Quick question... Have you considered letting customers come mine their own rocks?
Removing choice is fine, but people will want to know what number they'll get if they order right now. Even if you can't or won't show the next rock, show the next number.
That's actually kinda hard, no? Say the server has a counter. When you load the page, it's at 57, so it displays that you would be ordering #57. While you're looking at this, someone else loads the page - what number do you show them? If you show 57, then whoever orders first gets it and the other person gets a message "Sorry, not available. Want 58 instead?" but the same thing could then happen to them with #58, too…

IIRC many websites (e.g. for buying concert tickets) have a lock mechanism where you have X amount of time to make your purchase during which time only a limited number of people can be in the checkout process.
Sequential assignment follows strict order of payment completion only. No race conditions, no held inventory, no time windows. You either complete the transaction and receive the next sequential number, or you don't.
The constraint is designed to eliminate the entire apparatus of purchase optimization, including queue management systems.
I need unnumbered rocks. Can you remove the numbering?
Congrats on the launch! Small suggestion - work on the semantic structure and SEO. It's all H1 Tags as far as the eye can see!

Rocks are not physically modified. Sequential numbering exists in our documentation system only - reflected on the Certificate of Authenticity and archive database. The rocks themselves remain in their natural state.

But they are still numbered.
Are those pet rocks or wild rocks? Are they homebroken? Can they be a home rock as I won't be able to take them for walks daily.
