If you have none and want one, a few and want more,or many and sit out so others can enjoy the beauty of Johns work, that is what Lava corps is all about. We are not allowed to give info about sales, answer business related questions and the Boss man is rarely online, he is at the lathe, so, when some feel we are standoffish, it is because we are not allowed to "Hawk his wares" for him. We do lead you to the place to learn and SD has some great videos with easy to understand instructions. All should join in. I have learned there are two unwritten culture laws..............never extort the art (Never sell for profit) and be nice.

    We are an eclectic group that came together through a common interest and we stick together for the friendships we've procured.

    Wow - last night was something else! I waited up til 2am but fell asleep on my PC, lol!

    This was my 3rd sale of having my PM sent within 1 minute of announcement, and Im still tankless. I will not give up.

    Has the Brimstone fiasco been sorted out yet? Last I recall, the guy added to the tankless list at the last minute requested the pawn and mfraz got the ming. But then someone at around 1am said he got the ming???

    Congrats to all that scored last night. Nice to see so many new people get tanks. Thanks Lavacorp elite for sitting this one out so new people had a better chance. Very lavacorps of you. I didn't score this time but there is always next time. And I can't wait till next sale. Is it just me or do the tanks get more awesome every sale?

    I usually don't get in this but I would consider that to be a nice gesture.
    You have to admit there was tanks in this sale that some would have died for but agreed to not participate.
    They keep their word as far as I know.
    Wait i missed the meeting. Where was it.
    Besides what's it to you. I have the right to sell to anyone I choose. It's my stuff and I will determine who gets it. That's if I had something to sell.
    I pity Jon for doing this as I know it is a lot of work and very aggravating.
    I work in retail and believe me I understand supply and demand.
    It's fine if you have enough for everybody but if you run out you got a riot on yours hands and you did something underhanded.
    I'll get down off my saopbox now. I got to go to work.
    HAVE A GOOD DAY LAVACORPS( whether you have a tank or not)

    I can confirm this is what happens since it happened to me on my first attempt. I thought I was being so clever having my pm prepared an hour ahead of sale time. Turns out it was not so clever after all, lol. I had to recompose my pm after the sale had already started which delayed things with catastrophic results, lol.

    Today I guess I have what you would call a "lava hangover"

    I had a ton of fun last night and now I just feel crappy.

    Just kidding. sort of

    Seriously, very happy for those who got them. To those who didn't (myself included), well get me next time.

    I can say this and at least make myself feel a little better.

    Things are always better when you have to work hard to get them and wait for them.
