OP

Quoted from acebathound:

Doesn't seem like the guy making them was able to keep up with demand -- so the website has been down for quite a while. They were originally posted on KLOV and I'd imagine there was much lighter demand over there. People have day jobs, etc and this was probably just something made and offered for sale without expectation of huge volumes of orders. Considering the quality & that the nvram was being sourced directly from the manufacturer (and not cheaper "unknown quality" parts imported from overseas) it's no surprise there was huge demand.. but profit margins were/are probably pretty thin at the price these were offered at.
I believe some people indicated in this thread they were successful emailing and placing an order. So.. right now the guy making them is probably just throttling demand instead of allowing people to place large orders via a website and having unhappy customers if he can't keep up. Just my opinion on what may be going on.
