hahah, no, this one - http://deskthority.net/wiki/R5_leftovers

7bit added all the red blanks under the "grabbag" section, not sure we expect any more additions?

Yes, I will add more grab bag stuff when I find the time.

The bot holds your order back, if he thinks you might order more. This is based on what you already ordered.


If I ever sell the bot-software to Amazon, you will not get your books, DVDs etc before your order looks complete or is large enough, to be shipped.

Your logic is floored, if all my R5 caps were here I would be so overcome with the wonderfulness I would be ordering lots more leftovers and some Round5a for another board

I just settled with paypal to evilcamels, so no more excuses - ship my stuff

I think they already moved to your model with £20 minimum in the UK for super-saver, on the up side I am (a) not buying needless stuff as it makes me stop and think (b) finding many items cheaper on Amazon.de with £/€ conversion

I got my camera from amazon.fr way cheaper (for me even cheaper than for any French customer because of the lower VAT) and some DVDs sell cheaper from amazon.co.uk, but are shipped from Germany.

Amazon: not evil. Nope. No, no evil here. No sir! Move along now. I'm afraid we must insist.

amazon = ebay

eBay = flea market

It's an expensive flea market though with tons of rules.

But Amazon is something different, like a department store (from the only existing store chain) vs. ebay, a flea market run by the Mafia.

The Mafia has honour. You know, the kind where you get a bullet in the brain to help steer you on the right path. They're educators, and gentleman. And anyone who says otherwise is waking up in a furnace!!!

eBay and Amazon are power hungry and immortal corporations. They each own a perfect monopoly on lazy people's minds. They've won the culture. Kleenex. Coke. Amazon. eBay. Accept no substitute. Because they won't exist. Either killed, or acquired.

Of course, this is what people want. People are the real problem. The mob understands this better than any of us…

The only "honor" these companies have is to maximize profit and protect themselves. That's google's current alphabet move the way I understand it.

I honestly contempt Google even more than eBay and Amazon. Those two are merely despicable scumbags. People, including its own mollycoddled engineers, don't even realise that Google is too!

Google is beyond comparison, in a bad way. And yes I do use they're products. Occasionally.

question. i dont understand how to order something from both 5a and 5 leftover

"If you want combined shipping with Round 5 leftovers, just order the HONEYB kit, be sending a pm to [7bot]:
HONEYB"

can someone help clarify this?

I too had an issue with paying for Round5 leftovers with Round 5A purchased. The bot took my Round5A order but excluded the purchase for Round5.

It means that if you order r5 with R5a all stuff will be shipped when R5a ships

I wonder what time 7bit will post the lucky lottery winners for the day.

First: you just order stuff from both Rounds.

Then: Do you want your Round 5 leftovers stuff soon and your Round 5a stuff whenever it's done (far future)? And pay for two shipments? That would be the default. Or do you want them combined in one shipment when Round 5a is done? If so, send the command "HONEYB" to the bot.

Google conversation: Google did some great things where they were far more innovative than the rest of the planet, like their search engine that is still without competitor a decade later. Search, Maps, GMail, Translator, News, even Docs and, to some extent, Android -- these are all very useful innovations. If you are an advertiser, you might even think of Google Ads as a very innovative and useful idea. They are an innovation-driven company if there ever was one, and I do like that about them. Sure, they do have some dark sides like their missing inhibitions to collect the most private data and keep them forever, and they have become far too dominant, but they don't have a track record of abusing their user's data, and I have quite some respect for them and their innovative spirit.

eBay is totally different. They're a monopolist of the bad old kind, just living by their market dominance. They aren't innovative, they are far too expensive, there's hardly anything likable there. Pretty much like the Microsoft of the 90's and 00's.

Amazon has some pretty despicable practices, but they are where they are because (and as long as) they are better than their competition from a customer view. And they are.

7bit, a few of us were missing this key from our HONEY/STANDARD kits. Do you know what happened?

i figured it out. just put in my order!

[MISSING KEY NOT PICTURED BECAUSE IT IS NOT THERE]

I had forgotten to put it in your bag?


Soemtimes it happened that I forgot to reach into some pocket, so the key inside it is missing.

Just let me know what is missing and I send one.

@Halvar:
I've packed the Surprisebox and will finally ship it tomorrow.

question. is there suppose to be a notification of sorts after submitting an order?

You should get an email but that can take a while until you receive it.

I usually receive an invoice e-mail within 24 hours of sending the order message to 7bot.

Is there something we should do to indicate that we're not going to order anymore leftovers? I've definitely added enough times that it would be reasonable for you to assume I was going to add more...
