Blank media sales (updated weekly, daily, hourly)

Like i said to the other poster, i don't see what the problem is; i (on crappy diallup no less) manage to sift thru tons of stuff each day (most of which i have zero interest in i might add! ie i'm just lurking on with my mod hat in use). It's not like sifting thru loads of spam and adverts and crap in an inbox, this is one single tiny little thread with a few regular updates.
'fraid i don't see how it can be made any simpler/lazier than it already is (smiley added on the end)

On a serious note, here in the UK, whilst known affectionately as Ripoff Britain, we don't have decent media sales that i'm aware of, and we most certainly don't have such a thing as rebates (the very thought of rebates in the UK would warrant time spent in the Tower of London). What we get instead is VAT
Brick and mortar stores are a complete and utter ripoff for most things, including media, and in my humble opinion the few times i've ever seen sales the prices have still not equalled online prices so i personally find that it's cheaper and more convenient to buy online. Shipping can be found for free so that rules out the alleged convenience of brick and mortar buying. ..Apart from the one single time i found loads of Verbatim (MCC004) in tubs of 50 for £5 each. I snagged the last 5 tubs they had in that day (killed me walking back to work with them but it was worth it). I went back each day for a week but they were obviously the last and were at a clearance price. That's the only time i've ever seen a walk in store offer anything of value in media.

As to media sales in general, i personally only buy media in bulk. In fact i still have most of the Taiyo Yuden TYG02 that i bought back in 2005. I do regularly burn a lot of media, but i buy in bulk beforehand, the last 800 or so Verbatim was bought at least a year ago, and not on sale, Verbs here go for around £18 per 100 so i guess we don't need to worry about sales much on this side of the pond. I also buy Maxell in the high hundreds, again not for at least a year but go for about about £12 per 100. However i realise that I can't speak for US prices or for other peoples' buying methods ie just buying a small amount of media each time there's a sale - that's an alien concept to me but i appreciate other people have different habits.

Back to the topic of the amount of posts in this thread, all joking aside, i simply cannot see how skimming thru one single thread is slower than going thru the first page of the Media forum, and bearing in mind (before the single sales thread) that there were always a few sales threads going at the same time.
'fraid we can't please all of the people all of the time, all i can offer is that i follow silly amounts of threads/posts/stuff here every day hence those of you sales hungry people can quite easily follow a few posts in one single measly thread

 

Jeez, you try and clean the place up to keep it nice and tidy and still get hit with scattershot. I made one thread because I was tired of clicking on one thread to realize the sales in it were from three weeks ago, but people were still using it....so I'd move on to the 15 other ones trying to find what I wanted. Oh well...bye bye.

BTW, creaky made his last post on his Nokia phone....

 

Hehe the link doesn't work but i get the sentiment
I have to disconnect/reconnect every 2MB or so of traffic which equates to every half hour or so, sometimes less than a couple of minutes (am using mobile broadband in an area with virtually no coverage, was the only real choice for internet access at the mo).
Even diallup phoneline modems were never this bad or frustrating.

Anyways, Loco is quite right, the single sales thread idea works far better than the old method.. ..we just need you lot to skim-read them
