Hehe... The sale is one of those "Today Only" specials, and with the time difference actually started at 10:00 PM local time for me last night. I've got a couple tins on the way.... PS Their inventory showed 108 tins available yesterday, they had 78 left when I ordered mine. Went pretty quickly looks like.

Just add one to your cart, then change the quantity to something obscene, like 700, it will then say something like "I'm sorry we do not have enough stock to complete your order" and your quantity will have changed to whatever # they have left. Lots of online sites are like that. Its an easy way to check and see if you need to jump on a sale or if you can wait for a bit.

For almost all "real time" inventory systems I've seen, just add the item into your shopping cart and put in a high quantity, eg: 200. The system will only put in as many as there is in stock at that time.



Edit: Hehe, looks like there were two simultaneous responses to the question!
 
Damn you guys! I'd been waiting all week for this sale to get a few tins for some friends and myself. I woke up this morning , hoping to get a few tins for this group buy and there was only 1 tin left!!! Luckily I atleast got the last tin :/ I can't believe how quickly these went....

damn temporaily out of stock still



Im pretty sure I got the last tin bro. I was in checkout and it wouldnt' let me change the Qty to anything but 1. Anytime I put 2 or 2000 it just kept defaulting to 1...
 
I ordered 2 this morning....as gifts....after I got my 2 tins it said it was sold out..then others say the scored some...interesting..

Our inventory control went haywire due to people adding 100's to their cart to check inventory. When a person does this on our website it holds that amount for 1 hour giving them time to check out. It basically reserves the amount they entered in their cart. We turned off inventory control and are monitoring qty manually. If you want to know our inventory.... We started with 200+ tins at 12am. It is 3:35pm and we have 24 left.
 
Ya guys, just keep trying. I showed up at 3:15 - it said "OOS temporarily", then 2 minutes later I was able to add and buy 5 tins. I was going to order more, but I resisted... :)
