Title: 4/20 No announcement
Post by: dr octagon on April 08, 2013, 06:14 am
Just wondering if I have either missed something, or is DPR & SR not officially announing a 4/20 sale this year?

By this time last year it was hype city and vendors were marketing hard.

Is it a case of leave it up to the vendors?  Is DPR worried about possible server load?

Apologies if I have missed something obvious.

if it happens, you'll hear about it. why is everyone acting so entitled this year?! they really don't need to do a sale.

Possibly because there were so many 4/20 scams over the past few years they decided not to bother!

I don't like 4/20 coz it's just about weed. I might have to start 6/30 for Blow. :)

We could do with 4/19 for Acid too...  I don't know how widely celebrated bicycle day is but it sounds like it'd be a great way for vendors to attract new customers.

Back in your kennel internet poodle, it's nothing to do with entitlement. 

I didn't participate in the first 4/20 and am not a prospective buyer in this one.  I was one of *many* who predicted the scams and logistical issues before the first 4/20 and took a back seat.

I'm interested in why there has been no announcement based on whether scams, server load, BTC volatility or perhaps vendor indifference have had any influence.

With the amount of bullshit that hit the Road last year after the 04/20 sale, I'm not surprised that there isnt another one.

What a fucking fiasco last year...


If there is one, I'm avoiding ordering until May.

I wonder if Tony76 is actually another successful vendor on SR again?

Agreed, weed does nothing for me.

The 4/20 scams are blown out of proportion.
For the most part the sales went well, there were a few scammers each year that made off with large sums.
I'd love to know who won the grand prize the year DPR said they would send someone on a trip - I don't believe it happened.
