Ganzaa confirmation

Just received a notification from Lexi at Busse Combat, that I had scored 2 Infimandu's to match my recently acquired Swatmandu's-WOOOOHOOO!!!
 
I'm in for one BIG little Rat, with red/black G10 :D

FWIW regarding timing: My confirmation email came this morning, and I called quickly to pay. Lexi said the incoming time stamp on her email was 9:46, while it says 9:35 on the copy in my sent folder. So either my internet connection/email server is burnin' beer time (how many can be consumed in 11 minutes?!?), or the system at the Busse shop/office is so completely overwhelmed by the volume that it takes... a while. No complaints (or regrets) from me, I got my Infimandu (Yaaay!), just bacon-wrapped food for thought ;)
 
Thanks for the insight regarding timing. I'm encouraged that confirmations are still going out and holding out hope that I'll get one soon!
 
Well, 3/4 of a loaf. No MOABM, but I did score 2 TG's and an Infimandu. According to Lexi, I would have gotten 1 of maybe 72 MOABM's if they made that many, but she laughed when I asked if I could have one of the 27 if I would sent her some flowers or cash or schnapps or some other swag. My email was at 9:38. Darn sticky-gate.

Glad it worked out partially for you, there are going to be a few TG's in TX. I just got confirmation that I got a black canvas over blue liners.
 
I am still checking my mail every 15 minutes waiting for my confirmation. This waiting is a killer and I do it every Ganza. Is there another one coming? :)
 
Got my email about an hour ago. 1st piece of Infi in bound! InfiDu in black canvas! sent my email at 9:38.
 
Just got email confirmation for one InfiDu in black canvas. Called Lexi right away...

First Ganza score!

Can you say with certainty they are first come first serve? If yes, I retract my statement. If no, it carries equal weight as yours.

Can I say with certainty? No, of course not, as I am not privy to the inner workings of the Shop. But I have been here since 2006, seen many 'Ganzas, and have never heard or seen anything that suggests we should not take Jerry at his word when he says that it is "first come, first serve". IMO, extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof, so, no, your statement does not have equal weight. You are impugning the word of our host here; you should step up with something to back your claim.

Great example of what we try to tell folk after every 'Ganza; the timestamp in your Sent folder has little relationship to the timestamp at Busse's InBox.

Probably post-Blade Show, I reckon.
 
Finally got a confirmation from Lexi, for my first Busse Knife,even though I thought I botched it by forgetting to include my BF user and other info.
 
Got my confirmation this morning and got both knives I requested: TG and RMD. Woot! Lexi sounded busy, so you guys still waiting for a confirm, keep holding on! You could be next!
 
Just got my confirmation. Called Lexi and was told 6 weeks until delivery. The waiting now begins all over. :)
 
I'll got my email yesterday. TG heading my way! I was hoping to get it without the swedge, but was told it's a no go. Still really excited despite my hatred of swedges.
