Default FAN960 Store Items SOLD OUT way too quickly

So there I was, refreshing the "Store" page on the FAN960 site, eagerly awaiting the "Buy" field to appear right next to the NHL 08 for the XBOX 360. It appeared, and quickly I clicked my mouse button for the cursor was right over the "Buy" button. The prompt came up to ask if I was sure. I quickly pressed "yes". I quietly do the "pump the arm" gesture to signify success. A few seconds later, I see the dreaded "this item has sold out" page. I'm like...WTF! I couldn't believe it. I'm tellin' you guys, I was lightning quick.

So here's my question...How many of these games did they have in stock? One?

I am a member of every radio station in town and this happens quite a bit, especially for items that are good. They usually have between 5-10 items in stock, some more some less but on average they are about 5-10.
Some stations are even worse, namely QR77, Country 105 and Q107, they give away points like water so people will buy stuff even if they do not want them, they just can and have nothing better to do. Jack is getting to that point as well since they give on average 2000 points a day.
I have seen this quite a few times where I refresh to wait for it to become available and then all of a sudden they sell out. Heck I have seen it where just in the time to refresh the page it has gone from "coming soon" to Sold Out.
