    I will have a pool of people build up that want a particular item (really, it's the only item sold on the site, a service). I will "release" a set number of these items at a time and those waiting will be able to buy them until the current "supply" runs out.

    I know I can accomplish this by limiting the quantity on the item, and in the end I know that's the way I may have to go.

    What I'd like to do is have an item where the price is always listed, it's always "available" for purchase (quantity or no quantity) but you have to have a coupon in order to buy it.

    That way I can just create a new coupon and "release" it when I'm ready for the next wave of sales.

    Is this do-able?

    The cart doesn't have a "is coupon applied" pre-condition check option because the limited quantity is controlled by inventory control feature. You will need to custom code it if you want this. Not sure if the following will work for you.

    1) Set the item price to some really high value (example: $10,000). This way no one is going to checkout.
    2) A visitor can only use a coupon to bring down the price to a sane amount (example: 99% discount which brings the price to $100).

    Obviously, you will have message on the page that explains the whole thing.
