    Heh heh, a lot of stalkers can now breathe a sigh of relief, now that they've gotten their homecoming set. :)

    I hope everyone who was chasing Homecoming managed to wake up in time and catch it! Hopefully, there's no more cases of people stepping out to go to the bathroom, make coffee or have a shower! :P

    Because all those things are inconsequential when compared to the DD! 8)

    Got it too!!!! Watching those last few closely on my iPad at work! I was sure they were going to happen when the timing was such that I wouldn't be able to be on. Happy homecoming dance. :mrgreen:

    I'm still wondering whether I should really wake up in the middle of the night to get the Show Stopping Styles Collection.
    Thanks~ If it wasn't on this great deal I'd probably never have it, I've loved it since it showed up and was worrying it'd not be one a sale for a long time since it's still so new.
    And also thanks for that earlier friend request. :D

    That's such a tough decision. D: I hope if you do it doesn't take too much out of you.

    got homecoming, such a cute set.

    I really like The Coffee Bean Hipster Loft, but going to have to wait on that one, so I have points to get some of the smaller sets coming up.

    Now I can relax, lurk and let OE take the lead until Man Cave comes around again.

    Just noticed that I am at 299 on previous post, so, this should be 300. I did get the grill sold out at 1:54 and missed the exact time for grove as I was hovering over the buy button for the page switch. :lol:
    I've seen many new names just today and welcome to the DD madness. It is an addiction that doesn't even go away when you own most of the store, because you will want to hang out and help others find the path to superbuys and domino chain effects in the compilations.
    James, love the new avatar. Just make sure you stay our funny James. :D
    I was happy to get home from work in time to enjoy buying Homecoming. My hubby managed to catch the Olympian during the night. I'm also thrilled that they fixed the grill problem and so many were able to get it. I'm gonna go do my paperwork for now. Have fun!

    At least it lasted the whole 2 hours the last time so there's not much of a chance of me missing it!
    I'm dying to try out all the new items I've aquired recently, and also plug in some new lighting mods to make the worlds look awesome at the same time. Whee, I'm excited :D

    Thought Homecoming would never appear on the screen, really thought the Grove would go quicker than it did! Glad everyone seems to have been able to grab it.
    Now I'm not sure whether to risk going into my game as I really want the Glitter and Glam bedroom coming up later but not sure if that Island compilation will go fast or slow?

    @Alli - Great CYS calculator for people to use.
    The best way is to view the image. In other words if you right click the clothing picture and select "view image" (or the equivalent in whatever browser your using) there's a code in the URL.
    What to look at is right after "skins/" before the name of the item, a two letter code.
    Great tip. I knew about letter codes in the file names, but I have only seen file names after I downloaded the files. Now I will know where to look before purchasing.

    Oh! I just loaded up the spreadsheet you guys were all talking about. That IS a handy tool!! That's a crazy amount of work for someone to do for all of us. If the creator is online I'd like to say THANK YOU!!! for all that work!
    Thanks for the note of appreciation. I hope it helps to grab those deals.

    I do want to stress that this rotation includes so many deals that have been selling out from less than a minute to less than a half hour. Since I am only able to update the spreadsheet when OE allows it, the estimates can become inaccurate in a blink of a deal. Right now, in the span of 30 minutes, a few hours were shaved off the estimated starting times of the upcoming deals because the Grill, the Grove and Homecoming all ended extremely early. When using the spreadsheet, please take note of the deal number when the spreadsheet was last updated. That number is listed in the notes on the top left of the main spreadsheet.

    Please note that tomorrow is a work day for me. There will be a long stretch during which I will not be able to update the times.

    Serenity Retreat sold out early. Can't quite remember what was left on the clock -- maybe a little under an hour? Possibly 40 minutes.

    Did anyone else catch that?
    It began in about 10.30 GMT/UTC/forum time, normally it should be ended at 12.30, it's 01.12 now and the african set is ended in 48 mins. :shock: I don't know, but I think the venue was ended on the last minutes.
    Thanks for this information. It was what I needed to fill in the "holes" in the past deals for me to calculate how long the deals lasted.

    Thanks again to the DD stalkers who post the time remaining or how long the deals lasted.

    Island Compilation sold out in 4 minutes during the first cycle. The two deals that followed sold out early: one in 95 minutes and one in 15 minutes.

    Glitter and Glam Bedroom is one of my favourite bedroom sets.

    Thanks, I think I have a system that will allow more people to use it at the same time (maybe), but it will need to wait until I have some free time to work on it more. I just know that CYS w/sale discounts can be a hard thing to wrap your mind around, and I wanted to try and help others, because I remember how hard it was for me to figure out.

    Enjoyed catching up on all the posts. I'm so glad not the only one to stay up late waiting for some items. I wanted homecoming but couldn't bring myself to spent that much for cloth items. Lol I have the same problem in real life. My poor sims get stuck in the same clothes day after day lol...

    Now waiting for the sun and surf set :-)

    I just missed Homecoming. It's one of the few sets I have on my wish list. I have a few of the items, but at this price it would have been worth buying the set...

    Oh, well, better luck next time... It's good to have something left to wish for, right? :mrgreen:
