Subject: Why did the Bungie store sale prices change?!?!?!?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I woke up this morning (was going to buy the swag today, my mistake) and some of the prices of the items sky rocketed.

The Backpack was $71.99 now it is $89.99, the Charity Poster is now $30.00 instead of $24.00, the Mug is now $19.99 instead of $15.99.

I thought the sale didn't end till Monday. Are they cutting the sales in half or am I just screwed becuase I didn't buy fast enough?

DeeJ did say the sale would last through Sunday:

I guess by "through Sunday" he meant that the sale would end this morning. I figured he meant that they would end tonight.

Well I got the Bungie Mug, Bungie Track jacket, and Bungie Money Clip in my cart and I am going to buy them soon. (having trouble with the credit card right now).

I wanted that sexy backpack but it is too much right now, if there is a Christmas sale I will DEFINITELY buy the back pack.

And I am sure the money clip and Mug will be kind of limited. Plus I <3 the star design.

As did I, but apparently we were wrong. The exact time the sale was ending would have been helpful, but DeeJ did also say "while supplies last," so Ken, if you wanted to buy an item, it would have been sensible to buy it as soon as possible anyway.

So the prices went from slightly overpriced to even more overpriced? Doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

$4= Skyrocketed

I suppose the sale just ended. You probably should have bought stuff while you had the chance to get it cheaper. But at least now, you're 'supporting' bungie even more! Shouldn't you be happy about that?

It was for the black friday sale.... Usually really good deals on prices are for that day only, then they go back to normal.

I hate you unless I'm drunk.

You consider that a skyrocket?

When the prices doubles, then come crying.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

Hey now, $20 for a scarf isn't half bad and I needed one anyway. But I do agree with that on most other stuff.

- Dawes, A little bit of everything

Damn, that's like a drastic 25% price hike. Perhaps a "Black Friday" sale is only on "Black Friday."

EDIT: I didn't read before posting, someone else beat me to it. Anyway, to answer your question, ken, you're screwed because you didn't buy them when the sale was happening.

Sorry if there seemed to be hidden messages in my grammar. Such was not the intention. I did not mean to dupe, flim-flam, or hornswaggle any of you.

For the puposes of future clarification, please allow me to explain how the word "through" works... When I indicate a condition (such as a sale) that is in effect "through" something, my meaning is that said condition would only remain active while we are still within the confines of that specific frame.

Sorry if this is still complicated. We are dealing in abstract concepts. Allow me employ a metaphor to break down the barrier that separates us from a state of understanding.

Let's say that you and I are on a cross-country roadtrip. Maybe we are headed for PAX East. Maybe we just find ourselves fed up and want to get away from it all. Anyway... One requirement of the journey is that you agree to let me poke you in the eye as we drive through the state of South Dakota. Why I would want to do that is irrelevant. This is a mere contrivance to aid us in our quest for truth.

Now, as we drive through that endlessly wide state, you will be wondering why you agreed to this. You would be desperate to cross that domestic border. If my assualt on your ocular receptor continued as we entered the great state of Minnesota, my persistance would be met with enormous protest.

"DeeJ!", you would scream... "We made it through South Dakota. That was the deal. Now, STOP!"

That was basically what I meant when I said that sale prices would last through Sunday. If you think of Monday in the same terms as Minnesota, the sale is over. Next time, I will be more precise, like "This sale is completely, totally, and beyond a shadow of a doubt over at midnight on blah, blah, blah..."

Thank you for reading this. Tune in next week, when I hold a fireside chat about the meaning of the word "skyrocket". In the meantime, the Bungie Store is still open for business.

Love, DeeJ.
