where can I find out the "discount count down by the time"

[mc12345678]

And if the system is changed to in fact "reserve" the item, what's to prevent someone from cycling through and keeping it/them in reserve indefinitely?

Certainly perhaps other text could be used to instill urgency, but like swguy said in summary, first to check-out wins...

Part of the "reserve" modification needs to be logic to prevent this kind of abuse. You might even associate a fee with the reservation.

That is true, you guys make a good point.

I would have to modify this with logic of course, but any ideas why I cant get get it to load inside the page using the on_load override??
