Title: GH60 Hardware in California
Post by: samwisekoi on Wed, 06 January 2016, 16:26:31

Greetings from rainy California!

I've been away from GH for a while, but last fall I agreed to do some bulk transshipment of the GH60 components formerly in Texas.  Those components -- many large boxes of those components -- arrived at my office late last week.

My plan is to do an unboxing and an immediate physical inventory, and to publish the results of that inventory here.  Then I understand the plan is for me to split the goods into a few smaller bulk shipments and send them along for further distribution down the pyramid.

Now, I have been waiting as long as anyone else for this stuff, and I assume I am about to be assaulted by special requests and demands for information.

I am going to let all of the special requests pile up here until I get a good inventory done and published.

I've shipped two large group buys from here, and know what I am doing.  And one of the most important learnings from the past is that careful counting counts.  So that is first.  I will likely post some photos here and/or on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/BANy1z7ppdl/?taken-by=samwisekoi) as I go through that process.

Then, I will plan and publish my next steps.

FYI, my company's lobby is now full of boxes of GH60 material.  This will keep me motivated to get it the heck out of here ASAP.

Thanks and best regards to all,

 - Ron | samwisekoi

Thanks Ron.  I know everyone is anxious and the steps you're planning will help alleviate that anxiety tremendously.

I know it's also a huge project to undertake with a fair amount of work, so I have to say I am very grateful that you're taking this on.

All I ask is dependable people be used  going forward as it would be a shame to stop the momentum and have the buy stagnate again.

Any chance we can get an update?

I'm stoked things are finally moving, but slightly worried because it's gone dark again.

Quoting from the GH group buy thread:

I haven't heard from samwisekoi yet. I feel it's my fault this time, I didn't have much time lately. I'll drop him an email later.

just to be clear for the new comers, neither samwisekoi, bunnylake or I are responsible for this situation, we are just trying to rescue a group buy that was thought long dead.

I'm posting updates over in the GH60 master thread now.
