They should be hanged, seriously. Don't go buy things you don't need only because you are a greedy bastard and want to make a profit :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

It should be sixty who made profit off of it, since he is dealing with everything...not some random people :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Certain geekhackers consider profiteering a smart thing.

While I am not a fan of this behavior. Its more chances to snag a set.

For the sake of the sanity of everyone interested and our poor server, we will do this by RANDOM DRAW. More details later on.

Original plan was to not do it by random draw, but that was before everyone went absolutely insane. I had no idea it would cause this much interest :o

They are the experimental sets. I will surely have at least some of those left. Btw, it is not only 1-4 like shown in the picture. It actually is the entire row :)

Sixty, the interest is very simple:

a) R4 has goon to hell. Too many possibilities made everything too complicated and too expensive.
b) Red on white is not a very common colour combination
c) Price was right
d) You were the organiser
e) There ain't much 2-shots group-buy with the same "specs"

So, there you have it. And I believe that random draw is the best way to make it possible, as it gives the same chances to anybody, working or not (lets be honest...we have too many campers banging their F5 like crazy :D ).

Did I say I'm in? ;D

>implying there is a list yet
As I said, additional details will follow. Webwit will probably throw up some script to do the draw, which will probably be a in a dedicated topic. But at first we will have to see IF any sets are actually left over.

There will be a long enough notice before the actual draw, so you should not miss it. No worries.
