Oh, hello Captain Cynical.


As far as I could see, they just "sold out" of stock (whether there was only

a certain amount of promotional stock or not is another matter).


When I went on with my $30 voucher three weeks ago, I was able to pick up a

couple of t-shirts for $4.  When I showed a friend three days later, there

were no products available for less than $30.


Interestingly, instead of showing an object and saying that it's out of

stock, boo show nothing.  This practice may have severely back-fired, as my

friend now thinks of boo.com as the place where you can only get $80

t-shirts.


So was stuff strategically removed, or did all us cheap bastards just run on

and grab as much free stuff as our boobags would hold?
