Doubt it on the fre shipping. Free stuff + $6 shipping and handling. I still have a gillion of those 32mb memory cards from the old 99cent mystery item promotion. Yeah any ideas on the mystery box? What was in the first left over MB? I think I was in Spain when those came out.

What to do with a 32 MB CF card? I could get a gig which will hold over 30x more than a 32 for around the same price. http://www.google.com/pr...p;show=dd&scoring=p
Storage is so cheap now, I personally wouldn't buy anything under 2 or 4 gigs.

Maybe next time TF can do a negative price, so it'd be worth it  The excruciating magnitude of your philosophical confabulations are simply too voluminous for the diminuity of my comprehension. 22

You've to be very careful with your thinking on the shipping period. The period flat out rolls over at 12 midnight EST. So these cards came up around 11:57PM or so. That means if you bought them before the midnight mark then a few minutes later your shipping status already rolled over, as I understand it and have experienced. So since this is a 24 hour listing, assuming it doesn't sell out early, you would only have a few minutes to order the upcoming MB at the $4 price... a few minutes too late and midnight will roll you over to having to pay $6 again for the MB... I am noticing an alarming trend with most items limiting your max quantity to 2. total. The system even keeps track of how many you picked up in a previous order during the same day now.. Sorry TF, still not a fan of this new shipping system.. You guys make it out like you're doing us a favor by giving us better prices on multiple orders. but given my observations about the very strict ordering quantities now being enforced, AND the strategically timed listings that coincide with the magic midnight hour.... I am beginning to understand the "catch".

I did get a great deal during the blow out day a week or so back, yes indeedy. But that was a very special circumstance, I've been buying mystery boxes but that is about it (which is a lot less than normal for me). If the rollover period was extended, or even made a TRUE 24 hour system (starting at your first bid rather than fixed at midnight) I would be pleased. But I have a feeling this would contradict the reason why they made these changes in the first place.
