Piece by piece the audience begins to unbend, soon a species of buying hysteria overtakes them and for a whole there is a regular avalanche of sales. Proceedings cool down a bit, however, after it becomes clear that the so-called limited number of boxes are showing no signs at all of running out, and after a few of the lucky first comers have had a chance to see their prizes.
