+1 reg here. Very excited for this one to get to my front door.
It really was insane how fast these sold out. Just a blur. I was up early on Sunday and got online way too early (my family was still sleeping so this was something I could do that was quiet). It was really tough to not lose focus. Glad I stuck it out because these were gone in two heartbeats. If you turned away from your keyboard for even 10 seconds at the wrong moment you were toast. Congrats to all who scored.

I figure if you bat .200 in Chuck drops you are a million-dollar baby. Sadly I struck out swinging.RiotAct wrote:Scored a reg first Sperry score for me in quite a while.
I like to think the site being down all day yesterday had something to do with my success
But wondered if we hammered EB so hard with Chuck commentary that we took it down, while his stood up to the challenge. Just joshin'…

Was right on top of it yesterday. Made it to paypal, confirm, sold out. Those went very quickly.
same exact scenario…these are microsecond drops and it's really a matter of random selection (by the server) amongst those who are on top of it. Bob, I have a feeling we weren't the only 2 who moved fast and whiffed…just a guess.HisBobness wrote:Was right on top of it yesterday. Made it to paypal, confirm, sold out. Those went very quickly.

+1 Gold Opal for a PB. Haha yeah I think there were a number of factors that made yesterday easier then usual
During the seconds it takes for your F5 to refresh, the add to cart might have gone up. I got lucky this time, but it could have gone either way.FroDawg wrote:same exact scenario…these are microsecond drops and it's really a matter of random selection (by the server) amongst those who are on top of it.

Christ, I was on the drop, pressed 'Buy Now' before it fully loaded and didn't even make it to PP... got the 'Sold Out' prompt before I even made it to PP. drymounting cray, cray, YOveltri wrote:During the seconds it takes for your F5 to refresh, the add to cart might have gone up.

. Exactly. Timing is everything. Sold out in 1 second. Congrats Chuck!!Count wrote:+1 reg here too. Finally broke my Sperry cherry on the 3rd attempt. I must say, Sperry drops are the worst. Hit refresh on the wrong second, and you are toast.
