    The problem I encountered was that they use a different ecommerce platform for their shipping sales so I couldn't populate the fields with information from their standard site. Over it.

    400 cases.....selling out in less than 5 min. Amazing. Sucks for me and others who missed out. Happy for Moniksh that they sound as though they are still maintaining operations with limited (hopefully) impact to their bottom line.

    Also struck out, tried to just use apple pay and that didn't work either. I feel like there are about 20 cases going out so its like the lotto.

    Constantly reloaded, prepopulated my address/CC info into my web browser, added mixed pack + checkout within 30 seconds...all gone. :-\

    However the California Reality pack was still available to add to my cart for a hot second afterwards, but that too disappeared within another 30 seconds.

    Ah well.

    If anyone is interested in splitting a case of California Reality, let me know. I am in South OC (Laguna Beach). I went for the mixed case and it sold out so I pivoted to the other case, but don't really want a full one. I'm not going to ship it or drive anywhere, so if you are local and want to pick it up let me know.

    The problem is that they release on Shopify which is a very exploitable platform, especially in the sneaker community.

    You really need a bot to even have a chance

    Ya mine showed up today.
    Also people should pass on the word to not support these secondary sellers that are hogging up all the beers.

    It makes me happy when people who trip over themselves to buy Monkish cans get their feathers ruffled.

    I just refreshed at 9:59 and had no issues getting two 4 packs. *Shrugs*
    Now let's see how the pick up goes. Heading there about 3.

    Why don’t they just raise their prices. Clearly the demand is monumentally higher than the supply. Instead they are letting resellers make a profit by marking up 100% - 200%. Just raise your prices and make more money. It’s better than giving these secondary sellers a business. Took a quick glance a EBay just to see. All kinds of people selling the beers released just yesterday for $50 - $60 per four pack.

    I just checked my email and somehow my order went through even though it said sold out. Not sure how that happened but I have a confirmation for mixed case.

    If they did that I wouldn't buy them, I'm sure they could still sell-out without me though. I honestly don't know who pays secondary, I have sold some stuff in the past but I have never paid it. It baffles my mind that people do pay it though.

    While I understand your point, you’d likely alienate many of the casual customers. Many people are oblivious to the secondary market and would not take kindly to Monkish “capitalizing” on it. This would be a perfect example of a small minority of shitlords profiteering on someone else’s product and ruining it for everyone else.

    To clarify, I’m not saying raise them to same level as secondary market. But if they’re selling out in 10 seconds at $20 - $25 per 4 pack, consider increasing to say $30.
