Marketing at it's finest! Special buys and overstock. Some prices are good and some NOT. I get emails from 4 sites and they are hurting in this messed up economy. Here is a BS mail from one I get. Limited offer so buy now.
Largest Special of the Year! Will be reducing the number of cigars on Special starting Monday! Hurry!

Pure marketing and nothing else..
With all the check and balances, do you really think they screwed up?

So what deals do they actually have? I went and looked at the site, but really didnt see anything that jumped out at me as a "super deal". Well, maybe the Gurkha Legend Churchill bundle....
Is it just that the deals are listed in an email or, was it an actual flyer of some kind?

Not as many checks and balances as you'd think there should be. I remember one other time I sent out a coupon code and didn't check "%" so it gave everyone a $15 discount on our site instead of 15%. Which meant a whole bunch of people got stuff for free or like 50% off etc. Then again, we didn't send out an e-mail telling everyone to come take advantage of my mistake when it happened lol. Man, why haven't they fired me yet lol? Probably because all y'all still like me

yeah, BUT... if you put out a catalog of items with prices advertising what you paid for them and sell it at that, you lose money figuring the overhead, employees, storage, etc. So the quickest course of action to minimize the damages is to put out a correction.
Instead they say they goofed and you should buy them at these unprofitable prices. Nah... I'm not buying it. (literally and figuratively)

Can't help it...I'm curious as to what you guys consider good deals.  also, I saw this last night just before I logged off: Quote:Offers valid while supplies last. JRCigar.com is not responsible for typographical errors.
