Think they tried to mess with bots by doing multiple waves of stocks and by changing up the limits per order (it swung back and forth from 5 to 2 to 4...all over the place for me really).

the thing with the changing quantity limit was interesting. i was thinking it was just based on the inventory level changing as they flowed inventory to the page. they were definitely throttling checkouts which might be the best way to even the field for manual users.

when i got less than 5 in the drop down i’d just try again until I got a 5 drop down. that would be interesting if it was intentional though. whatever it was it kept the inventory from all being tricked off on the backend before it went live for manual.

prestige was botted and less than 10k units as people realized there is decent margin in flipping them. that and the product offering was weak this week so they wanted something to make money off.

dead zone til optic gets here…could be next week but I’d guess it’s not til the week after.
