Yep about one more week and the order status is really slow, I guess we could not make it this time with this GB...
The way you set this up, it makes people not want to order because of the lack of transparency.
This. I mean I'm curious.. How many orders have even been made? What are the price breaks like and have we reached any of them? Seeing the numbers like that usually help convince people to order.
Also only showing the maximum price is REALLY discouraging to somebody who doesn't read the whole post and is only looking for numbers. I understand that the maximum price is not the final price, but it's bad advertising and it's bad marketing. While it might make your life easier for this group buy, what is better? Making your life easier, but discouraging buyers? Or making a bit more work for yourself, and encouraging buyers as well as promoting transparency?
I'm quite certain there's a reason that most all group buys show what the price breaks are like, and show how many orders they've received, because it helps market the group buy to potential buyers.
Not much that can be done about it now though, only a week left, and by the sounds of Jil's post, the damage is done... Or, maybe if he updates the main post to include the order count as well as price breaks, and extends the deadline a week or two... maybe we'll pull in enough orders to make this a success.
