Is it just my computer or is there a couple left in stock. I can still add to cart and purchase one, though I won’t because I already got one.
Nobody cares about the 50’s, they’re still there. I was just really psyched because for 100, I could get 250 worth of goodies and have the pleasure of the surprise when unboxing them. 50’s’ll probably just have a fundametal and another Steel Whistler.
There are still some $50 boxes
After 7 now… ???
This is from the YYE blog:
“First – get an account on the YoYoExpert forum if you want a message notification. Otherwise you can also just watch the General discussion for a post to pop up there.”
I don’t think that meant everyone was getting a PM. I think it meant a notification that a new post had been made. That’s what I thought anyway.
And… it’s very sad to see the ungratefulness in some of these posts. YYE doesn’t have to do anything like this at all. I think it’s wonderful that they do every year though. Even with the hate that they get from it.

@Aaron and @Full that’s great of you guys. I would probably do so too, because there’s no way I could give my love and time to all those yoyos ;D
If there’s a CZM8 in that box I will be mad, probably getting on on Black Friday
It really is sad to see the entitlement of some people, although I guess that’s the reason why Black Friday has become the complete mess it is. I read somewhere last week, only in America would people spend a day giving thanks for the things they have, then trample over others for a discount the next day.

Because the world revolves around you and you are the only person that this applied to, not every single person that was looking in this thread.

There is no longer a remaining count but it still let me purchase. So I am a happy camper!
If there’s still one for sale by tomorrow I will definitely beg my parents to get one, especially since CZM8 might be in there <.>
hubstacked metal + undersized throw… those are my prayers, morning and night mantra.
Man, I will be seriously bummed if there is one left by tomorrow! Maybe next year they should just do $100 boxes, seems like that is the hot ticket item!
Some people like me do care about the 50’s, stop being salty and lay it off. You’re ruining it for other people.

I missed out on the $100 boxes . So what …
No big deal . Now I have a chance to take advantage of yoyoexperts black friday /cyber Monday sale where they usually have that buy any two yoyos listed and save 50%!!
It’s actually still letting people check out with $50 boxes, I just tried it. Just for giggles though, I didn’t go all the way through with the transaction. They’re still there for those of you that want them!
refresh… refresh… refresh… Nothing!!!
Still get the same page?? Not seeing the announcement. It could be your browser. Sometimes browsers will load a page out of cache and you will see the same page 50 times. I’ve seen this happen a bit.

I guess I’ll have to admit that I look at posts like this and literally laugh. I think most of the other adults are laughing too. Even if you saw the boxes in stock, even if you were the first one to get on when the countdown ended, you were not guaranteed to get a box. You could have created the best of circumstances for yourself, and still not get what you wanted. This was based on “luck,” because as they advertised, the boxes, especially the larger boxes, were of very limited quantity. Every Black Friday store event, online, or off-line involves sheer luck as part of success. You can create the best of circumstances for yourself, but you are not entitled, and there was no guarantee. They advertised that this event is luck based, and there are very limited quantities.
I did not get a collector’s box, what I was aiming for, but I only really dedicated myself to paying attention to announcements the first day. I did not get one, and got what was available instead, to take part in the “mystery,” and get a shot at the grand prize. I laughed at myself when I struck out, and then life moved on. I can use that other money toward other Black Friday shopping.
The $50 boxes were in stock for some time after the countdown on each of the three days. If you were like me, and you were chasing the larger box with the worst chance of success, you may have gambled and lost. I spent a long time trying to get the collector’s box, then when it was out of stock, I had to join everyone else, and try to get the small box. The small boxes were available, so how about one of those?
I guess nevermind the fact that YoyoExpert and YoyoFactory give you an opportunity to take advantage of a sale like this. Nevermind that some of us have fun with the process, and the chance to get what we wanted, or not, while in competition with everyone else. Nevermind that they gave us three days, and three different ways to get notice about it. Nevermind that they put up with silly questions, and preparation and time away from regular store business for days to set this up. Nevermind that you had a great chance of getting a small box, when the larger boxes were out of stock. Nevermind that you were forewarned that there was limited quantity and there was “luck” involved in the process. Nevermind that little kids, who apparently don’t know how computers work, kept refreshing their browser, instead of being patient with the system, which caused the crashing in the first place.
It doesn’t seem any error was made by the store, but even if it was, I guess nevermind the good work they do all year long, all the sponsoring and charities, because you didn’t get a premium mystery box. If you really wanted a mystery box, you should have been trying all three days. What is your excuse for not getting one on Monday and Tuesday? You were not waiting for a PM on those days. If you tried just one day and struck out, you had an even worse chance of getting a premium box.
I might be the only one, but part of the fun of the mystery boxes for me, is reading the messages of the people who are real sore after they don’t get anything. These things are so much fun.

Total Artist’s words of wisdom thanks TA that post puts this whole thing in words its fun just to try to get it. Last year i was a hardcore guy i had a timer set up and was hawking the site it took me till the very last sale to get one this time i waited thirty minutes then still got the first try. This is all about the experience, whether or not you get a box or not its all about having fun,
