SOS Skate Decks - 6th May, by gibbin82 on May 7, 2011 0:01:54 GMT 1, Hey, calm down, it was a tongue in cheek throwaway comment and no offence was meant, any comments about the bay were meant as joke (the smilies were meant to show that) but I seem to have hit a nerve somewhere. Regardless of whether you were offered one before or not many people missed out on these, myself included and getting angry and being offensive and abusing people is not going to get you one of these or win you any friends that may be willing to help you out in the future. So if you can take a deep breath and relax, it isn't the end of the world, you lost this time (as I did) next time you might win I haven't been abusive to anyone! I haven't named any names therefore I have done nothing wrong. I apologize as I lost my cool and hope you understand! But joking around about ebay is not cool with me! Sorry I was offensive but I don't know you and I just don't appreciate being called greedy. It's all apples, pies, and flowers when you want to make jokes but how about this don't joke around with me in the future when I miss out! It pisses me off is all! Sorry we got off on the wrong foot and again I'm sorry! Ta Ta and have a nice weekend. I'm going to spend some quality time with my MUM.....Peace and LOVE Jon
No worries, have a good weekend

SOS Skate Decks - 6th May, by chrispa on May 7, 2011 0:09:29 GMT 1, not when so many had been "pre-sold" How do you know? I'd guess its because of the 1/1 etc. People always get refunded on larger SOS editions.
How do I know because there was no buy button - they came up as sold out straight away...

There was definitely a buy button on one of the ones you listed as 'not having a buy button' but i was refunded. Perhaps you just missed the buy button.

I just think its whos got the fastest computer system
Sucks that in the UK most regions average around 20mb broadband and other countries have around 100mb. Thats a good head start!

There was definitely a buy button on one of the ones you listed as 'not having a buy button' but i was refunded. Perhaps you just missed the buy button.
The buy button stayed there until it had been paid for and it could also be added to your basket until it had been taken down, which I believe was done manually rather than automatically, this is why many people thought they had one in their basket and paid for, at the other end they were altering the site adding and removing the buy buttons at the same time as processing (and canceling) the payments, it also explains why the were put up individually or in batches rather than all at once.

SOS Skate Decks - 6th May, by mzungu on May 7, 2011 11:10:15 GMT 1, It was a weird 45 minutes yesterday. I got refunded on two. Its a really cruel system aint it. I think Chris was just picking whomever he wanted for the decks. Maybe taht's nonsense but I got really suspicious about the whole thing and wondered if there was actually any real chance of getting one. Did anyone on here score anything? There was that one deck available at the start that seemed to stay there forever but other than that I reckon it was a big fix.

Obviously some were pre sold, although i'm sure if kate had wanted to she could have sold all of them a number of times over to people who asked before the drop, so i think any going live was a bonus.

SOS Skate Decks - 6th May, by joeschmo on May 7, 2011 12:26:53 GMT 1, Mzungu, you from Uganda?
I'm sure there were plenty people faster than me checking out with these, and doubt Kate would pick who she wanted unless she knew if someone was a flipper or not.

SOS Skate Decks - 6th May, by gibbin82 on May 7, 2011 16:49:56 GMT 1, I am sure there were some of these skate boards available but there was so many after them and the Souled Out site is not up to it, I contacted Kate about it and she replied:
"Due to the owners of SOS being slackers and tight bastards we have a very old ghetto style website with no real checkout cart, hence most decks over selling by 20-30 pieces, I've had to sell it to the first buyer to keep things fair.
I'm very sorry about this, we've got the most backward site on the internet, I'm sure in about 10 years it'll be thought of as quirky, but to be honest right now its crap at handling releases of limited editions!
We will be having more Skate decks from Mau Mau but not for another 6 months, he's in the UK working on a small solo show at the moment, and won't be with us till at least October."
A couple of interesting things in there, one that Mau Mau is getting a show together in the UK somewhere and that there will be another chance to get lucky or frustrated in six months time. ;D
