couple of quick thoughts (as a slickdeals addict myself)...

1) are you saying the slickdeals post didn't give adequate info or the
Amazon page didn't give adequate info?

2) once things are posted to slickdeals, they don't last long (because
they're often posted to other deal sites as well, such as fatwallet or
deals2buy).  it's possible that there was adequate stock (as far as
various sizes/colors), but they did sell out after the 'deals' sites
posted 'em.

3) i've seen a lot of the apparel threads @ amazon on slickdeals, and
they're frequently not being sold directly by Amazon, but by vendors
who use Amazon.  if it's a 3rd party vendor, might be more appropriate
to rant about them specifically instead of Amazon (altho you could
argue that Amazon should be held responsible to a degree for the
actions of the vendors that use their service).
