Well server is fixed. Do you think they will add more or am I SOL? I had it in the cart right away:(

Trying to pickup a bipod for my daughter who wants to start shooting with me!

Looks like it might be stabilizing, too late though got a couple items in my cart that inventory is now gone on. Oh well it's always an adventure
 
Finally got back in to buy the factory seconds PRS Ckyepod I had in my cart and put in all the info and press place order and says can't complete as inventory is too low on item. Screwed again.
Yep same here, I feel your pain, but my wallet is happy :). It's interesting that the cart at least appears capable of protecting your items for a time limit (looks like 40min) but it clearly didn't engage.

Same issues as others here—added XTN folding stock in FDE and tried to check out by 3:01 PST. Couldn’t get into checkout repeatedly and then when I did it stated there was nothing. Such a highly anticipated sale, yet so frustrating.
 
Auto scaling isn’t instant. Don’t open your mouth on this unless you work in Cloud as a field.

Missed the Ckye-Pod blem 😤
The lesson for next year with AWS is look at the max resources the system autoscaled up, triple it or better, and engage it in advance of the sale. Autoscaling can't react to immediate demand, if they were relying on autoscaling to react to a timed sale, that was never going to work. If the system works, you only need max capacity for a few minutes until everything is sold out.

Heh and it looks like it's crashing again
 
man this sucks had a factory second hnt26 and triple pull and both sold before I could check out so much for the 40 mins in your cart and the site crashed again . But I did get the hnt 26 and triple pull at regular sale price man that sucks 900 bucks more than the factory second

The mags that were pulled out from under me, in the cart, were now available to be added. I just checked out and got it. I suspect that message was erroneous.
 
I did the exact same thing with a factory second HNT 26. Glad I didn’t try to add anything else to the initial order.
Went back and grabbed 2 pairs of factory second M-lok external weights which I likely won't need but at that price who cares, Also grabbed the 5 pack internal on a decent discount which I will need. Very pleased I didn't do the order all at once I may have been out in the cold.

Was on the minute the sale started and got a Triple Pull added to my cart. I’ve been waiting for this sale for a month now. Tried to checkout and the site crashed. Really really pisses me off. I’ve tried now for 45 minutes to add it back and it won’t let me.

Do better MDT!! Now some fugger that wasn’t on the site the minute it dropped is sporting MY triple pull 🤦‍♂️

Had a triple pull in my cart at 4:59 and went to checkout….crashed. Now it’s in my cart and being held unless someone doesn’t place an order.

F this- I’m not dealing with this Black Friday mdt bull anymore.
 
We are on our own server with AWS auto scaling features which are the world wide benchmark now, if you wipe us out, man what the crap. Jeff Bezo owes you a nickel.

Sounds like Jeff Bezos is about to go broke… 1 nickel at a time… 😂 Although I couldn’t get the hunt26 like I wanted, thanks @MDT_OFFICIAL @MDT_Josh for offering up such great deals that no matter what they try, their system crashes

Trust me if you knew how many billions in tax dollars the government alone was spending on AWS each year, you'd buy more Amazon stock :)
 
I guess I lucked out. At 3:01PST I had an email with my order confirmation for an XRS and 2 mags. I had created my account and loaded items in my cart earlier. Was going to buy a B&C for my Savage 16 but the 30% off was enough to make me change plans.
 
All I wanted was a PRS ckye pod for less than $400. Don’t care if it’s blemmed or a “second”. Stuck in ”add to cart” until they were gone. Such high hopes. Such let down. @MDT_OFFICIAL is either an evil genius or just a hapless genius. Alternatively makes or ruins my Thanksgiving every year.

2:59 PST had one in my cart and go to check out and crash, get back on and can't get to cart, then crash over and over and finally get in to cart and check out and none in stock. Total screw job. Oh well.
