In which case most of the people who are able to get through after the first minute or so would find that can't put the item in their cart because all of them are already in everyone else's cart.  Open multiple windows and put them in your cart on every window.  You can only buy 3 but with 10 windows open you have 30 of them locked up so no on else can have them.

 

Yep I remember.  You had to use their order card and it indicated the maximum number of sets you could order.  Send off the order, never hear another word until the set showed up 8 or 9 months later.  If nothing showed up them a couple months later you'd get a notice that unfortunately it was sold out, and they would process your refund. You should have it in a few months.  And during those 8 or 9 months there was no way to track your order or cancel it.  (Of course the money order was cashed as soon as they got it.)

Reminds me of the GSA orders back in the early seventies

1. Congratulations to Mr. Lange and Mr. Burdette

I went to a local coin show, the Alabama Numismatic Society, show today. It’s not really a numismatic society but a yearly show. Anyway I bought I think 8 or 9 things. A few Mercs I needed, a Franklin for an album, etc but this was my favorite. This is one I think the true view pictures don’t do justice. The toning is lighter in hand and it’s really an appealing coin graded MS 66+. I left if a couple times negotiating and the third time I went back to the table I had to have it. It will fit nicely into my slowly accumulating type set. 

And a beauty it is.
