New Skull & Bones!

I don't think it's possible with the set-up of any online ordering system to have it work that way. Otherwise someone could put them in their cart, leave the computer for a week, and never complete the purchase. Then the retailer is stuck. A drastic example, but illustrates the point.

i've seen several online retailers do this (not cigar retailers though). once you add to cart and start checkout, there is a timer which shows that you will lose the item after the allotted time. usually give you about 2-5 minutes.

yup, or log in early and have your cc stuff on file for speedy check out.

I was lucky enough to score w/ the S&B and Dracs last year. Didn't have the problem. Prob cuz I'm using a mac...lol

Ticketmaster works like this with a timer that lets you know how long you have to finish a page, usually anywhere from 2.5-7 minutes depending on how much info needs to be typed in. The company I get most of my game worn jerseys also has a 10 minute "timer" on anything in the cart to avoid tire kickers especially during a sale. G1

Already did that. Everything was perfect.

Goalee is right on. I would suggest that to any online retailer with a quick selling item. Seems fair and less would be customers would gripe.

So pissed. I was checking out with a 5 pack and got sniped.

Checking out with 3 singles and got sniped.

So frustrating. If it is in my cart and I am paying they should be mine!!

Me too.

 

[ckay]

Same here.

 

[cucumber.breath]

I think part of the problem with getting sniped at checkout is because they only had 150 sticks to sell, so the system may have had a hard timeout when they had reached the quota. And it is not like they can just order more, because this was a limited edition run, so when they were gone, they were gone regardless of whether or not they were in your cart. I am just grateful that he was able to put them up in the first place.

I don't have problems with it. Dan is good people. The thrill of the hunt.

Nice score right there!

I dig the second band on this release as well. Very cool.

 

[ckay]

I'm not such a fan of the second band. As if the main band wasn't enough indication what the stick was!

 

[Reeve11]

it's not glow-in-the-dark, like some were thinking (me included).

haha yea right

 

[Craig Mac]

So what is the size on these(unless I missed it somewhere)?

And btw, Dan is a great dude! The shopping cart "is what it is" at NHC, I got hosed during the Drac hunt last year several times, but it's more a nature of the beast kind of thing, a lot of people are adding to the cart, so it goes by completed transactions. 99.5% of the time the cart there works fine, just too many hits at one time during LE releases like that. As someone recently said,

"My brothas here have always made sure I'm taken care of and I don't expect that to change."

Are you sure? I have heard they were?

[kockroach]

Craig, same RG as original. But, one inch longer and has a covered foot.

 

[ckay]

Try charging the ink under light.

5 by 54.

 

[cucumber.breath]

I bought one from a B&M a few hours ago and the band does in fact glow in the dark if charged.
