With what I just spent on Dark Shadows audiobooks, I really hope this isn't too tempting. Hopefully either a really weak discount or a really deep one to make it a no-brainer either way - the ones in the middle are the ones that kill me.

Wow that's exciting, wasn't expecting an Easter Sale. Although only one hour. I will have to check back every minute lol. Oh no I am going to have to set my alarm for 5:00 AM tomorrow (sales are serious business)

I could imagine a sale that lasted only one hour being really, really good. Like $1 main range titles or something. But which hours? Am I going to have to get up at like 4AM?

The Easter sale starts tomorrow, but the March Madness will be over 12 hours next Wed. (I don't think I'll be getting much work done next Wed.!)

So I have to remember to set my calendar for 5:00 AM next Wed. So it's actually double the sales....not sure if I am hoping for a lot of stuff or not hoping so my wallet can breathe from that Dark Shadows sale. lol But I do really want Ace/7/Hex and Dorian Gray (so I can double dip on the CDs and promote the series)

I've gotten enough of a breather after Christmas that my wallet will only be mildly upset with me this time around. Depending, of course, on what actually goes on sale. There's a few ranges that I still need a good deal of.

I probably won't be able to take advantage of the hourly sales. No way I can be checking that often from work.

Guess I know what I'll be doing Tomorrow
EDIT
And Next Wednesday
Serouisly though 1 Hour Offers?
As I used to say to the Late Great Paul Spragg on the eve of a Dark Eyes release
"Brace those Servers"!
Interestingly, the news piece doesn't mention if the 12 1 hour offers are DL only so a customer would assume the CD version would be reduced as well.

Owww, my wallet!
Well, it sounds like this will be all Doctor Who. I'm completely caught up on the Main Range, I've got the whole EDA/Dark Eyes line, so unless it's a Companion Chronicles sale I'll be safe. If it is... welp, then I'm doomed.
Especially sine I have next Wednesday off, I can tell what I'll be doing with my day...
(I wouldn't dare suppose a Dorian Gray sale, so I won't get my hopes up on that regard)

Yes the way I read it there'll be a DW Sale of some kind stating tomorrow and lasting till Monday or Tuesday, then the 12 1 hour offers , on selected items from any Range running on Wednesday.

Yeah, but any Dorian Gray sale is undoubtedly going to involve the first two series, not the later boxed sets, so that's why I'm not holding my breath. It's an utterly excellent series, so I don't mind shelling out full price... or I won't once I can afford it. That said, I'm still excited to see what's to come! I'll set aside Wednesday to scope out the sales and annoyingly post among the mad commentaries on the forum

Well that's what I am hoping for since I already have S1 & S2 on CD. And hopefully the sales will be for CD's too. Edit: Wonder if tomorrow's sales will be MR past 100. Probably shouldn't get my hopes up.

It is a bit harsh of Big Finish to penalising those of us who have to work to pay for our Big Finish habit... Having said that I like the symmetry of having the twelve days of Christmas sale and now following that up with a twelve hours of March madness sale. I just wish they had picked a now work day!

I will be at work but do have the freedom to take quick breaks and check (I don't take lunch so my work can deal with it) but yeah I do feel bad for people who really can't check every hour. Maybe the last hour will be everything?

If the last hour is everything, that would not be too bad. Otherwise, it's hard both for people who work and for people who are not in their time zone. Makes me wonder a bit how much they thought this through and who exactly they are expecting to be able to take advantage of the sale.
Even if I had the day off, I wouldn't be up early enough to take advantage of the first hours. And I wouldn't compromise my day off sleep even to take advantage of a sale, though I know some would.
I'm feeling a little miffed about this sale, honestly.

I've been on leave this week and last. If only this had been today. Next Wednesday I'll be back at work though and chances are there will be hours where I don't have the chance to check what the offer is.
Could all be moot though given that I have taken advantage of so many offers over the last couple of years that I'm left with very few gaps now.
No doubt it'll be the one hour I'm in a meeting that will be the deal I would have been interested in.
A 13th hour would be great, but also slightly annoying to those who have bought several deals during the day only to realise that had they waited a single combined order totalling over £50 would have get them an additional 10% off.
