How many of you lost out on a deal online?

[Adawg38]

How many of you guys made the dumb mistake of thinking about a purchase online or had to do something else first and missed out by maybe 2, 3,4 or even 5 mins?

In all this craziness when something actually comes up in stock if you don't buy that shit within 2-5mins it's gone. I hope I am not the only one who lost out. I don't care if I am at work getting yelled at by the boss, if it's in stock I am pulling out the plastic. I missed out on a Spikes Buffer Tube Kit for $72 shipped, $150 Bolt Carrier Group, and a 400 pack of 5.56 for $189.

I did however snatched up an Aero Precision Lower and Armalite Parts Kit. This isn't really a rant just a WTF thread.

The boss had to remind me in person about a meeting today as I was typing in my credit card number for an online order "Sorry, I'll be right there."

Seems like that happens to me almost daily, some of us actually work for a living and can't be online searching all day or checking email alerts at a moments notice.
And by the time I can check this forum's Buyer Intel section, the deals are long gone.

I miss out on stuff all the time, but I also get in on stuff all the time! You win some you lose some!

on another note company's taking you off the back order list because they can't full fill the order and the price for the magazines have sky rocketed is pissing me off i order 5 Pmags from Botach at 12.30 a magazine on dec 19th got an email month later that they where taking my order off my account cause they have no ETA when the product will be back in. i never asked to cancel or be taken off just leave it and charge and ship them when they come in. however Botch customer service sucks to begin with so i should of known at least i got one surefire magazine before they pulled this whole taking you off back order. never again will i buy from them. lesson learned i guess.

I just screwed the group by up with my miscommunication!!! I either have all the time in the world with no money or right now have all the money and no time to do anything with it! Guess its better to have money, but it would be nice to finds some deals.

Missing out on stuff SUCKS... I'm usually just behind somebody like Sniper7... Somebody who trolls online all day!!!

I found some 7.62x54R a couple weeks ago, and by the time I got my order info typed in it was gone! I found some more a few days later, and it's now sitting at home, but even that place was out later the same day I ordered mine.

I was going to order an upper from Bravo Company the day before everything went down. Finally a partner for a lower I've had built for a couple years. It was in the shopping cart and ready to go. Then this little voice in my head said "Hey! You should wait until your year-end review and bonus tomorrow. Be a good, responsible adult." Then I closed the tab and patted myself on the back. Man...f**k that guy.
