What's better than a new status that shows exactly how popular the deal was that it sold old within a set time limit of being posted? Well; we call this OzBargained the phrase has been around for a couple of years now and I think if a deal has been posted and within 15 minutes of the post it's sold out, we should OzBargained the deal not Out Of Stock!
This is something to brag about, we are the anonymous of bargains! We are take down sites, smash deals and still want more!
The OP would also get a badge; a silver one as it would be an impressive deal!
WHOS WITH ME ;)
I would estimate that at any one time the ratio of guests to members on the site is about 4/1.
I think it would probably just confuse the majority of guests unless it had out of stock/expired next to it as well.
