What Am I to Make of This Offer? What If the Last One Sells before the Timer Reaches 0?

    So, I get this email promoting a great product (basically, a web store creator in a box) for the low price of just $16.97. Sweet! But I'm told that once the countdown timer reaches 000 00 00 00 the price will increase to at least $47.00. Thing is, there's only one left at the cheaper price.

    Question: What happens if someone else buys that last one and I click the Buy Now button while the timer hasn't run out? Will I get a message telling me there are no more available and to try again after the timer reaches zero?

    Really, are you that gullible?..there's always gonna be 1 left at the offer price, but chances are the product is a pile of old crap anyway, don't waste your money on it.

    Actually, no. I just posted this to illustrate the importance of not sending confusing messages when selling. I'm quite familiar with the Only 1 More at $16.97! sort of urgency tactic well and it's fine but not when used together with a countdown timer. It should either be one or the other.

    Yes as a product creator and an affiliate I agree that having both is daft....someone who is using a Plugin or software they are not familiar with maybe to create the sales page??
