Did you pay a crazy amount for it too? Did you resolve it? Get your money back? Im curious lol
Thankfully no; just $15. But it's the principle of the thing! Lol. I opened a case on eBay to try to get a refund, but the seller kept insisting that it was authentic (saying various absurd things including that they called “Mac Pro” and they “told” them that there was a “problem with the machine” :lmao:) and they told me I will have to return the thing to get my money back. I kept on trying to reason with them & told them that I didn't want to pay for return shipping and that eBay's policy says that the buyer doesn't have to return counterfeit items and should throw it away. I also didn't wanna return it because they'd most likely resell it to another victim. They didn't want to give me the refund since I'm not returning so basically I have to wait 3 business days to escalate the case to eBay CS. And I'm still assed out of sweet experience :( Wanna see pics of the fake? Lol

I know! The screwy machine bit got me :lmao: Aww thanks doll! It's the thought that counts :kiss: Sadly, the only ones I seen for sale on here were from international sellers and I just can't justify the shipping costs. So I had to get my fix somewhere :lol:

Hahaha! I am thoroughly contemplating it :) I loved the yellow tones in SE & ANR is on the blue side, but I just may have to get it! I will probably still buy SE it I come across it :haha: skippers remorse is very real lol. Not on eBay though of course!

True! The yellow tones in SE did make it sort of special. Well if I see one from a US seller on specktra..I'll send it your way. Skippers remorse is one of the worse feelings :hug:

I love nerd stuff, too, although this just looks like inventory for various sku numbers for various regions. How do you know what region number you live in?
The region numbers are shown when you click the “show region list” link

the US region code is 0. Some of the inventory quantities that were posted buy that other user were under different region codes other than the US (sideshow you for example).

The 9333 quantity that I posted is under the US region code and there is no error stated so I believe it is the correct number.

HTH!

Edit: the 400 something quantity that was posted by that other user shows the 27 region code which is for Canada. So I'm guessing only 400 something SY's are going to be sold on the MAC Canada site as opposed to the 9333 on the US site.
I discovered the legend for the region codes. It seems that all of the items with the SKU error had a Canada region code. What I haven't figured out yet is how you all have gotten info on specific products. Everything is listed by category ID and I can access general categories for products that are already for sale, but I don't see a way to a) know the category id for the products that aren't on sale yet, b) access the sky ticker for something like a Simpson's lip gloss. PM?
And just now when I tried to go to MAC;s site the honest way, I got a message that it's being updated and is unavailable. I've never, ever gotten that message before. Maybe they don't like us poking around.

They update the site all the time. It's nothing new.

I'm not sure I am answering your questions. (sometimes my english isn't good enough :( )
But we crossed the 2 different sites/links that has been posted in this tread earlier. So the tickersite has a sku code, and a quantity, and then we searched for the sku code in the other link.
Example: Sku base id 58034 has 6421 total, no sold. http://www.maccosmetics.com/shared/prodcat/ticker.tmpl
While this link shows that sku58034 is pink sprinkles http://www.maccosmetics.com/shared/prodcat/sku_info.tmpl?SKU_ID=SKU58034&CART_ID=

I have not tried to buy anything from maccosmetics, and I don't really know how they do that. And I don't need to know :)

I figured it out, thanks, though. I'm not trying to buy anything, but when I try to go to the main site it says it's not available. I hope I'm not blocked! I have a shortcut that I always use. Maybe I'll try restarting my iPad, hopefully that will renew my IP address.

The mac site is being updated for me aswell. Don't think I'm blocked tho. It's just a normal update as far as I know. :)

This SKU stuff, HTML codes may as well be Chinese to me. Call me old fashioned but I want to wait, that's part of the excitement.
