Glad I have the opportunity for feedback, I'd simply remove the "Add to cart" button if right above it the message reads "This item is out of stock"

I know you'll wonder "hey, can't you drymounting read?", never underestimate your users.

This is bullshit, I'm still getting this error.
this is P&T's e-commerce design (a poor one IMO)

Mitch, everything is fine. This was a highly sought after drop and no oversale? That's a plus in my book. Don't worry about these guys, youre doing just fine.
Same fudge, different drop.

It is luck with these numbers.. I got a Taylor Halloween from P&T so I know success and many failures.

That's how I feel about Stout lotteries. Well, except for the part about not trying.

P&T is a fine site! I missed the drop, but I know they are the same price on the aftermarket. Anyone who missed the drop can get one off here, or ebay for the same price.

For such a small number of a very in-demand poster- lottery.

I would just take out the fact that you have to re-login. That was my main issue with the system. Doesnt matter now though- I'm used to it personally. STILL IN SHOCK I SCORED A TD. :shock:

Does this mean I'm a wizard now?

I think that's more the nature of the release than the site though. People have trouble at Mondo with hundreds of copies, I'm usually trying to sell 30-50. The odds aren't great, but it's in the numbers.

Grab them now because they will likely go up now that the last of the last are gone.

Eh, anything you change it to won't satisfy everyone so long as some people still miss out. There are certain systems that people would prefer (like carting something reserves the item) but you can only do so much.

Also THIS, your system works well, no lag, no overcharges, excellent shipping prices, and you're just a great person to work with. The "add to cart" when "sold out" appears is probably the ONLY thing, and it's not even that important.

Oh, that's normal, that just means it sold out before you got to the end. On this sale, if you made it through, you're a wizard. I had very few, obviously.

Yes! I'm a wizard! :D :D

Mitch, your site is PERFECT for drops - don't change a thing. :notworthy:

Mitch, I think your cart system is fine. Everyone needs to go through the same process to purchase a print, thus leaving no one at any particular advantage. In this case with limited prints, the faster ones (and slightly luckier ones) get the prints. Fair enough. It is also great that you process oversells and refunds very quickly leaving no one hanging too long.

I would agree. Normally pretty successful on the drops. Just a matter of being on the ball. Also missed my fair share, but the majority of P&T releases are low numbers, so it is almost expected.

Congrats to all of you with a +1. You won't be sorry. Sorry to all who missed out. Sucks.
