    Chill. Out. Everyone. This could very easily have just been a bug in their service and so they took it down for maintenance to fix it before anyone bought it for the wrong price. This can happen, coding is difficult when multi-regions are involved. Just have some patience.

    Yes I just responded to you on Reddit. I think what you're saying is really unlikely.

    I've been in the regional UI-business, and developed a lot of code that had to account for regional pricing, symbols, and conversion rates. It is the biggest nightmare to deal with, and prone to errors. I would suspend judgement until someone can even confirm anything on the site once it's fixed and back up.

    There are bad ways to win - good ways to lose. What's interesting and troubling is that its not always clear which is which. A flipped coin doesn't always land heads or tails. Sometimes it may never land at all
