Really?

Within a matter of minutes after opening at 7:30 AM, everything at luxury e-tailer The Outnet's $1 designer sale sold out.

Millions of girls everywhere were probably kicking themselves that morning for not being quick enough to snag a Proenza Schouler dress for the cost of a cup of coffee, or a pair of coveted Louboutins for a single bone. I, for one, was kicking myself with a pair of steel-toed boots because I had totally forgotten about the sale (though I largely blame the site for not sending out a reminder e-mail the day before). But it looks like it doesn't matter; with orders coming in at a rate of 9 per second, only a lucky handful were able to score.

Said the Outnet:

“Whilst we were prepared for the volume of traffic the sale would deliver, we were overwhelmed by the speed at which people came to the site.

“This remarkable volume – up to nine orders a second – led the site to crash in some markets and I want to say that we are very sorry to all those disappointed people who didn’t get to buy anything at the sale, but delighted for all of those who did.”

For the minority of those who triumphed - I hate you and I hope a bird poops on your bought-for-a-dollar Chloe bag.

For the rest -- a support group.
