... The countdown has started...less than 50 minutes to go...who is here?
How hard are you going to hit your credit card this time? 1000 ...2000....10000 pcs? |

The procedure is the following:
...as soon as they open, the site might go down... hundred of thousands of people rushing to get to the order page.
I suggest to refresh the PRODUCTS page, not the Home Page, as they will need to activate it before telling the people that the shop is open...it will give you about 30 seconds margin...
After people will finally gain access to the order pages, you will need to figure out which product to order... single Sales...will be probably disabled... it might be possible that the minimum order size will be 5pcs or multiples of 5.
Here you can gain another 30 seconds...some people will be undecided on how many multiples of 5 to order...they will be busy with the calculator... and try to convert 297 Euro into their local currency.
You might even gain another 40 seconds as people craving for the turbosim will struggle on the shipping method...DHL in 3 days or Regular Mail in 7 days? They might go for the DHL, since DHL order are fulfilled first are more safe...and can get the turbosims earlier to sell on ebay...doing so, they will probably take some time and consider buying 5 more turbosims...to do so...they will have to go back to the order page...and you gain another 30 seconds...
After this step is over, i estimate that 40% of credit cards transaction will be denied on first pass... so having a second valid credit card...will give you more chances...
After that...you will just need to pray...as it will take 2 days before you will actually know if the payment was succesfull. Bladox estimates 24 to 48 hours for fraud protection...
...it will be the hell out there in few minutes... auctions on ebay will drop prices, bottlenecks on payment systems, ...

PiedP,
don't worry...i'm making a lot of jokes in this forum...to kill time...
Since tonight's opening was not announced earlier...only who is monitoring the website knows it.
The last time, bladox announced the opening of Friday the 7th few days in advance...so everybody was prepared...
but tonight, it won't be too bad, i guess... until others will find out tomorrow..
btw i'm from switzerland...where are you from? |

from belgium,
I'm watching the website for several days now, and today, it will be my lucky day, i hope .
Prices for Turbo sim on ebay are far over the edge right now, It isn't normal anymore.
So i hope i can get one tonight, by the (cheap) legal way.
good luck Nekos, keep me updated |

Piedp...
i just remembered looking at my last bill...to pay bladox, you need a paypal account!
The transaction is handled by 2checkout that is using paypal...i don't remember if they have other payment options... |
