The flash sale seems either like a hoax or a marketing scheme. Not trying to sound negative but when the countdown ends for the day none of the suppliers change their site to promo pricing and today I proved it by setting up a webpage monitor to all promo sites which update every 5 seconds. The bigger sites suppose to sell 10 pieces per day, I should have noticed a change even if it did sell out in seconds. Waste of time boys, accept the $229 price .
