While Supplies Last

It is not too common for an offer to reach 1,000 buyers, let alone 10,000. Not only does a restaurant have to have great reviews but can afford the huge cost of so many offers. So one has to think that this offer is a typo. On DoubleTakeDeals.com, Jerusalem Cafe in Oak Park, Illinois is offering $30 gift certificates for $15. Not a bad deal for Mediterranean fare at a place with pretty good reviews, but the supply is limited - only 30,000 offers!

Now if we assume that the typical restaurant gets 1/2 of what is paid by the consumer, this offer would cost Jerusalem Cafe over $200,000 if they sell out. Let's see how long before this gets corrected.
