Hey you guys. The man has spoken! Let's just aaaallllll respect then process. Cool? We can be civil about this, riiighhht? Let's not go pissing him off, or planting all sorts of crazy ideas in his head. If photo contributors are it, then so be it.
Damn I didn't get one of those. Can I use that one time you used my FK2 pic as an in?The main sale is in two weeks, but I'll do a small one here soon to introduce the pattern.
Due to the small numbers available and what appears to be strong interest, I'm considering making the first little intro sale limited to a small group of people so it isn't a blood bath. I'm thinking perhaps limiting the first micro sale to the people who contributed pictures on the "please post some DEK1 pictures for me to use" thread as a way to both keep the pool of buyers small on the first sale and as a way to show my appreciation for their photography.
Guessing it's "understood" that those that get in on the intro sale should not try to score another one in the bigger sale?
The one thing that hurts on that distribution model is some of us tried three and four (or more) times to score a DEK and couldn’t crack the top 10 while others consistently made the cut and now we’ll lose a chance here too. By the time I got a DEK in hand posting pics was a moot point.

Nice idea Nathan - very fair. Still, leaves me out. No bathing for me until the next sale, 2 Fridays from now. Will be a long stretch. I guess I can stand it
I'm sorry my distribution model isn't ideal, but it's the best I've been able to come up with so far. We're trying.
Oh my God.
.205", but it is skeletonized and has extremely deep severe hollow grinds. It's not heavy View attachment 1438428

Yep. Tried. Failed.

Oh my! My dumb luck! I think that one of my amateur pics had made the cut!
When you say a micro run, do you mean like a few units available to the dozen or so selected attendees? Sad face I will be unavailable for the Friday the 30th sale but I do possess an ungodly amount of charm, copious persuasive powers and unfair abundance of handsomeness! Let me know if any of these count for jacksquat in your book?
