I know your busy and all but taking a quick count doesn't hurt and it really doesn't take too much time. After all we are paying a $1 each for your time to take counts and stay on top of this GB. Letting buyers know the current amount and price encourages them to buy more to reach a certain count. Collin's GB is a great example of this.
It only took me 10 minutes to take a quick count from all the responses on this thread.
Nyancat Backspace: 85
Rainbow Up: 448
Rainbow Down: 392
Triforce Esc: 62
Big no-no's in peace making dialogue... "i know..., but" "he/she does better job" "we paid $, therefore" "only took me"
Instead of all that, you could have only posted the count and received praise.
There's no need to get hostile with anyone in this GB, there's only a small handful of people who organizes these things, because quite frankly, it's a pain in the ass... paying a $1 handling fee does not entitle you to demand things.
Yes, I come in here to check the total quantity, but notice the OP has not been updated since the 15th, it's not the end of the world, eventually, we'll all get our caps and everyone will be satisfied. It's not like we place our orders with the condition that the quantity meets a certain price break, the further reduced price is just a bonus.
If I offend you, I apologize.
Sorry to derail
