I don't need to prove any point. What happened is facts. I am just pointing them out. I have been running a very large, long, and complicated group buy for Phantom, and I sold acrylic cases that I made myself. My day job also include online service performance. My perspective certainly is not limited.
Anyhow, if how you do your group buy floats your boat, that is all that matters. Hope your next sale works better.
You're right, you don't, and I never asked you to.
What is troubling me is that your responses seem to be a little bit antagonistic by misstating points (and for what reason? If I misread them I apologize) AND emphasising a slight bias towards what seem on the verge of being non sequiturs in order to make points based on very, very, very few facts. The only fact(s) openly available is that the site was down for about two hours (though precise reason is unknown), upset some people, and my sale worked despite that, and I have offered future sales to most of those who missed out. My point is that you don't make my keys, you don't make my equipment, you don't know the numbers for anything on anyside of the equation, you don't have EK as your distributor, you are speaking for a great many people that do not share your opinion, and are reacting strongly to what amounts to a blip on the radar (which at best was a sheer accident, and we learned from it already).
That is what I mean't by "limited perspective", I have no doubt that you handle items on a larger and more impressive and perhaps efficient scale than I (but... that might not be saying much, LoL). I should probably hire you, but I'm afraid the pay would be awful and gnomes kinda smell funny, and you would have to be quite tolerant of them and not point out their shortcomings (get it?). I'm small, insignificant, and vulnerable, these things play a part in how I direct my pursuits.
I understand your frustration and I am very grateful for your appreciation of my keys and your interest in wanting to help. I will be changing some of my practices and implementing certain things sooner than I was prepared for.
And regarding your last part again-
The sale worked! K, I think I'm a broken record now. The only thing better next time would be that GH does not go down again during it. And I don't believe that it will. I WILL DO EVERYTHING I POSSIBLY CAN TO ENSURE IT! There will be some sacrifices and trade offs but I will do my best to make sure they remain more on my side of the equation.
I guess I'm draggin this out, probably due to my very strong personal connection to all this since I have poured every ounce of possible effort into it that I could. (and i'm a bit loopy from lack of sleep)
In the end this constitutes only a blip. An accidental, unfortunate, coincidental, rare, unexpected, fixable, blip.
tl;dr-ad nauseum
