If you looked at Dans order numbers, it only amounts to about an 80k loss (really less considering cost price) for them, even if you add SD orders and non-clicks- shouldn't be more than a 150-200k loss (remember most ppl couldn't get through site crash).
For a company worth over 12 billion, it's just lunch money- not that they would just throw that away but doubtful they were sitting around worrying about this all day- they got bigger concerns..
Your right a lot of ordes didn't go through that was after it was posted on main site, we have no way of knowing how many people placed orders not using that link. And I think for a company that has to go and sent out New phones to everyone that has their note 7, $200k might bother them.

I guess "bother" is a good choice of words. Like a mosquito bite type of bother.

It was on SD all day. It's way more than $200K.
This decision is awaiting approval in Seoul. And it's waiting because they do indeed have bigger fish to fry.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Remember, you have to calculate based on cost price, not sales..

Was the site crashing all day, or only from when Dan put out the word?

I don't know about all day, but it was slow before DDMS.

ROFL. You really think DDMS accounted for 50% of the orders? This was all over the internet for hours before it was tweeted about by @dansdeals.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

curious as to why the deal only died once it hit DDMS if DDMS didn't account for a significant percent of these orders?

Perhaps the others were smart enough not to call

Because the site was pretty slow before, and everyone from DDMS hit it at the same minute. The others were spread out over hours.

From looking at other forums it seems that people had already called in earlier and that the site was not severely crashing before DDMS..
Like it or not, seems that DDMS took this thing to a new level..

Could anyone explain how these codes work? It's not a price mistake, so presumably it is a legitimate offer (albeit one that's hard to understand). If not, how does it work?

Probably some type of glitch. Maybe onetime use, 100 off xxx or something like that.

so why do you even look at sites with deals? That's against your whole logic. Just stick to just shmooze section and you will be all fine

Because I know some are stupid enough to post things they shouldn't.  :)
