I was hoping to go but my kids had soccer games. Just wondering if anyone went and scored any of the free stuff Tony was giving out, other than food. Apparently everyone who went would have left with something from framesets to parts.

Family first (ie kids soccer games) > Free IRO stuff

But yeah, if I didn't have kids, I'd have been there.

They have some stems/seatpost and a few rob roys left. Amazing if you can get a frame for $1 plus shipping. There aren't any left in my size though, and wouldn't want to spoil the spirit of the event by buying, and ebaying it for a profit.

Error message comes up saying you must have at least $7 in your cart to checkout. Everything else is sold out. How are you supposed to come up with $7 if you can only buy one bargain item?

You had to buy 7 things for $1. It's messed up anyway else.

They specificied that you were to only order 1 item from the bargain basement so others would have the opportunity to purchase.

DELIVERY METHOD

Sorry, there are no available shipping methods for your location.


I live in USA, right near boston. They say that you cant ship there???:innocent:

edit: I was not going to order the 7 frames. I just wanted to see if it could be done.

how, isnt that not $7? also the Mark V is out of stock (which is what I actually wanted :()

triplesixer
10-05-08, 02:24 PM
Exactly... You couldn't have ordered a mark v... if you did, go back and add one (56) to your cart. I'll give you 50.00+shipping for it.

three something, each frame costs about $87 i should be able to sell them on ebay for that...

assuming they even process your order after adding 3 $1 items.

Way to keep the spirit of the giveaway pure. You don't think that someone at some point is going to go to process this order and realize that you're breaking the one per customer rule a little bit? It sucks that the ordering system is screwed up, but c'mon.

i got an error message earlier this morning on their website after placing my order but then i get an email saying that payment was sent. wtf?

10-05-08, 02:47 PM
they ran out too late, i didn't order any it would have been a waste for me, i hate the rob roy and karma is a ***** and i have a feeling i'd probably get shafted somehow.

Thetank
10-05-08, 02:49 PM
I doubt he will be able to get anything. People have problems getting frames they paid full price for I seriously doubt they will get $1 dollar frames.

dougland89
10-05-08, 02:54 PM
and yes, to those who ordered more than one frame, im pretty sure since IRO is such a small company it won't get by Tony. He's probably going to look at that and say.."hmmm nope" just my thinking, they won't let it happen.

SheistyMike
10-05-08, 02:55 PM
i ordered a 62cm and a wheelset with a note explaining i didn't want the wheels. whatever happens happens. i still have call tomorrow to see what's up and try to pay.

dougland89
10-05-08, 02:58 PM
wait, you ordered the frame for $1 and wheels, but don't want the wheels? You aren't just going to get the frame without anything else.

Why the **** should Tony care? A dollar is a dollar, regardless of the source.

you guys are dumb to take advantage of tony, guy is trying to make the best of his lack of service lately by blowing out product and you've got people trying to buy 7 frames for a dollar instead of actually purchasing product.

i was lucky enough to make my roomie agree to pay half of the cost of a frame $135 and we ordered two frames...essentialy getting half off, sooo sweet.
