Daily Deal

I noticed that today the USB Boe-Bot is listed as the daily deal but the price is still the same. I was searching the internet the other day and I saw that Micro-Center is selling the USB Boe-Bot for $130 which is $20 less than the usual price. So anyone such as Erco looking for a good deal there you go.

    My guess is the daily deal isn't really a deal yet while the beta site is still beta. I didn't see any mention of a daily deal on the Parallax main site.

    I haven't been watching to see if the daily deal changes day to day or not. Has anyone else noticed if there have be other daily deals? Have the prices been lower than normal prices?

    Parallax used to have a "deal of the day" which usually had a big mark down from regular price. I know I bought an awful lot of stuff on Parallax's "deal of the day". I'm not sure if I want it to return or not. I bet I'll (once again) end up spending a lot of money if it does return.

    The daily deal on the Beta website always work if you went to the product code on the the standard web site.

    I also spent a lot of money on the DD.

    I bought a RFID Read/Write last weekend when it was the Daily Deal. .. I think it was a DD - or was it just on sale for the weekend?

    Ordering is not yet enabled on our Beta site. You can find any Daily Deal on the Beta site's home page also for sale on the current www.parallax.com (a bit of a secret sale as a thank you for trying out the new site). Once ordering is enabled on Beta, the Daily Deals will only be available there.

    OK, now the USB Boe-Bot shows up for $110 but I swear that earlier today there was no discount price. I missed last years aniiversary special and I haven't seen anything spectacular till recently. Why is everything when I don't have money but when I have money there is nothing. For those of you who still don't know where to find the daily deal: The main Parllax page has a link to the Beta site just under the Project and Object of the Week buttons. Once you are at the beta site scroll down and the Daily Deal is in the lower left corner. It changes daily except for during the weekend. I've gotten quite a few items from either a Daily Deal or some other special though I have full price for a few items.
