Welcome back to our Post-Black-Friday-Cyber-Monday “Action Required” Series, where we ask you, our loyal readers, for your input. We’ll be doing a series of polls for the next week or so and then we’ll publish a summary of responses. Please watch for the ACTION REQUIRED title in our posts and vote!
And now, our fifth question…
We saw tons of great offers, but some had limited availability. A great offer with a small quantity often is snatched up in minutes or even seconds!
Were you able to get in on any of these awesome offers, or did you miss out? What was your strategy – a fleet of Fiverr workers reloading and communicating with you via custom smartphone app, or did you just pop on sites to see if you could get lucky? Let us know by voting in the poll and commenting below!

Raindog308 is a longtime LowEndTalk community administrator, technical writer, and self-described techno polymath. With deep roots in the *nix world, he has a passion for systems both modern and vintage, ranging from Unix, Perl, Python, and Golang to shell scripting and mainframe-era operating systems like MVS. He’s equally comfortable with relational database systems, having spent years working with Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
As an avid user of LowEndBox providers, Raindog runs an empire of LEBs, from tiny boxes for VPNs, to mid-sized instances for application hosting, and heavyweight servers for data storage and complex databases. He brings both technical rigor and real-world experience to every piece he writes.
Beyond the command line, Raindog is a lover of German Shepherds, high-quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop RPGs, and hiking in deep, quiet forests.
His goal with every article is to help users, from beginners to seasoned sysadmins, get more value, performance, and enjoyment out of their infrastructure.
You can find him daily in the forums at LowEndTalk under the handle @raindog308.
I wanted to pick up a few OVH deals but have basically just given up on those, they are never in stock and there’s bots out there to get them all anyway. the KS-LE at kimsufi would be amazing but the odds of getting it are basically 0….
