@OzDJ Thanks, so they didn't actually have the fire-sale yet, but said it was sold out by counting the current people inside the store waiting for one?

@LightDontShine The sale was announced in various media outlets at around 1.00pm on 22Aug11. People started arriving at stores shortly thereafter. As soon as the store found out (~1.15pm) about the sale it they just started selling at the reduced price - not waiting for the official 2pm kick-off. Hope that clarifies.

@SuGxNati0n Hehehe... the store seen here (Harvey Norman, Martin Place - Sydney, Australia) actually gave up answering their phones in the middle of it all. I watched who I suspect was the duty manager instruct his team to "...just leave 'em [the phones] and keep an eye on the customers...'. Hehehe

LOL can you imagine saying "touchpad sold out" all day long? That would suck... They should've just put up a big sign outside.

@ronpack In fairness to Harvey Norman Martin Place management, I'm told that they found out (from head office) about the fire-sale at ~1.10pm, which is AFTER most customers did. There was little time to prepare for the onslaught of people and they really did do their best to maintain order (and safety) in a challenging situation. Asking the security guard to make a quick (repeated) announcement - while NOT the most elegant solution to stemming demand - was quick and effective IMHO.
