I managed to get some in my cart last night but could never get through
the checkout process. I gave up. Then this morning I went back and
refreshed the screen and, sure enough, still two in my cart. I finished
the order and got an e-mail confirmation. However, now that their site
is working better I also went back to try to re-order more just to see
what would happen and neither part number is valid. Either they sold
out or realized the error of the part/price and pulled them. Probably
nobody will get any. No free beer in life...
