    VERY glad I saw a card I really needed last night and pulled the trigger at 20%. Of course I can pretty much ignore the cards I put a watch on now.

    On a side note, while I like the discount, I doubt it will have a lasting effect on MS Live Search. Maybe that is why it is dropping or Bill Gates is running out of money!!

    Right now it's 0%!! Crap!! BUT, I've seen it go from nothing to big%, so keep an eye on it! There's no way it's over already, they're just getting warmed up.
  • goose3goose3 Posts: 11,471 ✭✭✭
    I just checked and it's 10 percent.

    I bet it's done by Xmas.
  • RonBurgundyRonBurgundy Posts: 5,491 ✭✭✭
    They probably wanted a big boost to kick off holiday shopping. They'll do the same once it gets within ten days of Christmas. Then when we need it the most in bloody January, it won't be there.

    I don't know why anyone would continue to use live search after this promotion is over. Google will still remain the better search engine.

    Is that what this is all about? I was wondering what was in it for Microsoft.

    Good for you.

    I could be wrong, but they might also be able to charge advertisers more by showing them how much action their search feature receives.

    looks like it's down to 0% - just logged in to my account and tried to go shopping. Discount doesn't show anywhere.

    Happened to me too, just keep hitting refresh on the search results page and 15% should appear sooner or later.

    Thanks for the tip. I only refreshed maybe 8 or 9 times searching "PSA" and it came up 15% off.....

    good call, Nick. That did the trick.

    15% for me...at 10:45. Grabbed two more items that both maxed out at $200 Cashback, so I didn't need the 30% although I've got two more items earmarked if that level comes back!

    Yep, I'm seeing 15% again, keep going up baby!!! image
  • MBMiller25MBMiller25 Posts: 6,056 ✭✭
    At 13% as of today Saturday 12/6/08. This thing smells like its going POOF!
  • jeffcbayjeffcbay Posts: 8,951 ✭✭✭✭
    After about 20 searches, I got it to say 15%. No matter how much they bribe me (which I do appreciate), nothing will make me use anything other than Google for a search engine.

    I got a $20 off coupon on $50 spent at Walmart.com via PayPal. There might be a consumer electronics need this holiday season, so that'll be nice.

    Sweet! No % off at all right now.

    Seriously, though, this is another one of those technical glitches on the eBay side. Hopefully when they get it back up and running, it goes up to 30%

    Fingers crossed!

    I'm still seeing 15% here. You just have to continue to do searches such as wii, iphone, baseball cards, PSA, t206, wii ebay, iphone ebay, Canon, etc. Trust me it'll evenually come up at 15%... but I need 25% or 30% before I start shopping again.
  • leadoff4leadoff4 Posts: 2,392 ✭
    Right now the search using PSA is working.
  • rube26105rube26105 Posts: 10,225 ✭✭
    me too, i got a 700$ card i want 30% on, not 15image
  • JiveTalkinStuJiveTalkinStu Posts: 6
    Jive Talkin Stu here. I got bros who work for the MSN shiznit and they be tellin me to look for 25% next week
  • leadoff4leadoff4 Posts: 2,392 ✭
    I'm callin' for 25% next week and 30% the week before Christmas. Anyone think there's a chance it goes over 30%???
  • bosoxphanbosoxphan Posts: 107 ✭✭
    I hope it stays down for awhile. Sellers were starting to mark their BIN prices up 20% cause they knew sellers were getting 20-30% off. They wanted to pocket some of that microsoft money.
  • onebamafanonebamafan Posts: 1,318 ✭✭
    My guess............20-25% on Monday again.
