I was trying to take advantage of the sale for RPublishing before the deadline, but everything is showing regular pricing even though the sale is not quite over. Did I miss something???

This is what the Deal page says:

RPublishing's store is up to 60% off for ALL members & up to 65% off for Prime Members.

Starting now through 11:59 pm (cst) Monday, January 14th.

It's not 11:59 and the only sale price that is showing is for Prime. I am not a Prime member. Totally confused here and sad that I am going to miss out on the great sale.

The store sale ended at 11:59 pm .. I've just checked.

The only product that ended earlier was the new hair and that was a CGspree which lasts only 48 hours so it ended at 10 am! It was not part of the store sale.

I'm sorry you've waited for the last minute and lost your chance to a deal! :(

Waiting for the last minute has nothing to do with it. When I asked the question, the sale was not over. What I was asking was why some things were showing regular pricing even though it said their store was on sale and some things (again the sale was NOT over) were regular priced and showed only a prime price. So maybe someone can answer my question.

Thanks!

The illogical AM-PM time format where 12 AM comes before 1 AM has always caused a lot of confusion. The recommended ISO format 2019-01-01 00:00:00 is logical and can't be misinterpreted, the sooner everyone starts using it, the better.

I see improvement. On the deals page. Items ending at midnight are marked as ending 23:59 of the last day. eg "Starting now through 11:59 pm (cst) Friday, January 18th." Then on the inner deal, the format is a little different: "Starting now through 11:59 pm (cst) Friday, January 18th." The 24-hour time leaves less room for error, I think. 23 is not 11. Then the product page shows time remaining. Progress :)
