last times the announced flash sales started at around 14oo CET if I remember correctly... only on LET some geeks found the order url quite some time before and bought most them before it even started.

PS: most probably https://www.kimsufi.com/en/order/kimsufi.cgi?hard=162sk2

yeah, we need a tool with something like: if (https://www.kimsufi.com/en/order/kimsufi.cgi?hard=162sk2 shows continue)
Send( post on let)

there are quite some availibilty checkers online, but afaik the only one also checking those flash-sales urls went offline quite some time ago.

there are also a lot of scripts on github and such which might help you make your own version of an availabilita tracker ;-)

I'm still seeing the "see you on the 09/03/2017" message (and previously I was seeing the "too late" message). So there's definitely some funny business going on but I'm going to keep trying.

I got the 503 as well (when I used the order URL - see earlier in this thread - directly) and it took me to some OVH page.

And of course there is still stock (since it is showing up at the normal price on the same page) - I'm still hopeful (though like @Willie I'm still debating whether it's worth it or not considering that it is an Atom, and not even the C2750)...

I've left it to my browser to decide :-)

ewrek

It is back.

probably the usual mess up when the sale starts... order link seems to be working here...

I'm getting a 403 now. Better than a 500 I suppose. Trying...

@Falzo (and others) - thanks for the different links. Got the order placed (but not yet completed for now).

I think it's definitely not as bad as the earlier online.net one's (and possibly there's isn't that kind of a crazy demand for these models considering they're the lowend end Atoms).

Thanks again for the pointers/urls.

Falzo

kimsufi boxes aren't bad at all, at least if don't get f*cked by the network in some racks. depends on the purpose you put them to, luckily 2TB single disk, 100MBit/s is not so tempting even at 8€ pricing.

elpetro

thx, the link still works

4ent0

looks like it's still available, don't get many of these atoms, if this will be like previous flash sales, there is some possibility other better kimsufi servers will follow in upcoming days. (but not sure about it)

Oldky

Server Kimsufi KS - 4G Atom N2800 1x2000 Go - 1 month 7,99eu i got mine, thanks for share!

Yeah, some kind of russian roulette. Unfortunately, I've shot off my head with one Kimsufi in such crappy rack few months ago...

Grab a few and only keeping the good one

Fun of Kimsufi flash sale game.

willie

I was able to order without any fuss. No 503s, no slow page loads, etc. Completed the order just to see if I could, I guess. Now don't know what to do with the machine. Heh.

Update: after a minute or two, no confirmation email, hmm.

Added: Oh, receipt says "we will check your confirmation manually". I've seen that before. Might take a while. Probably should cancel the order but what the hey.

hawkjohn7

got i5? or normal atom?

willie

Still got spinning icon and "we will check your payment manually". You mean some people have gotten i5's from this? I thought that was a KS-2C thing. Wonder if I'll get anything, or if they might sell out while manually checking my payment.

yolo_me

I got 2. I got an email saying they will validate their team will validate the order etc.. hope I get it eventually!

yolo_me

anyone here got theirs delivered already? Still can't access my account.
