Groupon Malaysia 10.10 Mystery Deal With Untallied Bought Count

Groupon Malaysia create the hype for October 10 with mystery deal for a purchase price of RM10.10. It allow you to pick for him, or for her's mystery gift. The main purpose of this post not to promote this deal, but I found something it shouldn't happen, Groupon Malaysia manipulate the number of purchased deal.

I tried to use two different browsers (Internet Explorer and Google Chrome) to open the deal page, where the Internet Explorer without logging in. From print screen below, both show the exact same deal's valid duration, but the bought counts are big different. The signed in deal page only show 702 bought, but the non-signed in deal page show 1301 bought.

To proof that this is not manipulate of picture, I refreshed on both browser and it show 766 vs 1421. I guess this might be kind of bug in the Groupon system.

This is a full print screen of my desktop, without crop, with the full URL show in browser as proof. Click on the image for full size. Deal page URL: http://www.groupon.my/deals/national-deal/Groupon-Malaysia-Mystery-Products/717556459

Update:  I spent more time to test it, found the login page actually show the for him / for her bought count only, thus it show the big different of bought count for before and after login. Look like the bought count for him/her pretty balance.
