Well, I don't think there are any scripts that do that specifically, but I know how you could easily make one in CGI.
1) Write the info posted into a text file.
2) Make the CGI program read the text file and show the results.
3) If there are 10+ lines in the text file then it will e-mail you.
It's that simple..

Hello,
Well, it should be simple to make. But, why do you want to wait till there are 10 orders anyway ? Why not process the orders as and when they come ? Imagine the first of the ten guys, he'll have to wait for (perhaps) an eternity till the tenth guy orders something.
Also, you'll have to store sensitive information such as payment details in the text file right ?
Instead use a cart and process the orders one at a time. Its simpler too!
Regards
Arpith

I hope this is what you were looking for:
http://dlo.net/~rob/cgi-bin/test/dvd.cgi
When 10 entries are found, it will use Sendmail to send all the entries to you, and than will empty the database.
The source can be found at: http://dlo.net/~rob/cgi-bin/test/dvdsource.txt
Hope that helps.
