Awesome news but it also sounds like they may have under-estimated interest and demand and consequently under-priced their product , there are always 2 sides to consider with this type of news of an early sell out … that said , the ?? sold out?? headline is a great mid-longer term marketing and product positioning value and stake in the ground ??
