New system Sell Out in 3 mins

In my opinion there was no problem with the way the United State Mint sold the 2011 American Eagle 25th Anniversary Set. Every coin collector and coin store in America was calling the US Mints call center at the same time. I worked for 3 and half hours before my order was taken. I have been in line at a ticketmaster line for tickets to find that the show was sold out in 3 minutes. So if the US Mint updates the order management system then the only thing will change is the time it takes to sell out. All of you cry babies will still be out in the cold with no coins. Go try and to buy Hot concert tickets a see how fast they sell out then you will know that well maybe the Mints site and call center was not so bad after all. It took 4 to 5 hours to sell out. That gave some time to get home from work and start working the phones or the computer. With a new system it will sell out in 5 Mins.
