Mofos got wind of the shit jumping off, and on the Josh Clark message boards they created waiting lists, or "Conga Lines," for people to sign up and refer others with...
Well, the company offering the deal (which is located about 15 minutes from where I live) couldn't deal with the intense demand, and also got wind of the Conga Lines, so they instead inserted a little clause in their agreement which said that anyone who was found to be in a so-called "Conga Line" was no longer eligible for the deal...
After they disqualified enough people for that shit, they then decided that they would substitute the Macbook Pro with a Sony computer...
When that shit didn't work, they inserted another clause in their agreement which said that they would go on head and pay people some money to go away (er, I mean, "compensate the buyer with the retail $2000 price of the computer"... again, I got $600)...
I'm very hesitant to get involved in something like that again... and I think that what the folks at Josh Clark decided to do was to set the "Conga Line" at a small, finite number to avoid last year's rush of people...
Don't get me wrong, the shit is legit and it works, but the problem is is that everybody and their mama gets wind of some shit and it explodes, and people end up getting hoed... you have to just be up on the offers the moment they go up on the site, and respond quickly, and you'll get what you want... ________________________________________________________________________ "I don't want a president I can have a beer with, I want one that can think." - Aaron Sorkin
