The "signup" code you refer to is you sign up for email newsletters and Mark's themselves send you the code, it's not some special code no one is supposed to know about. The other 2 promo codes were freely available all over the place with a quick Google search.
The only real issue is Mark's crappy inventory system, most of the time you hear about popular sale items selling out in a short time. Instead, they took hundreds (thousands?) of orders that they didn't have stock for.

I don't necessarily agree. If you are submitting multiple single orders using a sign up code you are only supposed to use once, by using multiple email addresses, you are not working within the spirit of the deal. You are just another scum sucking RFD hoarder with a basement full of outdated WIFI routers, Zune MP3 players and Marks parkas. Just because the system can be abused, doesn't mean it should be. I felt 50 bucks plus shipping was more than a fair deal, and would feel like a major cheap ass trying to screw Marks out of another 20 bucks, on an already amazing deal.
Amazon has it right with lightning deals and deals of the week. It only lets one item be delivered to one address on one credit card. They pretty much neutered the deal site and RFD losers from ruining these deals for everyone.
