Is it just me or if after 45 days from payment it is common to get ill (end up at a hospital) and have a family emergency (never explained) with no evidence, and disappear for 2-3 months? Of course the only way to contact them after they get ill is when legal action is taken, then miraculously they appear to be fine.
I was thinking about running a GB but I don't want to know what will happen to me..

I'm sure something terrible will happen to you. Like it has me.

Just think how much worse that tooth might have been though if you'd decided to run a key cap group buy on your own......:eek:
That's how these things work, brah. We know this by now. >__>Is it just me or if after 45 days from payment it is common to get ill (end up at a hospital) and have a family emergency (never explained) with no evidence, and disappear for 2-3 months?

It starts with cavity, a cavity that took 2 months to fill... and during those 2 months you disappear off the face of the earth, because you know no one has internet at the hospital, and especially a mobile phone?! blasphemy. Oh, I lied. The phone does have internet, you can only chat on skype and reddit on it, but of course you can't talk to anyone related to the GB
I started my small Rad Hard group buy, which is merely an add on to another group buy about that long ago, and last Monday I found out I need a hip replacement. Theory confirmed!!
Engicoder's corollary to the Geekhack Group Buy Infirmity Theorem: The magnitude of the infirmity is inversely proportional to that of the group buy.
This is the same thing with EVERY business..
They got their best girls out front.. Then when you pay the fees and walk through the door.. Well not so awesome..
now with no-one replying in the lzgh GB anymore cept me for the last few replies... feels like im one of a few people left a little sour...
never usually had an issue with GB's - apart from how long some took (but nonetheless still came in the post eventually)
pick your GB's.
harder than picking your partner.

Has something happened recently that I'm not aware of?
In all seriousness though things do happen. I was lucky to have some very patient people involved in some trades recently, broke two fingers and twisted an ankle over the period of just over a month. Made getting to the post office very difficult but they were all very patient and let me take my time.

6+ months is a necro, you get the warning and everything when posting.
I didn't know we had necro police now. And I posted in 2 older threads today, 2....geez, this place isn't even worth coming to anymore. Bunch of jerks.
A better question is why do so many people have a problem with adding to an old thread?
