there's usually a buy and wait option as well
seems to me like the shop didn't do anything wrong, though - you were just too slow
if you see an email saying a module you want is back in stock then buy it immediately
do not wait do not pass go do not collect 200 of whatever major currency you use - just buy it
almost, if not all, production runs of eurorack modules are 'short runs' mostly in the hundreds or less, these then have to get distributed between retailers - so each retailer might get 10 or 20 modules - so selling out very quickly is not uncommon especially with corona added demand - it's not like white goods where they get delivered by the truckload

Not faulting the shop at all...more power to them if they can sell them out that quickly...just wishing one of them would have been to me :)
I literally got an email in my inbox late last night (11:49pm) and saw it first thing this morning...hopped on to their website at 7:30am this morning and gone...lol
I will definitely be upping my 'monopoly' game going forward and not passing go and collecting 200 ;)
