Idea - HK buddy code thingie

[norbique]

Thanks Boaterguy, this is what people need, the links (buddy codes), not the brainstorming :) (joke intended)
Steve should make this sticky and we could all just drop in our buddy codes (and a brief description of the corresponding product) here after we've placed an order.
Everyone would know when the buddycodes expire from the post date +14 days. Very simple it I think, and everyone wins.

These are really all I can share. Nothing else is worth posting or has no buddy code. Thanks.

Does it only work once? or if multiple people buy it do you keep getting credit?

[norbique]

You (the initial buyer) get the discount once (the first time someone uses your buddy code), but several people "buddies" can use the code and they all get the discount too. Only the two weeks time limits the buddy code. It expires and that's it.

[kookie_guy]

would be pretty sweet if you got credit every time someone used your code. lol.

[norbique]

keep on dreamin' .... :)

I noticed HK has a price match too, let's open a store with all of their stuff really cheap and always be "out of stock"
lol, that would be fun, make them bankrupt by buying insanely expensive stuff for a few bucks, then get 100$ of store credit.

Being a big plane guy, I've been working the system as best I can to get buddycodes on most of the stuff I buy. Using this website I found to get buddycode deals seems to be the best bet: http://hk.rc-international.info/swarm

You have to make sure you're logged into hobbyking first, but you just search for whatever you're planning to buy and if it comes up in the list, click the item and it'll bring the hobbyking item page up with the reduced price listed. Add to cart for the deal.
The item price will have a "*" next to it to show it's the buddycode price & not regular price.
Not all of the links work everytime, but it doesn't hurt to search for each item that's already in your shopping cart to see if someone's posted a recent buddycode for it.

Also a note on buddycodes i figured out - you usually can't get more than 3 of a single item at the buddy price, so don't use it if you need 8 packs of battery connectors or something. It can be a pain in the butt to get the buddycode price item out of your cart sometimes so that you can get more than 3 of that item.

Hope this helps some of you, cheers!

Thanks for the link! I just placed an order with HK and got one new buddycode, I posted it on the site you liked above.
It's good that you can not only find the codes, but you can also share your own ones.
Poeple should bookmark the link and use them often.

[midnightsabotage]

You bet! It's saved me quite a bit over several orders, I'm surprised it's not more widely known yet.

I'm excited to finally see the Turnigy (Seaking) 35a marine speed control for $24.24 with a buddy code right now too:
