(SHIPPING)Late February/March Geekhack Doubleshot GB

[Edjewh]

What i did Copy and paste FTW:first:

[hashbaz]

i swear if they keep it up im just not taking their order for not following directions. i hate having to PM them back when its not needed

I experienced this with my group buy as well.  Annoying, but unavoidable it seems.

[gimpster]

These have grown too cheap since I ordered. I need to bump my order to 10 to make the shipping worthwhile. I'll follow up with a PM.

Also, +1 to the modifiers in the future, mix it up a bit.

[reaper]

Hmmm.. I didn't have that problem with the Shamrock group buy but then again, cactux was handling all the PM's. lol

[demik]

somebody should have warned me lol.

actually it hasn't been that bad. maybe ~10 ppl and all were quick to reply when asked.

but still, if 50+ can get it right then it was obviously easy to understand what i wanted

[RColinTaylor]

My world!

Its cute that you guys think the lacking PM information is bad. I had 800 pm's by the end of my failed buy and all of those were people ordering more, combining orders, or asking for keycaps that I hadn't ever heard of. The problem with shipping is simple: charge one price; that is what I did.

[demik]

problem with that is that somebody will get over charged while others will get under charged.

i dont want angry PMs. i rather be the one complaining


and you did a hell of a job keeping that group buy organized and up to date.

It is actually way easier than I care to admit.

I took my 32" tv and made it my main monitor, had my excel spreadsheet (Which automatically tallied prices by count and created a mini-invoice that broke it all down) and then I would spend about an hour a day cycling through the PM's in order to keep up to date. Most of the other work was just in promoting the buy and keeping in contact with Melissa and that was easily done via my phone while at school.

[metafour]

I used to do this, and people didn't do it


So I changed it to this


That still didn't work, so I decided on this


It still doesn't work, people manage to still manage to not put ANYTHING and I have to hunt for the people through PMs




Refer to above, it doesn't work

I missed this when I sent payment today because I was just reading the email notification which included the information I needed and I was already logged into Paypal ready to send money. Wish the PM notification email was formatted better.

[mkawa]

i said 4$, sir. i think that's pretty clearly disambiguating. whatever, withdraw my order then. i could really care less.

[RColinTaylor]

Whoa there hoss; I only have about three fifty at the moment but I will get you your money. Please, leave these innocent people alone!

[demik]

Your wish is my command. Order withdrawn.

And it's I couldn't care less.

[mkawa]

more clearly: i have no interest in this group buy; please withdraw my order. i am sending an explicit PM to this effect as well. thanks duder.

on a serious note, if you don't want to have to sort through a million pms, automate the process. if people who aren't super cranky want help doing this, it would probably take me about an hour and i'd be happy to do it (and not in perl either, goddamn)

[demik]

Such attitude lol.

It's fine the way it is.

I asked for 3 simple things.

Order
Shipping
Shipping info

Nothing more, nothing less.

[RColinTaylor]

Such attitude lol.

First you kick down kisa's joy sand castle and noww you spill this guy'4 milk... Such a schoolyard bully.

[mkawa]

i offered to pay you money for something i don't really need or even want all that much and i got back a page of *****ing because i didn't say the word standard somewhere, even though i (had to!) send two separate and distinct messages to different places to officially offer to pay you money for something i don't want or need, AND one of those messages that you obviously saw implied that i wanted standard.

If you so clearly don't want something then why are you adimate that he do everything flawlessly and on insinuation?

[demik]

I'm not going to argue with you.

You aren't paying me ****. You're contributing to the group buy.


And for the record, I wasn't going to cut anybody out for something to trivial as forgetting to put in shipping.

[WhiteFireDragon]

oh noez, please no flame war and keep it civil. Or take it to PMs.

[Bertross]

Hmmm we need a positive attitude guys, i made a few mistakes today but it was sorted with love.

Also you have to give a thanks to the Op for even orgaising these awesome groupbuys.... who wants boring mechs?!

Anyways much <3 from me is all youll get. its not hard to rectify a simple mistake but flaming the op esp one so popular lkke demik wont get anyone anywhere fast. its a priviledged service as it is to have a forum like this and even more have the ability to buy these custom orders.

Ok thats enough bs from me. <3

[Josh Nath]

[Bertross]

51 cents each mate

[Josh Nath]

thank you.  contemplating adding more to my order.

[thegunner100]

thank you.  contemplating adding more to my order.

Do it! The more you buy, the greater the potential of saving!

[mkawa]

sorry folks, was pissed about DRG losing yesterday, and not all that interested in these, soi i snapped when i shouldn't have.

[Ascaii]

please bump my order to 10. Thanks.

[Sifo]

sorry folks, was pissed about DRG losing yesterday, and not all that interested in these.

Gl to him at GSL, Genius has beaten him so many times + jetlag + Genius has more time to prepare. DRG deserves a win though -- and why'd you order in the first place o.o they're so cheap now anyway :S

[mkawa]

no it's why i start *****ing. i'm not buying the caps because i don't want the caps.

the guy totally deserves a big win though. such a boss and he's only properly won one iem. and that last game! it wasn't clear at all that he was out of it. total idra gg timing. GAH! the more i think about that game..

anyway tldr; apologies to demik and RCT for snapping, was in a bad mood, etc. let's all be friends and run awesome group buys together, the end.

[dorkvader]

7bit tried that with r4. It's "easy" to automate, but everyone complains about it being too complicated.
----
Now I need to decide if I want 5,10, or more. Luckily I still have a few days.

[mkawa]

the right want to do it is to write a simple webapp that hooks into a sqlite db somewhere. the problem with 7bit's thinger is that a) it seems a bit ugly and inflexible (obviously i'm inferring here, but from conversations with him it seems pretty difficult for him to reinterpret results and b) the input is free-form, there's no front-end UI.

[demik]

If you are in hazeluff's GG group but and would like both this and his shipped together let me know so I won't charge you shipping.

[tsangan]

in for 100 if it ships tomorrow!

[hazeluff]

in for 100 if it ships tomorrow!

So in other words:

"0"

[tsangan]

So in other words:

"0"

Well I didn't want any anyways! :spit:

[hazeluff]

Well I didn't want any anyways! :spit:

Where is your GH pride...

I am disappoint.

[demik]

Even though I know you're just posting to boost your post count, what I meant was some people didn't even bother to put what shipping they want in the pm.

Clear?

[demik]

Don't threadcrap

As big a DRG fan as I am (and regardless, I always root for the zerg), no one has gotten closer to more titles than MKP.  Props to him.

[mkawa]

i thought that's what ripster did.

no mkp totally deserved it, but seeing DRG choke AGAIN with a huge title on the line is, shall we say, "off-putting". i think whoever said mkp passed on the curse is right.

We'll if the curse is real this Saturday!

But Genius looks to be good form for once since the beta, and he seems to have DRG's number from what we saw in the group stages.

[mkawa]

yah they're longtime practice partners, and zvp is historically drg's worst matchup. i think drg's going to get denied again. the kong line will live on.

[demik]

Jeez.  Can't even ask a question in the Group Buys any more without being banned.

I'm sorry ripster, I've been mean for no real reason.

Are we talking about some sort of video game contests here? My geekdom does not raise to that level.

[demik]

New price tiers

750 pcs******** $0.45 / each

[demik]

[Tennobanzai]

New price tiers

750 pcs******** $0.45 / each

Damn that would probably be a GH record if we could hit 1k

[tsangan]

Should price them the old iMav pricing and then all proceeds to GH

[RColinTaylor]

Damn that would probably be a GH record if we could hit 1k

Novelty buy had two keys at the 1500ct price.
