Recently purchased an ice cream maker from amazon.it from this deal which got quite a lot of interest

I have to say the whole exchange was quite weird since I had to translate everything to make my payment and read the product description. Also, the price seemed a bit too good to be true, delivered at $50. Can't blame me for dreaming!
Just got an email from Amazon today that basically says that they can't send it. I wanted to let people know who might have missed out on the offer so that you don't have to be sad about it! And of course for future reference when offers from amazon.it come up.
Here is the email translated into english:
Dear Customer,

One of our areas of focus is to offer customers the widest selection possible, and for that we keep in stock most of the items in our catalog, but despite our best efforts, the stock of some products can 'run out.
