    Who could ever thought with limit one per order and we could not get one, if we " wait till the exact minute ticks over and i try to buy one" ... it " sold out before I complete purchase "

    The odd is zero to none for many friends.

    "One per order" really meant availability was one order.

    It's a sad day when those that actually wanted it for their set had to stay up all night and not only miss out but see others put them up on eBay immediately for double the price :/

    From Kitccomm

    Wonder if the price will drop significantly in a few days or will it stay at $400+ on eBay

    I successfully ordered 2 (one on behalf of a friend/different account).

    These order numbers had a delta of '68', the second was confirmed 27 minutes after the first and about 5 minutes before it was showing up unavailable (about 01:15) which would suggest at most, 300 were offered through the Perth Mint website - probably fewer.

    That's what I thought ego but they've taken my money and I got what looks like a confirmation email.... Guess I'll just keep the fingers crossed...

    So PM sent you an email, and you were able to buy 2? And they charged you $29 more for each one? And the system let you buy another one on line?
