Re: FRC Blogged-FIRST Chocie-Liquidation

Oh not again.....

Am I really going to have to stop teaching in the middle of my class (or get someone to cover) on Monday morning to make an AndyMark order? How do they choose these opening times? Mentors ARE AT WORK trying to earn a living in what little time we spend away from FRC.

It's like Black Friday at Best Buy. People are going to get virtually trampled on this one, again...

I know I don't have to make an order but when there's goods this good that are just being handed out, I have to make an order. You just can't pass on an opportunity like that. When it's free, who says "no thanks"? At least charge something for them maybe.

Also, so what happens when you try to press your luck, order gets sent to FIRST for review, and you end up with nothing? How much is too much? Can we pre-request quantities, or at least know the quantities?

Why don't they just eBay the darn stuff and roll it into their operating budget? Heck, I'd be content with them sweeping it into an office cake fund, just for us to not go through this again.
