You know I even double-checked the date because at first I thought it said it was going to end on the 31st too, but when I saw 1st/1st date on the product pages I thought I'd be safe until at least last night (my time).  I'm down here in Australia so there's always the time difference thingy to work out anyway, but  this time I thought I'd pick them up with plenty of hours to spare just to make sure.   Hmmm.....next time I must make sure to pick stuff up a good 48-72 hours before the published end date. eyeroll  Hey Rendo, what about a catch-up sale for the catch-up sale that never happened?!  (J/K)  Oh well, I feel for the vendors who have missed out.....I'm sure they wouldn't be impressed with missing out on a few extra sales either....
