Has anybody gotten through for a reverse proof set?

Took me over an hour, but finally got one.

now down to 43229 sets. The orders are going faster now that the Mint's web site is getting better.

 

went back in, it'piqued my interest enough to want to be frustrated a little longer. it's 1:15PM, page shows 63463 quantity available still not sure exactly how accurate it is. Not for nothing, but Cloudflare locked me out for the time being for being in there LOL!

 

last coin of the original design, would have been at it until it sold out. Cost of secondary market would have made it too costly for me to justify.

 

Relative to what?

 

How do you find this info? I'm not going back in because no page will load for me anyway, just curious.

I got my set after an hour and I'm exhausted with it. I have no idea how it suddenly lets you place an order after so many tries.

 

Just by looking at their source code on the item page.

 

Not in the least. Since I was able to get one, it was time well spent. I have been in the same situation and gotten shut out many times. Being victorious is WAY better!

 

You are at least as stubborn as I am.

 

OK, Go to the page of an item you want to buy, for instance this reverse 2-coin set.
Move your curser to a blank area of it and right-click.
select "view page source"
once the source code pops up, hit CTRL-F at the same time.
a tiny window open at the top - type "data-available" (without the quotations) and hit enter.

 

My husband says I'm a terrier head. I think he means it as a compliment.

 

after hitting enter you will see the text you just typed highlighted, just after that you will see the following ="(a number).0"> that number is the amount left to be sold. in this case I see:
data-available="34745.0">

 

Awesome. 32,544 left at this moment.

 

31362 the page currently says 1:33PM doing like 1500 sales a minute now I think, something like that.

 

YUP!! it works for all their product.. Sneaky, huh?

 

lol, now only 29187 left

 

29,108

 

(I do know a thing or two that is useful)

 

27970 now. Looks like they're going through about a thousand a minute.

Edit: in fact, the rate is very suspiciously close to exactly one thousand per minute. I'd wonder whether they've set a rate limit somewhere, but it would actually take quite a bit of work to make it look this much like incompetent provisioning.

 

it will sell out in the next 10 minutes at this pace.
