MahPah Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 All the time I see people commenting on preorder all the time saying the quantity left even when the site doesn't say. How do you guys find that out? Is there a way to see the qty available for an item? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezagenius Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Sometimes websites show how many are remaining. Ones like Temporary Residence or Blood Music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 some other sites you can type in a ridiculous number like 9999 in quantity and it will show an error saying "Sorry, you can only buy 1,257 copies" which means that's how many are left.

THE_James_Champ Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 With some sites, you add a large amount to the cart, say 1000. If there's less than 1000 in stock, the cart should update with an accurate number. Remember to release the items after you're done checking though.

slinch Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 other times you can check by putting a huge quantity in a cart and the system tells you how many are available but sometimes you just take a leap of faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheriver Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm just trying to figure out if I've missed the limited color version of something. Can you still place an order? If so, congrats you didn't miss it! If no, sorry you waited too long. entendu, souljacker8888 and Rapidfiretollbooth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you guys find that out? Is there a way to see the qty available for an item? Please do not do the things that people are telling you to by loading your cart and seeing what the message says. It seriously can mess with store's inventories. If you want to know, hit up the label via email, or twitter or whatever. mrc and radiatorhums 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colored version was only the first 500 sold, not a separate purchase option. If i missed the color i can wait on the black copy to hit stores and will buy something else now. Those of us with limited funds have to strategize our purchases. Just forget I even asked this question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just forget I even asked this question. If the label is advertising "first 500 sold are colored" then it's probably safe to say their online inventory doesn't actually differentiate between colored and black. There will be no "trick" to checking if the first 500 have sold already, just gotta do what Tre said and contact the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollyronnie Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 If they are advertising it as "the first 500" in an attempt to get you to order now, but have already sold through the first 500, that would be a total dick move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuckinandsuckinandtouchin Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Email the label and ask, I'm sure you will get a response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
