Krack Dealer on March 11th, 2009
Sorry guys they were sold out. The moment we sent the newsletter. Less than 30 seconds …no joke sold out. Just keep your eyes on the next newsletter and this website for the next up coming deal.

Cheers

- Nate

freaking stupid... 3? 3!
what a gimmick.

don't know what the angle is here unless they can get items for less than 55% retail or something. Maybe just taking a loss on these items to start excitement about this "Plastic Krack" site. I'm sure people will be anxious for the next deal. Seems like an overall big picture marketing/sales strategy. I hope it works for Nate. He's had lots of other unique ideas before (bitkingdom innercircle) and that has appeared to work.

3x $10 is dirt cheap for a marketing ploy.

Yea, I know I went over to the site right quick after seeing that they were <50$. Of course, then I saw they only had 3, sighed, and came right back here just as quick. Otherwise, I probably would have bought 3 myself.

they have an inner circle deal, its like 46% off but i havnt tried it.

and what do you have to do to claim this? probably pay a fee of some sort...

It is going to get old real quick if every 'deal' is of the ultra-limited quantity variety...

If it sounds too good to be true... Well you know what they say.

Actually, yes, I do know...

He's got Stompa's up today, all day long apparently.

stupid krack dealers!

I'm willing to roll the dice, I suppose.

Hope this doesn't turn into a "Gorrila Tactics" thing though...

I'm not an Orc player, but I've dealt with him in the past. No problems, though he uses Skype for his phone and can be hard to hear him . . .

Done a few orders with him in the past too, no issues. A little skeptical about the stompa, knowing what I do about big demand new release and GW. I wont be supprised if we get a message about supply issues being beyond his controle, but then again because of its high price there maybe be plenty off them in a warehouse.

I just put in an order, he's really fast with email responses. So hopefully some stompy death is on its way. I'll let you all know how this turns out.

Looks like he's doing something different every day. Nice. I love the woot.com business strategy.

Yeah, I believe it's like $50 a month but you can order up to $500 worth a month at that discount but each order has to be over $100. I'm not sure if that's 100% correct but it's something like that.

I'll definitely keep an eye on plastic krack, though. The method will work well for impulse buyers. hell, I almost just bought a $64 dollar Stompa and I don't even play Orks! If I wasn't so addicted to resin Krack, and all the pending charges that come with ordering from FW, I might have!

Today's deal:

The Gameboard from Games Workshop Retails For $290 + tax + shipping

The Krack Deal: $190

I recall seeing a thread about people complaining about the cost of the board and how if it was "30-50%" cheaper they would buy one.

Hmm... Guess we'll see.

the deal he has is that inner circle deal. 50 bucks a month, 42% off GW boxes only (as he has all but taken all the blisters off the program), min order is 100 bucks, max of 1500 dollars/month.

in theory it is a great deal for clubs. however he is the slowest distributer I have ever dealt with. it generally takes him 2 weeks to get your order in (after paying him at the time of order). I currently have never received an item in faster than 3 1/2 weeks after I ordered it. and half of my orders have been missing items, or have items back ordered. its just not a good business he is running.

he has never screwed me on anything but my time, patience, or small pieces of my soul everytime I have to deal with him, it just takes too long. I would rather pay more and get my stuff fast from the warstore. just my 2 cents.

Their prices are great and the communications are perfect if you get them by phone or skype. I have made several orders with bitkingdom and I am efinately going to be a returning customer for a while.

This makes it all a little (a lot!) less appealing.

Proof will be in the pudding though...

Slow doesn't bother me. I wouldn't even be ready to GET TO anything I ordered for over amonth, anyway.

Also, for those of you talking about his delivery times... Are these "regular" purchases or "Inner Circle" purchases?

Thanks.

Eric

inner circle purchases on my part. although I have several friends that have ordered non inner circle orders from him and had the same problem.

I've ordered from him (non-inner circle) and had good response time for delivery of my order.

To be fair, he is mentioning the longer lead time on the Stompa order.

I placed an order for one, we'll see how long it takes to show up!

Inner Circle orders make sense to me, in regards to being late. Being a small seller, I can't see that he could really afford to have that quantity on hand.
For "normal" sized NON BKIC orders, though, it seems that more than a week or 2 is a bit much.
