His (extremely valid) point is that we're all loaning Sherry a nigh hundred orders of $160+ each at 0% interest with little to no word on when we'll see the fruit of our investment, doesn't take a genius to realise that.
Do I regret being in on the buy? Not really, love the set as much as I did when the IC started. Would I rather pay Oco's markup on sets that are in stock whenever it does arrive rather than having $170 somewhere in bitspace (or rather, someone's bank account, be it Sherry's or GMKs) since September 2016? Abso****inglutely rofl. It's not even remotely close. The valuation of my money would have to be pretty skewed for that to be something to even ponder.
To each their own however, of course!
Wait, so I'm the only one that doesn't want to pay more than I have to for this to get it at the same time, if not earlier than retail? In my mind this is paid for and I'm just waiting for the product at this point, I don't see how you guys would have rather paid more to get it later than we are for the cheaper GB price. That seems totally backwards to me. In this case I know that I will get it, I know it is paid for, and I know that I will get it "early" compared to retail, and I don't have to worry about whether or not I will have, or need to budget for, the funds when this hits retail, for me it is a no-brainer... I get it cheaper, and I get it sooner, than retail
Yeah, but you are also out $160 already. The point is, there is always GB and other things going on that ppl want. Why tie up money in something that doesn't require it to save like $10 and a few days shipping? Sure a few days early is nice, but how long has the wait been now? Does a few more days REALLY matter at all? Unless you REALLY REALLY need to post your pictures before the other people who bought the same thing (which YOU DON'T need to do, though you may want to).
If there is something else I want, say next week, I would much rather have an extra $160 in the bank to buy it and x months to get the funds back in time to buy keps which for me is a no brainer. There is always more money next month, it's all about what I have to give up to buy it right now.
