^ He didn't say that he will switch over for good, just for a while which ties in with his revised strategy of wanting to wait a bit longer in between sales to be able to offer more units so that less people end up on the outside, looking in.

Another point, you are aware that from the last couple of weeks onward, a proxy bidder can only proxy for one person per proxy post, right? You can still purchase multiple units if you so wish, but you must pay and distribute to those friends on your own. Tall order since you're in Australia, unless those friends also happen to be in Australia.

Or, if they're all smart, they pool their money on one PP and have them shipped somewhere in the US. As long as it's one PayPal and one address it's cool.

Yes sir, well aware. @lozdesign7 doesn't live far from me, so I will drop that one off. @XtianAus is interstate so I will mail his. :)
 
I heard something about a burst of a massive Solar flare destined to hit the Southern hemisphere at 3:00 PM EDT on Friday Sept 22nd. It may cause some serious havoc with the Interwebs from Down Under. #imjustthinking ;)

What happened to this?


I didn't get in on the pre-order because of reading that and thinking I will just buy them on the Friday sales. I also don't like paying up front in full, so it made sense to just wait for the sale(s).

I really hope I don't have to wait until all the pre-orders are done before I can get one..

(FYI, I'm proxying this weeks sale for two friends)

I really hope it stays 50% of the knives made go to pre orders and 50% for Friday sales...!!!!

It won't be 50:50 because there are about 100 knives pre-ordered and only 160 blades in process. I should have stopped the pre-order sooner. But I didn't.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(I do have material for another 300 on order now, though it won't arrive and yield work for a few more months)

I guess I should have said "I figure probably about half and half, over all, I guess, if I think about it"

That was directed to the pre-order people, and I wanted there to be the expectation there that half of the orders wouldn't be going to them, because some of the knives will be sold outside of that preorder before all of the preorder is satisfied and that could rub some pre-paying people the wrong way if expectations aren't managed. But the reality is I intend to service the people who have paid up front as a higher priority. There will be other sales, but it is my intention bias the shipping to the people who have placed an advance order. That way, when something inevitably comes up (which always happens) I haven't left hanging the people I have obligations to. As a general rule, if I'm holding your money, you're the higher priority.

I'm sorry, truly I am. I wish I could make everybody happy all of the time, and I assure you I loose sleep trying, but ultimately I have to prioritize and the people on the list with money in my bank account are the higher priority and will get a larger percentage of the inventory until the pre-order is satisfied.

Please understand I want everybody to get what they need and I have material on order to produce more and I intended to make enough for everyone as soon as I can. I genuinely appreciate everybody's interest in our work and we will strive to meet your expectations.
 
^^ will you be offering a second pre-order for the second batch of 300 HDFK (NASK)? Or will that just be done as larger batches on Friday sales?

tl;dr You should go back and read it.

No need. Bob owns Australia and therefore he owns everything in it by definition. So basically Bob is getting in on Friday sales action. You are kinda a proxy.

I'm currently negotiating with him on trading my Osage fighters for a western Province I cannot name at this time.

Edit:

This is going to sound bad at first thought. Being owned by someone, kinda being a slave?!?

But hey, it's not all bad. The government owes the productivity created with your time and energy to another party. And not just yours. Everyone else's too. And they owe so much, you and everyone else working couldn't possibly repay it before you die of old age. So they are gonna need the production of your unborn children, and everyone else's too. They will come enforce it's collection should you decide not to pay it and resist thier attempts to force you to do so literally, with execution. So there is some solace that you are not alone and you can't do anything about it.

But once Bob's team appointed to clone Nathan is successful there is going to be a dagger made for each citizen and an official decree will making owning double edged knives legal again.

So really this is the best possible thing that could happen to you.

That's preposterous. A single man couldn't own all of Australia. To my knowledge he only owns Western Australia, the Northern Territory, South Australia, "Queensland" (whatever that is), New South Wales and "Victoria". For example, I don't see "The Outback" listed among his holdings. He is just a man after all...

Hmmmmm. I can't argue against so much logic.

I understand. Thanks for writing this out and explaining it all, I appreciate it :)

I'm happy to be a little more patient if it comes down to that, no worries!

Hey cherry pie, he didn't say he looses [sic - loses] sleep as if he has a sleeping disorder, but had said, "losing sleep trying"... The operative word is "trying" which means he sacrifices his sleep in order to produce more knives.

The rest of your sentence is factual and no correction was needed :P
