I think the emails go out in batches

Someone got their email a few minutes before you got yours and bought them all

Do you want them to hold some for you?  Some email systems actually do process mail faster than others

just whatever they can do holding would be great.  I know the other night this happened and just now it happened. Im not even getting enough time too even click the link and place a order soon as it loads it says out of stock.

They sold out almost 1k of mags in 7 min. Just go to the EE and pay the double inflated rate.

I was sitting at my computer when the C-Products 30rd mag email went out, with my credit card out and next to my computer (it's become a habit, during the panic). My mail client polls the server every 60 seconds. I received the email at exactly 3:00pm. My order confirmation email came at 3:04pm. They were sold out minutes later.

 






If I hadn't been sitting here, credit card in hand, when the email came in, I would have missed it.







That's what happens when you hold prices low, in light of incredibly high demand.

You are assuming the other buyers waited for the email.  Thats probably a baseless assumption.

You and 50,000 others all tried to buy the same 2,000 mags at the same time.  That's what happened.  Welcome to the "Hope and Change"

like I said I cant sit on there website all day just waiting for them too come in stock that could be forever. im just wondering is the server crashing or is something messed up, cause how can I click on the email soon as I get it and it say sold out. oh well I guess I might get lucky on the next batch if I happen too be right on there site hitting refresh every 5 seconds lol
