Wow, $0! Looks like quite a deal!

Heh heh, I think I saw it in a magazine for around $1.8 mill. A little further from free, but close, right?

:)

[Butch]

You can get it giftwrapped for $6.50 haha . . . I'd love to see that . . . and can have them add a nice little card!

[ncsurfer]

[roboo7]

[Cyberian]

WOOHOO!

I ordered 20!
e-Bay, here I come!

[phredd]

The item is now unavailable.

[Cheesypuff]

I wonder if it comes in Yellow?

[DragonD]

Great......more greedy people, now theres no more submarines left.....

[beckett]

i know... some people's children... and right around christmas time too!

if you really want a deal on subs, i hear that we can get some pretty hot deals from the Russian navy... they're decomissioning those things left and right. (i got my eye on a lo-mileage Akula/Typhoon class in the North China sea... hands off, guys!)

I just bought my sub and got an order confirmation. I wonder how they're gonna deliver it? Who cares, shipping was free too! I can't wait for my first transatlantic crossing!

Luxury Submarine
Call 1-877-9NM-GIFT to order this underwater fantasy. It's a 118-foot luxury submarine that sleeps 11, displacing 380 tons, with an operating depth of 1,000 feet, submerged range of 160 nautical miles, and speed of 15 knots. Cruising range: 3,000+ nautical miles (sufficient for transatlantic crossings).

[BrewMaster]

I wonder, since I'm only an Ensign, can I drive my own sub, or do I have to hire an Admiral? I mean shit, I own it...

[brainsmile]

it doesn't come with air conditioning!

[Jnmcda0]

Isn't Neiman Marcus a clothing retailer? What the hell are they selling a $78 million sub for???? And why is it free?

[Jnmcda0]

it doesn't come with air conditioning!

Air conditioning? It's a submarine! You're underwater, it won't be hot.

[BrewMaster]

I think I'll sell mine off to some struggling regime in South America. I could ebay it to them for a bargain price of $5 million!(that deal might get posted here at GotApex?)

P.S. I got my confirmation email from NM. They haven't noticed the problem yet...or is it a problem at all...

[DragonD]

Great, now they ran out.......thanks to the greedy people who ordered 20....

[hapoo]

hmm :hmm:
ya think the sub has power windows?? I hate the manual kind.

[bigwillie84]

I just me my first submarine. I can't ait till I have my subwarming party under the ocean thats gonna be a hell of a party. Hey will I be able to drive it or do I have to have a special license hehe. I got my order comformation, how (if they do) will neiman marcus get out of giving me my sub and if they don't deliver can you file a lawsuit?

[BrewMaster]

I'm sure on their website tehy have disclaimer that will release them from it all. It'll say something like "prices subject to change without notice, orders can be canceled at NM's discretion...." Basically, we can't do shit. But hey, this is kinda fun until they say otherwise. I have a feeling that we won't hear jack from them.

[Jnmcda0]

Sorry, but I had to bring this topic back up. At first I thought this was a joke, but they really are selling a submarine (estimated value is $20 million). Apparently the sub was in their Christmas catalog.

Here's an article from the Detroit News about it:

http://detnews.com/2000/features/0009/30/b01-126533.htm

And here's a link to a game called "punchlines" at Heckler's Online in which people wrote a punchline to the headline about Neiman Marcus selling the sub:

http://www.hecklers.com/Punchlines/Archives/1227.php3

[ProMinx]

so...anyone with a tracking number or order confirmation received their sub yet? i want to see what the heck they shipped you guys.
ProMinx
ps - i'm just annoyed that it is now "unavailable" on their website. i want me a submarine! Heh heh.

[bigwillie84]

I went to http://www.neiman.marcus.com and on my order it says canceled so all of you should go check the status of your order.

[sonjamin]

Polaris Missile upgrade available......

AND Y2K compliant!

[dimwit]

Too bad it's only transatlantic. I live on the west coast so it would have to be transpacific to even be considered.

[BrewMaster]

I emailed them to see about my free sub and this is the response I got:


We received your recent inquiry about the luxury submarine
featured in the 2000 Christmas Book.

I am sorry, there is no order for the submarine. You may only
place orders for this item by calling 1 877 9NM GIFT as is

sent your request to our special services department. A

Once again, thank you for shopping with Neiman Marcus
Online. If we can be of further assistance, please do not

Nancy Peabody


We'll see what they say on the phone b/c I got an order confirmation.

[bigwillie84]

I have already called like 3 times and everytime they don't know what to do they sound really scared because I have my conformation letter, shipping info and they even charged my card for $0.00 so I might get legal representation and see what happens hehe

[kain9i6]

My order is gone from when I check it on their webpage.. there is no record of it.. DAMMIT! and I wanted that sub.. I have a few vendettas to take care of in the middle east..

[Tab]

I wanted mine gift wrapped, but when you request it, you get this...

"Due to the distinctive nature of the item,
gift-wrapping is not available. "

What a swizz! Now there will be NO surprise when UPS shows up with it.(They will do the little gift tag though.)

[pangaroo]

WOOHOOOOOOO!!!!
Its available again. I guess they just restocked!!!
I was nice though, i only ordered one. Cant wait!!!

[ugotcarrie]

Yippppeeeeeee! Yippppppeeeeeee! Yippeeeeeee!

I want to have my own submarine races!

[Cyberian]

You guys made me feel so bad that I didn't sell my last 20 on Ebay. I gave them away to emerging nations.
This time I am only ordering one for my own personal use.

[brainsmile]

mine just came in the mail... where am I going to put these nuclear missiles???

[cratejockey]
