    fair enough, but alot of those individuals might also be doing it for the same reason. Nothing wrong with it - spot an opportunity and make the most of it. If i came across something like this, i would post it on here so other can do the same!

    For those who want to buy for personal use, great and for those who want to make something out of it great too.

    Dont see why people arent bothered about bodyshop glitches going out of stock in about 3 minutes, and everyone showing off how they made 3, 4, 5 orders and how they're accounts are being blocked because of it - everyone supports this and says they are doing the same and it's all ok. But with stuff like this, they become greedy parasites ??
    Must say i agree with artha on this . Too many people on here buying 4 or 5 just to make a killing off someone else`s good nature willing to post .
    Greedy parasites , yep

    But a lot of people are also thinking of other family members and buying for them and the kids? and not for the Ebay traders

    HUKD are saying they've phoned the site and satnav and HD were OOS at 12.16 this morning...a whole 16 mins in stock:(


    16 minutes was probably enough supply for the whole of London for a week..:o

    Thats a shame, probably brought by bulk buyers to flog on ebay. Although if they only had say 50 in stock im not surprised it only lasted 15 minutes.
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies
