<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1038200, member: 19065"]While I agree there will be as much interest to warrant such concerns, excusing their ability to serve their customer base ahead of an announced sale date/time, is like not putting up a clearly roped-off queue line in front of a big box retailer on 'black friday'. It's asking for a door-buster and for someone to get hurt. I mean, come on, they could at least ramp up phone and broadband service for the day to deal with the flow. OR only accept pre-orders until all units are filled whereby successive orders go on a wait-list (back ordered). If concert tickets can be sold in advance and figure out the process of buying/selling during a rush, then the Mint can too. IF the Mint can't serve their customers online and via phone, then maybe they shouldn't offer such resources for ordering.</p><p><br /></p><p>This also could be another attempt to remind (advertise to) visitors to the site of the popularity of this item, as a subtle urging to buy other things on the site you want, today, and to come back for the event prepared tomorrow. Not likely, but I don't put anything past their schemes to move collectibles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
