    We have received a few requests so we're looking into doing something else that we think people will like. When we have more information we'll let everyone know. Thanks for the feedback.

    Lauren,

    My suggestion is a Weekly Deal where several "related" items are all on discount. Many times I wanted to get the Daily Deal, but I could not justify paying the shipping to save $2 or $3 on a single item.

    The daily deal was one of the reasons I would visit the Parallax home page. A weekly deal would be cool to.

    We may end up doing a weekly deal or something similar. We spoke about this yesterday and that idea was brought up. I think it's a great one. Give us a week and we'll have something up. I'm glad to hear everyone enjoyed the daily deal so much.

    The daily deal was one of the reasons I would visit the Parallax home page every day at lunch time.
    I saw items I had never noticed before, when looking though the web store.
    The sale prices encouraged me to try new things.
    A weekly deal(s) would also be nice.
    It would be nice if there was a post in a thread, each time a new item is added to the eMarket, looking through the eMarket pages just to see if something has been added, gets old after doing it a few times.

    Zapman sums it up very nicely - though I was first thing of a morning.

    Trying to figure out whats the latest thing to be added to the emarket is just too time consuming.

    Consequently I don't visit the home page much anymore...

    I don't even want to know the total of money I've spend because of the Daily Deal. Like others, I looked forward to checking it everyday. I like the weekly deals with related items idea. I know the daily deal is a maintenance nightmare or at least time consuming for an employee, but I would think the increased sales would more than pay for the overhead cost of maintaining it. I would encourage Parallax to bring back the daily/weekly deal.

    Please DO NOT bring back the daily deal. I now have doubles of items and I still haven't used the originals. I spent like $200 one month just because things were marked 50% off. This would not help my compulsive buying syndrome.

    I have to agree... The Daily Deal was a VERY good reason to visit the Parallax.com page.

    I agree to. I used to check the Parallax homepage for daily deals and product announcements, but i haven't as of late

    I really miss the daily deal too! Because it would sometimes offer "wanted Parallax products at a discount" instead of "overstock and clearance products" like the emarket does now. Although I know the daily deal cuts into the profit margin a bit, it did make me visit the product page more often and run into new items that I might purchase.

    I haven't noticed a daily deal in a while and I was wondering what happened when I found this thread.

    I must admit I'm as guilty as everyone else for checking the website on a daily basis just after Noon (ET) so see what the day's daily deal was.

    I could help here :-)

    Send the 'spares' to me...

    At least then you wouldn't feel so bad about have 2 of the unused items sitting about..

    just a thought...

    Cheers
