Deal Sites

**giambona** · 07-03-2001, 12:32 PM

What deals sites do you frequent? I usually come here and also to http://www.pinnacledeals.com

**fabfore1** · 07-03-2001, 12:48 PM

No offense or anything.

But why would you go to a site that has "one" deal posted in there deals forum?

you know where i go for deals? http://www.gotapex.com, you should definately try it

**giambona** · 07-03-2001, 10:36 PM

Don't get me wrong, I love the Got|Apex? forums but this site seems to have more deals on their deals page.

**eSDee** · 07-03-2001, 10:43 PM

that site looks just like Maggies, except without all the traffic

**giambona** · 07-03-2001, 11:15 PM

Yeah, I guess it does look a little like it.

Of course, gotapex is my favorite, especially the forums page which is updated all day long by the readers; After that:

http://www.techbargains.com

http://www.dealhunting.com

http://www.bigbigsavings.com

http://www.amazing-bargains.com

And for deals throughout the day:

http://www.ubid.com

http://www.egghead.com

http://www.half.com

Another that I watch is
http://www.HotDealsClub.com/

That pinnicle site totally jacked our Suckage/Not-Suckage forum!!! But the funny part is that the admins are the only ones who use the forums. Thank god Gotapex never had that problem. They built up their user base before putting a forum in.

**leemaj** · 07-05-2001, 01:25 AM

hey, all of you failed to mantion anandtech! but you know what? it WONT LET ME JOIN THE FORUMS!!! keeps on saying "your e-mail address has been banned from the forums" wtf! i tried 2 hotmails, and one aol addy and still. Thanks God fot Apex.

**Leon** · 07-05-2001, 02:01 AM

Anandtech has long banned free email addresses.

**leemaj** · 07-05-2001, 12:14 PM

yea, but AOL isnt free, and they still wouldnt let me do it

**sbp** · 07-05-2001, 01:00 PM

hapoo: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

pinnacledeals.com is a new site that just started. It takes time to build up a viewing audience and bbs membership. Good luck on your site giambona.

Anandtech had a problem with trolls using free email addresses. Hence the reason why people can't register with certain email addresses {like yahoo).

**MaggieOK** · 07-06-2001, 08:30 AM

That guy completely ripped off my site, word for word. He even went so far as to spam the url in MY message boards and have his personal contact info available through whois.

If it goes on, I will sue him without hesitation.

**ChrisMG187** · 07-10-2001, 10:04 PM

for some reason, i am not authorized to view that page

**sbp** · 07-10-2001, 10:36 PM

The front page was taken down as soon as the news broke that site ripped off Dealhunting.
However other pages are still up.
