how about everyone put on their big people pants and grow up?

Also an option.

I'm agreeing with Kaitlin. EVERYONE is probably aware of how I feel about buying plugs fom under people. If I want something... And you want it too, whoever buys it first, gets it. I mean, if I have the money now and you don't, sucks for you.  That's how life is. You can't just be like, "Oh, I want this.... so don't sell it to anyone else even if they have the money now and I'm broke as a joke." 100% first come, first serve. I mean, if you really have to wait a week to buy something, should you really be buying it anyway??

Also, I don't care to ask for pictures of specifications. I can either return them, wait til I'm able to accomodate for the flare, or sell them to whoever. Getting pictures for planet plugs, etc. is lame anyway in my book... The surprise of what they look like is like 50% of the reason I get them.

And sundaisy, I know that things are still available when products are in your cart, thats why im suggesting it. maybe baf could reformat the shopping carts so products are taken out of stock once they're added to the cart instead of once they are paid for. thats what shoes.com does (my other online shopping addiction :X)  and it seems to work well for them. Thats the only reason im suggesting it :)

Yeah, I was actually replying to WEIXIAN and not you. :) I know what you mean, although I think 12 hours is a bit on the long side. Personally I don't have problems with not getting what I intended to buy(if it's gone then it's gone, can't complain), so I'll just back out of the discussion stay by the sidelines.

lol whoops sorry I thought that was to me. And yea, I think ive said enough (maybe too much) so I think I'll join ya. :D

well, this does kinda fall under "sales" but

an item of the day. just pick out something randomly, reduce the price, and throw it on the front page. that would be pretty cool i think

Yeah! "Today's flavor is..."

And everyone rejoiced.

daily item specials would be pretty fun!

 i don't know if you can change anything on the actual forums or if it's set, but it'd be cool to see farther back in our comment history. sometimes i can't for the life of me remember which thread it was but i wanna find my post sorta thing. :)

 If you have a general idea of what you said you can go to your profile and search your posts only in the search bar.

 hmm, did not know that, thanks.

Is there any reason why orders are not filled in the order they're placed? I've seen and experienced multiple instances where this inadvertent "line-cutting," if you can call it that, has made the shopping experience a bit sour.

For instance, say that there are 5 pairs of a certain size of plugs in stock when Myriah takes a picture. Now, the first person to buy one of those 5 pairs after the picture is posted should be able to write in the comments specifically which pair they want from the picture, correct? After all, they're all there. Now let's say that the same day, hours later, three more people buy that size of plugs. If the orders get jumbled and Person #4 (who saw "2" in stock when they ordered) gets their order filled before Person #1 and ends up getting the pair that Person #1 requested, and perhaps even no one who ordered was able to get the pair they liked the best... is that still fair?  I saw this happen with the 1/2" fluorite plugs and it makes me very wary of ordering from a Myriah-posted image, since apparently there's a good likelihood that even if I buy something before someone else, they might get what I bought.

Another instance: I ordered 3 of the free bin 1/2" plug packs. When I ordered there were 28 packs still in stock - so that would leave 25 after my order.  I got my order today and there were only 2, because apparently that was "all that was left."  How in the world did anywhere from 8 to 26 people get their orders packed before mine when mine was placed before theirs?

I hope this makes sense and you consider doing things a bit differently, or otherwise provide an answer for why you don't pack things first-come-first-serve. I'd just honestly like to know why that doesn't happen, since it messes with the minds of some customers. :(

I agree completely and have been meaning to bring something up like this (and I think you were referencing me about the fluorite). 

 They have posted a disclaimer about jewelry in photos... It basically says you are not guaranteed the pair you ask for unless it is the last pair available...
