First, they are discounting an item 80%, so discounting another 8% of the list price using coupon codes is hardly going to break them. The whole idea of Black Friday sales is to get you to order the extra stuff, they have already accepted a break even or a loss on certain items with the hope you buy additional merchandise.
Secondly, if Mark's system allows you to place 50 orders with different email address all to the same mailing address then they are asking to be scammed. It doesn't make it right, I wouldn't do it, but it's going to happen. I don't leave my keys in the ignition for this reason, it's wrong to steal a car and I wouldn't do it, but I know some loser will without a second thought.
To be honest I agree with you, people shouldn't be scammers and place a bunch of orders with different email addresses. But to say that we're all some kind of scum for placing my one order of a jacket and a couple of $20 shirts, and getting an additional 8% off using coupon codes that Mark's openly puts out there is ridiculous.
And it seems I've gotten involved in a argument I don't really care that much about... I still haven't received an email one way or the other and honestly if I don't get my $200 off jacket I'm not going to be fuming mad. I have other coats, it isn't that big of a deal. It's just frustrating for me, and others, that in this day and age of online shopping that a big company like Mark's can have a huge online sale without proper inventory management.

I am not pointing the finger at you specifically, just reading through the thread at RFD, there was a lot of losers kinking an already great deal. BTW, the jacket fits like a POS, and I will be getting rid of mine. I can see why they are blowing it out, it is designed for pear shaped people.
