My boneheaded move

atticusmasatticusmas Member Posts: 84 Arc User
So since I figured I'd get some money for my birthday which was yesterday, I wanted to take advantage of the LTS sale and get it. I got enough money to get it at reduced 200 price - and planned on getting it on the 21st, the day the sale ended. They had said the sale ended on the 21st, I had thought it went THROUGH the 21st. I was an idiot.

Sigh. I wish they had been a little more clear on this one, now I won't be buying anything...

    The exact day and "time" was listed in the blog post for the sale. Next time perhaps read the blog and put a post it note on your computer for a reminder.

    I suppose I will. All I read was the LTS page that said it ended on the 21st. I should've known that meant it was GONE on the 21st.

    To be fair, I see the OP's perspective. In my job if something is due on the 21, you typically have until 11:59 pm that day to submit it. Occasionally it's 'close of business'

    'Due' isn't the same as 'end' (fun fact: they do share 66% of the same letters) but I could very easily see myself making the same assumption he did under those circumstances.

    To OP, don't get me wrong i do feel for your loss.

    I was just trying to say that the "time" was posted tho...my suggestion is any time Cryptic has a sale going on, just go look up the end day and time, then toss that old post it note right in front of your face on your computer...alot harder to forget something if its staring you right in the face everyday hehe

    The sad part is I did sort of do just that - I put a crapload of reminders on my calendar and a crapload of email reminders, too. Next time though, I'll spam my computer with sticky notes hehe

    Hold onto the money. The sale will come around again.

    Happy Birthday, OP. I got the LTS as a birthday gift from my family at the beginning of the month.Don't worry, the sale will come around again. I was afraid you were going to say:you had spent $50 on the Oddessy pack.

    If Marketing is taking any suggestions, October would be just fine!
