Miniature Market sent out an email today offering a 10% store wide sale, and then sent out a second email stating the sale was cancelled. I can't ever remember seeing a sale cancelled like this in the age of the electron… What is going on over there? |

What is going on over there? Not a sale. |

I was looking at their website and then it went down for "maintenance." Maybe Volkswagen owns it…. |

Yeah, I got that as well. Weird. |

Most likely option is that they set up the sale, then realized a website or payment service glitch that would keep them from actually taking orders correctly. |

They apologized. Stuff happens. Next time maybe they'll make it 15% off to make of for this one. : ) |

Computer glitches happen. They did say they'ld run the offer again sometime soonish. No biggie. |

From the email they sent me: "Due to circumstances beyond our control, we unfortunately need to cancel today's sale. Please continue to check your emails, as we will reschedule our special savings offer for another time in the near future. Feel free to contact customer service with any questions (support@miniaturemarket.com). We apologize for any inconvenience." |

Hackers, yup, that's what it is. Sneaked into their servers, offered a sale, and since they didn't know about it…they would have lost customers. That's my guess, anyway. |

Set for Oct 31, but a typo got it out on the 13. My bet. |

Give it a rest, people, they apologized. An explanation is not mandatory but if appropriate (and it may not be…) they will tell customers what happened. They are not cutting off the sale of life saving medications… |

I wasn't meaning to accuse them of anything (and I apologize if I appeared to be doing so). It does still seem odd to me that a 10 hour long 10% off sale would be cancelled even if (for example) the date were originally set for the 31st. I am a curious fellow… |

Some people got in on the sale before it went dead. |
