The Great Depression of 2008 Sale (and Contest!)

The Great Depression of 2008 Sale (and Contest!)


Woot woot, it's Black Friday time! And Cyber Monday time! And Christmas time, and Hanukkah time, and Kwanzaa time, and Festivus time, and New Years time, and, uh... that's all I can think of. Now friends, in honor of America's current economic situation, we're doing two things:

Firstly, for four days following Thanksgiving (11/28-12/1), EVERYTHING we carry at Mimoco is 36% off! Weird number, no? Well, here's the dealie: it's the Great Depression of 2008 Sale! Seeing as how the Dow Jones has lost (rustling Wall Street Journal, putting on reading glasses, sipping a nice Chianti) 36% of its value this year, we figure it's a fun gimmick for the biggest shopping weekend of the year. The idea is that when the stock market loses, you win! Well, you win at getting a great MIMOBOT or six at a great price. Please note: the Great Depression Sale will supersede any other sale or coupon code. Discounts are applied to the cart.

The other thing we're doing is a contest. Comment on this news item with your guess as to what the Dow Jones index will be at the end of the year (points, please... for example, today it's at 8,726.61), and whoever's the closest at the end of 2008 will win a MIMOBOT of his or her choice. Cool, huh? So, how many economists we got in this joint? Oh, and whoever wins... will you be my investment adviser? I've got about sixteen dollars to put in the market, and... you know... I want a yacht.

Please note: all entries must be received by Friday, December 5th at 11:59PM EST. Any entries posted after this date will be disregarded.

So that's it, friends and neighbors! Happy Conglomeration of Holidays, religious and otherwise, and remember: the stock market ebbs and flows forever, but a MIMOBOT is only here as long as their limited runs last! So get your shopping done, guess the Dow's year-end total, and have a very MIMO-riffic holiday season!

Make sure to keep an eye on our holiday shipping guide and make sure all your MIMOBOT orders get to you on time!

And the winner by a nose is...

Rabbit, with a guess of 8770 - real index was 8776.39. Congrats Rabbit, you get your choice of a MIMOBOT... and we get to hope 2009 is a smidge better for our economy.

Ouch

Wow, talk about getting bitten in the back by a sale. Took advantage of the Great Depression Sale at 36% for a Domo Mimobot, and the day after it ends, they have a new sale of 50% on all Domo Mimobots. Ouch.

And while I'm at it...

...my guess!!! I've always been a big Douglas Adams fan, and dystopian novels are extraordinarily fascinating, so I'll combine the two and guess... 42.

No, I'm not eligible to guess. But I don't really think we have to worry about that... do we?

Listen to MIMOdan!!!

Heyas people, you've got... uh... about nine and a half hours left, so get your guesses in! And tell me... how weird would you feel if you guessed it would tank and it started going up? Would that BLOW YOUR MIND? Or have I had too much caffeine today...?
