Because of the big different time zone, I don't really know how many hours to go. Can you tell me?

You can thank the madness that is DST for that. No one knows wtf to use.

Damn this guy (George Vernon Hudson) for proposing the idea of DST!

yeah, i can't believe the server didn't crash! ;P Thanks for the caps cc, and thanks for the server upgrade iMav!

Wildcard · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 08 June 2012, 14:03:14 »

YAY, dibs sale has begun, and iMav the site is running smoothly!

rainb1ood · « **Reply #15 on:** Fri, 08 June 2012, 14:05:00 »

Were there any preview for the colors?

WRXChris · « **Reply #16 on:** Fri, 08 June 2012, 14:09:14 »

no preview, just have to hope you like the shade & be prepared to trade if you don't! (though that's not a bad idea for the future, wink wink!)

Tennobanzai · « **Reply #17 on:** Fri, 08 June 2012, 14:10:04 »

Cool it didn't crash but this is a small sale compared to the one a few months ago

You don't know that for sure! My guess is that this sale had 2/3 the number of people of the last one, and my reasoning is he had x amount of caps prepared for the last sale, and had to make 2 future sale lists, it would be reasonable to assume that all 3 sales had a similar x (amount of caps). So if 1/3 of the people hammering the site got their caps in the first sale, 2/3 of them were left for the dibs sales, and because of the hardware update he combined them and it appears to have gone off without a hitch.

As far as the new octopink color, ClickClack said it has a really teeny shift of purple in it. I like pink, but I do want to see photos of the new colors as well. I'm hoping the orange goes well with my new board.

I think that's because it's not open to everyone.

Wildcard · « **Reply #21 on:** Fri, 08 June 2012, 14:21:45 »

If anyone is unhappy with their colors, I know there are always people open to trade/buy them. Myself included...

I'm sure that's part of it, but as iMav said, with the new site hardware he didn't expect the site to fall over any time soon. However, I do wonder how many people were invited to the PB4 and PB5 Dibs sale.

Yeah it's a difficult thing to quantify to be sure. On one hand I got more orders in under 1 minute than ever before. On the other hand however I am sure not as many people are checking it out this time because indeed it's a closed sale.
I would still say though in my opinion the hardware seems to be handling things fine, at least from my vantage point.

Regarding the 2/3rds thing WRXChris mentioned,
That's a very rational way to look and it seems reasonable, fortunately/unfortunately it's a good bit off. Each Dibs groups (4 & 5) were bigger than any singular sale I have done previously.

K, back to staring up at the mountain... this is going to be brutal.
LoL =P

Hey clickclack, sorry for the triple message. I had to be at work at the time of the sale so I had my father hit the submit button. I think he may have gotten confused...

Oh great. I sent my order to clack factory instead of ClickClack. Did I just hose myself?

And, yes, I got it in within the first 15min. I hope that was soon enough. I may have misordered. I don't work well under pressure. :-(

I sure hope not, that would explain why I haven't been able to get any skulls these past few months.

ClackFactory is the correct user ID to PM for these sales

Thanks for the verification dangwang.
Is it still Prayer Time, or if I haven't received a response does that mean my order failed?

I got a pm back. Saying x and z was out. So sent back more options, and am awaiting a second reply. Was a 5am wake up here in Sydney on a public holiday no less.

I'm just curious, what time did you get your PM in?

Cool more people who will mark these up to 100+ dollars in the classifieds got to buy more CC's. Consider me jelly and grumpy.

Such is life. I sort-of agree that it's not cool how rare and expensive these get, but since they are so impossible to get for what I consider a decent price, I get by by ignoring them.

Skulls are cool, but It doesn't fit in with my current theme, unless I got a bunch of other skulls to match, and I really can't be bothered to decorate.

Phagocytosis · « **Reply #40 on:** Sat, 09 June 2012, 01:56:15 »

Has anyone received a quote yet? I am still eagerly awaiting mine

clickclack · « **Reply #41 on:** Sat, 09 June 2012, 02:27:43 »

Hey there guys!

Everything seems to be going smoothly, just a bit slow. I'm trying really hard to get everyone what they wanted. So there has been a bunch of emails flying around to get things right.
Because of this I have not been going in order for the quotes. I did however just send out a bunch more a few minutes back. I have many, many more to do but I need to get off this computer and into a soft bed where I can dream about women and pizza!

I will start up again in the morning. Just a heads up though, most of you got what you ordered from what I could tell so far.

-cc =)

If I had gotten in, I could have hired you a pizza face woman whom would have provided you with a splendid time.
