Woot! The Races were delivered to iMav a few minutes ago!

You sure? I heard R00TW0RM's mom picked it up.

Holy fuck you're annoying. How butthurt are you that you have to constantly bash geekhack and at the same time you actively evade the ban and join groupbuys?

[Reptile]

Lol

He will let you know how he feels in about an hour.

Then when you reply, wait another hour for his reply.

I can only imagine how mad this makes him

^ double lol

[metafour]

It seems to me he's been getting around the 1 post per hour limit by just editing his posts. I could be wrong but there is some thread where that seems to be the case.

Here it is:

It's a serious job.

Could you rephrase the question???

[IvanIvanovich]

For those that were taking part in my Russian Cherry replica set or Poker suit R#3 set buys, there are threads up here at DT for those in the marketplace.
Thanks.

Thanks for the laugh:)

I'm looking for updates for CC&G and Oneproduct's aluminum poker cases. Guys?

Regarding the aluminum cases, oneproduct hasn't received them from the anodizing/finishing place yet. They have previously given completion dates that they have not fulfilled. I'm actually getting a bit nervous about this coming to a close at this point. At the second missed deadline I would have called them on it. One of the most recent episodes had them saying they would be done the following day and they weren't. If they expected to have them done the next day either they were close to being finished and thus there shouldn't have been much of a delay past the given day or they were dishonest and gave a time frame that was impossible for them to meet. Either way they've been incredibly unprofessional about the whole job.

Or there was a slight miscommunication and they meant that they would be done (on their end, as in milled) and ready for the next company or process.

The cases were already made and delivered to this company only to be brushed or polished and then anodized. My understanding is that this was going to be done on-site.

IIRC, there was a total of 24 cases and they've had them since around mid May.

I'm looking for updates for CC&G

I sent a PM to tsangan, which he read, and didn't bother to reply. The last I heard was he was waiting on the keys SP forgot to include, or needed to fix. I just wanted an ETA on that. Guess that was asking too much. I am not impatient by any means, but if you are going to run a group buy, at least have the courtesy to provide updates on a regular basis.

[mkawa]

tsangan's still waiting on sp to deliver the fixed caps.

oneproduct's still waiting for the finishing company to deliver on a single promise they've ever made. i'm going to ping him and get him to run down to the finisher's and sit there until they either give him the un or half-finished cases at no charge or give him completed parts

[hashbaz]

If there was something new to say, tsangan would have said it. No update means no news.

Considering the circumstances, and the displacement of GH users to DT, I think it would be appropriate to simply re-iterate the current status here, in case some might have missed it on GH. I don't think that is asking too much.

[emptythecache]

That's all I was looking for too, just sort of assessing casualties as it were. Making sure all the group buys I'm part of are still on track and their organizers are still around. I knew the answer wouldn't be "they are both done, look for them in the mail tomorrow!"

Did you at least get the rest of your CC&G keys?

[oneproduct]

So I got a call from the anodizing place, but sadly it was something somewhat depressing rather than them telling me that it's done. Someone called to ask me what company I worked for at which point I had to remind them that I'm just an individual, not a company. That leads me to think that they are just getting the order started (unless they are getting the bill ready?), which I guess is better than nothing, but which completely baffles me since they had already shown me a polished one so long ago. I've got class from 11:45am to 11pm today but tomorrow I'm going to go visit them in person to cause some ruckus.

[mkawa]

thanks oneproduct. these guys are just screwing around with you because they don't think there will be any repercussions. go there, speak succinctly and clearly, but strongly that you trusted them with this job, they have let you down and that you want your parts done or not.

[metafour]

I agree. When you go down there be blunt but professional.

[MagicMeatball]

Did you at least get the rest of your CC&G keys?

Nope.

Well that sucks. Didn't you ask for them to be shipped anyway because you were okay with them? And despite him saying none would ship until the replacements were received he has shipped some to certain people?

[mkawa]

he shipped a few sets off to satisfy paypal, but it was not a general offer he made to people in the gb.
