I don't understand why Mi bother to arrange sale if they are going to keep so low quantities on sale.
For the hype dude. Because they know that to consumers, limited quantity/flash sale=good product=will be hard to get later=have to get. Marketing tricks to get things sold quickly. Its all about the hype and you guys are playing right into their hands. Exactly how they wanted it to be. Works every time and you guys just proved it. :p

I don't understand why these companies don't just produce a sufficient quantity and sell like any other phone company does. 2 weeks in a row and next week no 32 gb is just pita.

I understand it creating a hype for it but now that they have established a demand why not meet that demand instead of toying around.

Managed to order a Redmi Note 3 (Gold) today. In fact, I got opportunity to add Black and White versions as well.

^^ I was planning to order Le 1s if I couldn't get the Redmi Note 3 today

Since this is anyway a backup phone, I wan't too particular about getting the 3GB version

^^ So what's new? India has already been a dumping ground. At the very least, this is a new phone. Typically, stuff that is already outdated and defective that remains unsold in other countries is dumped to our country and sold at premium prices. This is the price to pay for not having a truly open market with lots of competition.
