  They were $39.95 if I remember correctly. They sold out in less than two weeks and are currently going for $600 or more for the most common design. They are really neat since they were cancelled with a ground "X" accross the die face leaving about 95% of the design intact rather than being totally defaced like the current dies being sold by the mint.

  No, they were $49.95 per Die set.
  
  I ordered 500 Dies, on three different Credit Cards,
  and got a confirmation number on each order from the
  Mint.
  
  4-5 Days later, the Mint was overwhelmed with orders
  (I knew they would be, they were an incredible deal
  at $50 each!), and the Mint cancelled my orders totaling
  500 Dies, and instead, I got one Die per order - total of 3 !!

  I believe you are wrong. I called them the same day the sale started that morning and was told they were sold out. I was quite disappointed.
