Was this on purpose to highlight the sold out items? I am just curious.
Hi Paul,

I indeed highlighted the sold out items first, sort of treating them as a percentage sold vs available.
It wasn't meant to be a top ten volume, since it was a random volume restricted list, but a top ten popularity.
The high volume, max quantity limited, high credit per piece, sold out items were obviously most in demand.
However, the more limited quantities of most of those out-of-stock items impact judging whether they would have "sold" a lot more or not. That's also why I limited the list to ten and cut off the lower end of items that had fewer than 200 originally available.

We'd need a bunch more people to post their complete results lists (with misses too) to tell us which round some of the items ran out, hence their more absolute popularity. For instance, we know from posts approximately which pass the Talon SRX's or the air tanks ran out.

That's why I posted the entire list, so people could do their own sorting and interpretations of the results.
