9:05am in Charlestown (NSW) and I bought 10, all they had on the shelf (same

me the 'I'm going to resell them' (technically, yes) and 'disappointed
customers' (true) speech but allowed a cash/cc sale. He offered to let me
lay-by them Friday, but I know they will sell out tonight. Also told me they
had none left (lie, the person that stocked the shelf yesterday said they
had more and this guy just showed up), so I'm going back in 3 hours when
they think they have me fooled and buy them out again.

I don't have the brochure - is there are no rainchecks disclaimer? They
*may* have an effectively unlimited supply... (but then again, you *may*
have an effectively unlimited demand!)

I've got the one I bought this morning propped up on my desk at work. The
more I look at it, the more I hope that a second one turns up for me :-)

Incidentally, they had *a lot* of the motorbikes on display at Chatswood -
they don't look to bad at all... it was almost tempting to buy one as a
'consolation' prize.

Cheers
