Thats sweet but I promised myself I would never buy one after going through a few times of this it's just to frustrating. I so do not understand not simply having a waiting list plus the site makes no
sense and half the time I cant even figure out where I am supposed to be looking..just done.
glad others are happy w/the company/supplier . But not for me.
I'm sorry you feel that way too Kenzi. I tried to help with the info I gave here and on my response to your question on my blog and email, and I'm sorry it didn't help you, but like I said, there is some checking back to this thread to keep updated on when the tipped off newsletter is coming, when the sale will be, etc. Bert keeps us updated quite frequently. He does an excellent job of making these and sharing them with all of us. Like Davelog said, handcrafted items = limited. These are all handmade pieces of functional art. I'm grateful that he uses his talents/skills to make these available to all of us. It takes us far less time and effort to check the thread every so often and buy them than it does for him to make each one, photograph them, update the website for purchasing, send them all out, etc. Yes, it still takes us some effort, but if you really want something isn't it worth a little effort? With a waiting list you get people who can't buy right now, who get skipped over because they haven't check their messages in a while, who don't want what's available at the moment, long wait times for new people, and it just gets to be a bigger hassle to keep track of it all. The way Bert does it works fine. It gives everyone a chance to get one at every sale, whether it be someone that just found this thread that day or someone who's been around a while. Would you really be happy to find something you really want and then get put on a waiting list that says you'll be waiting at least 6 months? I sure wouldn't, but I've seen it done that way. I would much rather be able to get in on a current sale.
Bert, THANK YOU for everything you do for us. I'm very happy with every Trippy Tip I have bought! And you can expect me to hang out here and buy more, probably many more LOL
If you want something nice, you have to work for it sometimes and not even too hard on occasion. It's not gonna help anyone to storm off and have a fit about it, especially when some members have been so gracious to offer assistance in obtaining a tip... Yea, I was that guy and I said it
