TAKETWO
    In the eBay app will get you $2 off a purchase of $2.01 or more. Onetime use only (per eligible acct), and must be used by 8/25 (pretty lengthy time for a sale). They’re probably gonna collect metrics on its use.
    I seem to recall a $3 off $3.01 purchase, but I guess they’re figuring they can get even cheaper with the offerings.

    Oh well, I’ll probably get a couple more dollar & change stands from China.

    I can't use that coupon easily as My phone doens't like it - as it's slightly to old to run the ebay ap and I have no intention of replacing it until it breaks and my computer hates the malware & adware infested android emulators that are out there so I can't use those either.

    I'm sure there is one somewhere that isn't a con trick but I have yet to find one that isn't just a means to sel mobile phone games to you while failing to do what you actually wanted it for in the 1st place.

    There was some ebay Australia offers - but I didn't notice them until they'd expired. they were only 5% & 10% though. and had quite a substantial minium purchase.

    Yeah, that code didn't work for me.

    YMMV

    This thread should be deleted, flash sales are dead. RIP 2018.

    We can evaluate that down the road, if necessary.

    But until then, no more replies unless there's actually a sale code. People commenting over and over that this should be closed, or it isn't the place for eBay bucks just creates more notifications for others who then think an actual sale is happening. So, please, from this post forward, don't comment unless a new sale starts up. Thanks!

    Hope everyone is ok with posting this here (not Flash sale, but a 24 hour coupon):

    Courtesy of reddit:

    Ebay $3 Off $3+

    Text "EXTRA" to 70799

    Expires 11/1

    For me, after texting 'Extra' to the number, I have to reply again with my zip code to agree to receive autodialer messages going forward. No thanks, not worth $3

    So beware, it also appears to be an opt-in for text messaging. Or opt-in, get the coupon and opt-out again.

    FYI - you can text “STOP” right after to avoid this.

    Yes, you can do that. It does not mitigate the fact your number has been provided and now poses risk. Working in a certain industry, I probably place more importance on digital privacy an minimizing data exposure than most, but there are consequences and potential risk here that in my opinion is hardly worth the paltry sum of a $3 discount. Providing personal data in exchange for crumbs is a big L for the consumer. To anyone reading this wh would like more information on why this is not ideal, I would be happy to discuss via private message so I don't hijack or derail the eBay flash sale thread.

    Flash sales are not dead there was one the other day in the UK for £5.00 off £10.00 £10.00 off £100 & £25.00 off £250.00
    But since some people get bent out of shape and as it was site wide I didn't mention it.

    But I think yes unless it's about an actual flash sale it might be best to use the discussion thread for other related offers.

    I'm not sure if there's anything I want that's worth saving $3 on...

    Thank you for that!
