When the deal went live, Amazon's servers couldn't handle the traffic and shutdown the entire site. Only to come up later and find all the sale items were sold out because some savvy users went to the secure version of the page (separate server) rather than the linked page (unsecure) advertised on Amazon's promotional pages. Several of these users bought multiple units of the sale item and later sold them on ebay and other auctions/classifieds. Many complaints were filed with the Better Business Bureau and the forums were filled with 1000s of angry customer complaints.
