This really is an amazing offer. They are only doing it as an experiment into how the interweb works.

I have told loads of people who are filling their boots.
This is just one incredible offer.

Not sure how they are doing that given that the apparent offer hasn't even started yet: http://stormhoek.com/ - "For ten days from 30 November until 10 December Threshers will be running a 40% off sale at their stores"

If I'm not mistaken, Threshers are part of a chain with Wine Rack and Bottoms up. They run a permanent 3 for 2 deal which can throw up some decent bargains but they tend to mark everything up at the highest possible price to allow the 3 for 2. From time to time they do a 40% off everything promotion. Sounds like they're doing one shortly. There are definitely some bargains to be had but it's not that unusual for this to happen.

40% is (just) better than 3 for 2.
And this is across their stock.
But it does show how high their profit margin is.
