they are having problems with their server, so they set that up as a "brb, we are having problems" page.
it goes with the previous style of the site, since the site normally sells one item at a time - THIS is the item, the item is nothing - and it's sold out anyway (to prevent anyone from actualy ordering it).
kindof like how if you were to announce that the DBB were having problems - you'd probabaly make it a post in one of the forums. well they did something similar, but since their site it normally "buy this product for $x" they just made a fake product so the annoucement wouldn't detract from the site's normal focus (it still looks the same).
is that an understandable explanation?

lol.. they had a "Bag-O-crap" sale. They must have gotten hammered.
roid. .. this was a lot of html and something about the server in script.
I know what the "Sold out" sign means.
