I'm sure someone will mention this and I definitely have the same idea, I want to try to actually sell/get these to people who aren't just trying to resell them but I also don't have time to plan out a raffle or anything, plus that kind of defeats the whole flash sale portion of it.
So I will say this: within the next 10 years, if someone reminds me and there's some good idea to verify like 100 active people on LES quickly and put them in a specific client group, maybe we can do an exclusive LES-only flash sale to try to give people a chance so they're not competing with like a hundred bots.
Last day almost vps had them, but none of $2 and $1, still happiness
Oh the $7 one just been cancel and refund... that's a ... one
Picked up the late $6 Dallas one no problem and higher value ones previously. Still lament the $20 one that I missed when asleep.
I have absolutely no idea how any non-bot captured the $1.11
Someone may have predicted the Asian IPs would be problematic

So what you are saying is that Mason is a bot. That explains a lot of things.
@VirMach said:
Or actually let me ask, did anyone here actually get any of the last 10-20 offers? Share some info, what's the general consensus? Was there enough for you to already grab maybe a sub $10 good deal? Or did it feel like they mass disappeared?
EDIT: The $7, $6, $8.88 and $2.22 are pending. The $20 was provisioned right away.
I'm in the bad boy pit then - I didn't provisioned on the 20 -- I figure it'd get provisioned in time to move the 0.25 over to it.
I was able to get the 6.66 and the 2.22 - I think if I didn't blink I would have gotten the 1.11 as well.

Looking forward to rebranding LES as MJJSpirit and selling it to Biloh in a couple years 🤑
This actually makes me wonder, would you ever consider a buyout? It would suck to see this forum go the way of LET.
Nah, not in the cards. Was offered like $5k (I think? Maybe it was $10k) for the site some time ago by the Offshore Solutions guy, but quickly turned it down because it's not about the money. If I ever feel burned out and want to take a step back, I'll do the exact same thing that Anthony did and turn the site back over to someone in the community who has a similar mindset to carry the torch.

I got in pending 2 offers from last 10+ offers in the sale which is 6.66$ in new york one and 5$ in dallas The later was easy snatch but the former was pure refresh luck

That's fantastic to hear, I'm glad the leadership here has some morals
I got a very nice VPS, currently not activated, but I can wait.
It is a beautiful thing to be able to buy such a powerful performance for less than $8 VPS.
To get these, I can sacrifice sleep.
I didn't even try to get the best flash deals at the end because it was clear the bots were active and based on past sales there was little hope of competing with them

If it's just like two accounts linked and MSRP is above the price of a coffee then it's basically OK to accept for now, maybe check later if we start seeing a bunch of other bad behavior.
McDonald's coffee ($0.99) or Starbucks coffee ($3.95)?
VirMach VPS quality is comparable to McDonald's, so …

I did not, because I have no hostname left.
I grabbed sub $10 Tokyo deal and it's instantly deployed.

i guess you can hide behind your TOS that animals, deceased people, and split personalities cant legally enter a business contract... Ohh the sacrilege!!
I don't consider VirMach a business contract.
It's entrance into a circus.

Rebrand to Yeti Spirit and sell it me, by then I should be bigger the Bilboh and I shall be overlord of the world. I will move it to my cave and run it off a single cell phone hotspot.
I have a $12.99 still pending from the 2nd though, not sure if it's just fallen through the cracks or falls into one of the categories of other stuff already mentioned. It's tagged as FLASH-SPECIAL-CREATING whereas all the others that are already active are FLASH-SPECIAL it seems.
Also @Mason you'll need to work on the toxicity level here if you want Biloh to buy it, it's generally just cranky rule breaking MJJ because Virmach caught them, that won't keep his attention long or open his wallet much.

why is it 2FA still broken? i had to login using backup code again
I'd need more information. There's not been any thorough reports and I haven't been able to reproduce issues. We've gotten a few angry tickets here and there but it's most just someone basically providing zero information. If anyone wants to drop in a ticket and have a back and forth discussion it would be more productive.
removing 2FA then setting it up again seems fixed my issue

@VirMach The current problem is caused by the current flash sale mechanism. Personally, I suggest changing the current flash sale to a reservation mechanism. After the reservation ends, the program will randomly assign real orders.

I only got $2.22 (Tokyo), but it's still pending. Maybe the reason I got it is because 222MB RAM is not enough for a lot of people.
1.11 and other plans removed from cart 😉

7, 6, 5, 7.47, 12.21,11.11,6.66,1.11
Got these. But all pending
Except for 2.22 which was a hell to get in the cart only to see it disappear
I am usually never lucky... but if these do get provisioned I'd consider m luck getting better @VirMach

Picked up the 11.11 SJ offer since it was better than my other SJ server in terms of price/performance. Half the price with a ton more bandwidth to work with.
Interesting, I noticed that one of my pending servers from the Flash Sale has its name changed, being suffixed with '-CREATING', namely 'FLASH-SALE-CREATING'. Am I marked fraud while the one would be eventually provisioned? :P
