Catch of the Day have been running a scam today.  Every hour they have been putting up a
product at low price.  What is happening is that on the hour, their site crashes.  When it
comes back, any decent item is listed as sold out.  I wouldn't mind betting that they had
either no products or only one or two.

Be warned about this mob!

So a place with tens (hundreds?) of thousand of subscribers sells out of
limited quantity specials quickly and the web site has problems when all
of these people (like YOU) all access the site at the same time?

Whoda thunk it......
