It looks really awesome. Unfortunately that line "Order now! Quantities are limited!" means I won't make the purchase, where I would typically have made one to support what otherwise looks like a professional site and useful tool.
I've seen the tactic before. Create a sense of urgency through scarcity. Scarcity makes people buy.
Seriously? Limited quantities of a digital asset?
Having seen most marketing tricks (starting with the best one of all - "lather, rise and... repeat") I may be a little too sensitive to it.
Sorry if that didn't come across, but that was indented as a parody of obnoxious sites that create false scarcity. By definition, a web product like an eBook can't be limited in quantity. So I thought the humor would be clear.
But I hadn't considered that there are sites that use this tactic even to sell eBooks or subscriptions, so I should probably clarify this… Curious to know if other people got the joke or took it literally?
No, I think that's hilarious. If anything, the comments here supporting you will help teach some humor skills to those of us don't need the lesson in social interaction.
