No joke! That was absolutely brutal I had everything set up and got through the process in 5 seconds and it was already sold out. Haha. Maybe next time!

We over sold them so I’m going to ask Kosuke if he can get more and allow those that bought one to get one when we get some more.

We literally sold them in 20 seconds. I think our database is not fast enough to deal with virtual ties.

I wonder if we should mix it up again and try a new way to sell them. Maybe a drawing or something. I’ll start a new thread soon and we can discuss it. I feel bad that I can’t get enough of them for all of you.

Stupid question but why can’t they produce more if that’s what people want?

I’d like to point out to those blaming “bots” that this is rarely the case. I seriously doubt even one winner was a “bot”. A lot of it simply internet speed, speed of device used, and a TON of “luck of the draw”

Beside this point , Mark wouldn’t allow one person to get more than one, so you’re safe there ...

There are many here who have “won” these kind of Internet quick-draws.

Congrats to the winners!

No bots here, and you won't be seeing mine on eBay. Hoping the oversold thing gets sorted and I actually get one though :?
