Our goal with dynamic pricing is to sell out of each Stick of the Day. The fluctuation in pricing is not random at all, in fact, there are many factors that influence both an upward trend and a downward trend. We're letting you, our community, decide what the product is worth.

The price on the Stick of the Day page updates every 15 seconds on our servers. Yes, it also updates every 15 seconds in your browser. However it is updating on your end every 15 seconds from the time you arrived at the Stick of the Day page so there may be an ever so slight variation. Keep in mind that the variation is minor and you could stick a lower price just as easily as higher price. That is why after sticking an item on the main page you'll see a 45 second timer allowing you to STICK IT! Or KICK IT . From this page you have 45 seconds to decide if you want to go forward and buy the item or go back to the main page and take your chances on getting a better price. The price you see above the timer is locked in for you and will not change unless you KICK IT, wait more than 45 seconds to make a decision or take more than 5 minutes to checkout. Any of these scenarios would redirect you back to the main page.

If you KICK IT you'll be sent back to the main page

If you STICK IT! you'll go to the order process page where you can choose the number of items you want and complete the order. You have 5 minutes to complete your order.

Sure, poke around in the community.

Not at this time.

You don't. It's our little secret.

HoopStick sells one item a day (Stick of the Day). The Stick of the Day will be available until it is "sold out" or replaced by the next item at 08:00 a.m. on the following day. If an item is "sold out" the STICK IT! button will say "sold out."

Every morning at 08:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time we'll post a new Stick of the Day.

Negative...if you were hemming & hawing over an item because you thought for sure the price would be lower later, but that wasn't the case, or you're just a tire kicker and missed out, then you're SOL my little friend.

You missed the point! You have 5 minutes and 45 seconds to purchase the item(s). Once you "stick" an item off the home page, you have 45 seconds to decide if you're going to STICK IT!, go through with it, or if you think you can get a better price by waiting, KICK IT and hope for the best. If you STICK IT!, you have 5 minutes to get through the checkout. Don't dawdle.

Possibly... on occasion we may not sell out of an item or we may get a repeat shipment of an item and re-list it.

The quantity of any single item sold per transaction will vary by item, usually between 1 and 5, sometimes more. HoopStick staff reserves the right to set quantity limits.

Regardless of the quantity you can only process one order per day.

No. You can only buy whatever the set quantity is for that particular item per transaction.

At the present time most items are going FedEx Ground or USPS, but that is subject to change, and yes, you will receive a shipping confirmation email including tracking details (if tracking details are available) once your order has shipped.

Everything we sell is in stock and should ship within three to five business days of your order.

We are currently shipping to the 48 contiguous states commonly known as the Continental United States which does not include Alaska and Hawaii (sorry guys), only to valid street addresses and no PO Boxes.

Sure, chances are it's a useless trinket but think of it as our gift to you.

Your friend got lucky.
