Secret Millionaire Charity Bonanza!

Hi Guys,

This is it. It's finally here! I don't know why I'm typing this as your all going to look for the link in this post. I was going to hide it but that's just mean! Ha!

Please find the link below to all our special secret deals.. We're going one by one each 30 seconds.

HERE

The hidden message behind all of this, is that it's all for charity!

Please buy as much as you can as all proceeds from today will be going to local charities in and around Manchester to help those people who need it most and who never get the same opportunities as me or you.

Whatever the final total is from today, Aria will match and double the figure, so please please please buy as much as you can where possible!

You'll find Mr Taheri on Channel 4 programme The Secret Millionaire first broadcast next Tuesday 31st May where he goes undercover in ethnically diverse Sparkbrook. More info
HERE.

Be quick! First come-first serve, all limited quantities.

Always are when people don't get what they want. You should of heard some of the whiny bitches we had around here when we had the Christmas comp.

You take the recommended retail price of each item and then times it by the quantity on offer and after doing that for each product you add it all together and then round it off. That's how ALL companys do it.

Computers. Crap aren't they. Never work how we want them to. We should all go back to pen and paper.

Really? Cus it looks like aria just took a load of fairly decent stuff (well it's all gone) then sold it at prices so cheap that it was all gone in about an hour then gave all that money to charity, unless I scanned that page so fast I totally missed the point of it?

So, people camping the site (hate campers /shake fist) got very decent deals and a charity got the money. Fail how? Not sure what you where expecting here.

Edit: Just want to say that I don't hold any loyalty to Aria or any other company or site, but my god the haters do my head in. Just make people not want to do stuff like this in the future which just ****s it all for the rest of us.

I didn't get anything either by the way as I showed up late after needing to be at a job interview and in hindsight this might have worked out for the best as I still need a job and I'd have definitely had that 560TI and probably one of the PSU's too.

you just wont find anyone at this point who actually got something, they will be off on there way doing what they do on a day to day basis.

but the people who didn't get anything will be on the forums......moaning.

the execution was fine and traffic management on most emails around the web is awful anyways! if you were true to the cause you would have it ready to be refreshed all the time.

i got an email @ 8am to say the event started at 11am
