Yeah, I'm just starting to get into Busse -- so far I own a few Scrap Yard 511s and BOSS Jack CGs -- and feel the same way. But I guess a lot of people must enjoy the anticipation/uncertainty, the mad rush to submit orders to get the lowest LE serial numbers once the 'Go' button is posted, and so forth, or Jerry and the gang wouldn't be doing things that way.I've said it before, but I'll go ahead and say it again:
Stop with the teasing and start with the RELEASING!!!

Oh, I completely agree about it being a very savvy marketing/sales strategy, especially given that, like Apple, Busse has build an incredibly devoted following.Jerry knows what he is doing. It is very much like the Apple way of doing things, but slightly more direct.
Apple doesn't say peep, about what's coming down the pipeline. But the rumor sites try and guess thus building anticipation.
By the time the new product is announced it is available for order that day or the next. And boy does it work.
The main reason being, you have not had several months to rationalize the purchase, and mull over the features.
When a rumor of a new product coming out is announced, people start putting money aside for said product.
And there is a feeding frenzy when it is released.
I used to like hitting the f5 button on the busse company store...I havent looked at that website for years. It used to feel like you won a competition when you landed something in your basket.
