    Yeah. Just completed transaction on Gok set so if you want one I would try again online.

    I ordered 2 (by accident) but it was either buy 2 or start all over again and battle through the "temporarily updated" page palarva.

    I think the opened box had broken items in so maybe she was swapping her broken hatbox items for them? Not sure!

    I didn't want a hatbox because I already have a S & G totebag :D

    Went to my local biggest Boots tonight and there was literally nothing left on the shelves, I honestly think people will buy anything if it's on sale. Was a few Fearne Hatbox things left but they'd all been opened and the stuff was strewn everywhere, will never understand people who do that but then don't buy it.

    What happens if it goes to the 'temporarily unavailable' page when I've entered my card details and hit pay now - is my card charged??

    I do agree with this statement but I also disagree at the same time.

    The people on this forum (who bought quite a lot of items) were quite grateful to get them and has saved them a lot of money.

    Some people in real life.. well, some of them just don't think about others. They just buy it and realise later that they don't need it before either throwing it away or Ebaying it at a high price.

    It's just how sales go :)

    I think thats a bit uncalled for, I myself bought quite alot of items but I have a big family and the sale saves loads of money. Not everyone whos buys alot buys it to sell on and make a profit. If I have things that I don't want I offer it to family members at the same price I paid. If I can help them out because I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time that makes me happy :)
