    has anybody who waited in the cue actually won anything?
    I was in the queue for the water jug for about 20 mins.
    got fed up and clicked off it.
    then when i won the radio the jug was in my basket - so it is worth checking!!

    i was in the queue yesterday for nearly an hour but i had to refresh as i wanted to click on the next item.
    im not sure how long people have been waiting in the queue but ive give up now..lol

    I've opened another window to look for next bargain. It would be nice to know if anyone has waited in the queue for a long time and then been sucessful wouldn't it.

    i think they could put a turd on there for a tenner and still someone would click lol hope u get the lego if thats what ur after though!


    I do believe they would!
  • Right, i've got to know (i haven't read the whole thread mind) has ANYONE actually managed to buy anything using this?!? I wanted the earrings for my mrs (although having read the description a bit closer im glad i didnt get them! I tend not to buy my mrs cheap sh*t!) and i clicked on the add to basket button literally as soon as it appeared, but they still sold out!! !!!!!!??? Are people just sitting there waiting for anything or what?!

    Moral of the story - people will buy anything if you tell them its a good deal!

    I think some of the deals are silly but yesterday I got the Photoshop elements 9, scrabble trickster and box of chocs and they are on their way to me!:j I also managed to get beatles CD today and in q for camera still. Never got anything through queueing though.
  • IMO this is getting better as relisted items the price is known and so less people will be clicking unless they truly want the item, hence real buyers can get their choice.
    I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove a thing! ;)
    Quidco and Topcashback, £4,569
    Shopandscan, £2,840
    Tesco Double The Difference, £2,700
    Thomson EU261/04 Claim, £1,700
    British Airways EU261/04 Claim, EUR1200

    theres a lot more non buying than buying, a heck of a lot of people are adding to their baskets and dumping the items out again but it's too late and amazon deem that as a claimed good even if it isn't checked out. at this rate by friday we will have stuff being put back on sale every 5 minutes
