They have done this event many times. This is the first time I actually got what I was hoping to get. Why do people have to come on here and whine about missing out. Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose

Don't think anyones really whining here, more just commenting because success or not it shows prophet that we’re participating.
 
they did give tips about how to check out, basically you should never try for more than 1 thing at once in these sales. in some ways I think that's good, as it distributes the sale items amongst a larger group of people

This.

I’ve never participated in this type of sale before. I followed the tips provided on their first post, and got the item I wanted. (I was order 13)
 
And for some reason this is a PR problem? Sounds more like a you problem to me.

It points out a problem with the website.

I'd like to see your reaction at the super market checkout if people were walking buy taking things out of your cart.
 
This was my first time attempting to buy something from the open box sale.
I followed the tips they posted, and while it wasn't my first pick, I did get something! I got one of the AMG UH-1's.

Thanks prophet river and Vortex!

i agree to this as well. Many websiites, remove the inventory if the item is in someones cart. So it gives chance to the person to finish checkout.

you might have even seen timers like finish checkout in 5 minutes etc.

but some website operate like how PR operates.

it happened to me as well.. when i blinked item B was stolen from my cart :D but thankfully i got C
 
People who are complaining were likely greedy. This is a sale where you can't buy multiple items, you buy one item and only if you're lucky, you get two items. I bet some people are upset because they thought they could buy many of the items on sale and flip on the EE for some profit.

PR the website works just great, keeps it competitive too. No need to change anything for future sales.

If adding it to your cart guaranteed the item you were after, then those with faster internet connections would still beat you to the item lol.

I'd like to see your reaction if you were in the Prophet River store and someone walked by and grabbed your item off the counter while you were reaching into your wallet for your credit card to pay

Are you one of those guys who holds up the line to do the pull tabs at the cash register?

I'd like to see your reaction if someone had their money out, paid for an item, and someone walk into the store and started complaining that someone bought the last pull tab

Welcome to 2023.

The internet is a thing.

This sale was designed to operate as first to pay wins the day. If you are walking over to grab your wallet, you didn't read the rules.

YES...Exactly! Their sale to run and set up as they see fit. Play along and try to get lucky or don't play at all and have zero chance. It's all part of the fun!

Agreed. This is not an instore sale , its on THE INTERNET. Some times you win, some times you lose. If you lost then use that as an opportunity to formulate a better plan for the next sale.
