I got an e-mail as a past customer of dacardworld.com about some pre-black Friday deals. They have Innistrad booster boxes for $119.95 and M12 boxes for $69.95. Shipping is free over $99 I think. Both deals still say 100% remaining, so they're not exactly flying off the shelves, but I haven't seen Innistrad for less than $145 there in months. M12 is normally $75-80, so $69.95 isn't that special.
EDIT: Just saw they limit 2 per person. Might do this...
anyway, Innistrad is awesome to draft in addition to having chase rares/mythics in it. So yea, I'd go in on it.
It says limit 2 on the page with the deals, but if you didn't know about that page and went directly to the booster boxes, like by searching for innistrad booster, the detail page doesn't say anything about a limit. I placed an order for 6 and it went through. We'll see if they actually fulfill it or if they cancel 4 (or cancel the whole order).
The reaction is a bit interesting. Given that they have had the deal up for most of the day and they have sold none of it so far :p. Personally, I think it would be worth being patient, I suspect they will have some better deals the closer we get to black Friday/cyber Monday.

(Well, as of 4pm when I checked last anyway)
I don't really trust that % available bar. When you order from them, it submits an order, but they manually confirm each order later. I ordered a couple months ago with a coupon that I just put in the order notes. They adjusted the order before actually charging my credit card.
However it looks like they have 53 available now. I can put 53 in my card, but if I try 54 it says they don't have that many. I wish I'd tried that earlier to get a better idea of how fast they're selling.
It's an instant speed 5/5 trampler for 4. Wtf do you people want seriously? It has applications in populate/ above the curve beats decks, or in Bant control/ flash. I seriously think anyone mad at this card for any reason other than losing an attacker to instant speed wurm, should go home and make their own awesome card game and leave the rest of us alone.
Doing a quick check of ebay, it looks like you can find them for $145 shipped buy it now with free shipping. Recent completed listings seem to hover between $130-$150. $120 seems like a decent enough deal if you were looking to purchase one. Definitely not something to purchase for immediate flipping purposes though.
That said though, its an awesomely fun set, and has some decently valued cards to it to be sure. Great set to buy and draft with friends :).
And I've NEVER seen D&A not reduce inventory with their "bar" in real-time in my last ~5 years experience with them though I suppose it could happen.
Their quantity in stock dropped from 53 to 51 overnight, so a couple sold, plus the 6 I ordered earlier in the day. The bar still says 100% available, so something is wrong.
Either the bar doesn't work in real time, or they have a treshold, say 30 boxes, which already fullfills their 100 % in stock quota and anything over this doesn't count for the bar.
A few stores use similar system, if they have x or more product the stock is 100 % and when it drops below this level they note that they have moderate amount availlable. After another step the level drops to critical and then sold out.

That I could believe. Somebody just bought a bunch, their inventory dropped from 51 to 40, and it still shows 100%.
I just got an update that my order of 6 is processing now. No sign yet that they're going to cut it back to 2.
Arbitrage never lasts. As soon as an opportunity for profit at or near zero risk becomes available, it gets exploited until it's gone. Free market forces are cool.
Glad I got 2 as soon as I saw the deal with my own 2 eyes
No worries, just thought everyone who sat on the fence would like to know the show's over. TBH, I was surprised it lasted that long--lots available, lots available, then 40+ gone in 2 hrs--after they'd been available for a while.

Trade with me so I can build my cube!

They've also had Dragon's Maze Fat Packs @ $24 (at least for Premier Accounts) for weeks now (off and on) for those interested.
