I might be in the minority, but as much as I get frustrated trying to get a donut, I do believe it's part of the fun...if you want to call it that. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for circumventing the hoards of people who snap them up faster than hot dogs at at NASCAR race :)

True but some people become so frustrated that it makes some tension in the thread? Then the hair pulling, until they just give up entirely on their interest in a donut.... Then there is the possibility that some are using scripts to grab the most sought after of the donuts! Which is already creating an unfair situation.

So I figured why not give people a glimmer of hope that can't be killed lol.... It's just an idea though and likely something Bert will never even see so it's no biggie lol

I like trippy war! even if I'm not after anything I love watching the chaos unfold :laugh:

LoL I've been frustrated enough to contemplate smashing my computer! I took a couple deep breaths and walked away for a bit.

I don't like tension either, and I really hope everyone can get one :)

SO those alarms I set last night didn't wake me up. Luckily they didn't wake the baby up either but I still missed the sale by a half hour. Made it alllll the way to 12:30 PST and pfft. Asleep.

Did anybody happen to pick up any of these four that they are willing to part with? Especially the two light blues cause those would like perfect on the setup I'm holding right now.

Kami, this is true, however it is also a business as well, if Bert could sell 2 million Trippys believe me he would like to I'm sure,, if he could find a way, plus it would be nice if everyone in the entire vaping community could enjoy the Trippy they wanted..... I have also stated many of times what you just did,,,,, no one or two Artist will ever be able to get there great work to everyone,,,, but if there is a way to mass produce these it would be super for Berts success in his business too,, it's a double edged sword in a way.:)

I really would not like either............I was just being a smart alec.......cause' it's how I'm wired.

The Trippy Tip is not a mass manufactured piece........it's created by an artist...........it's a creative passion that drives the process...not the number of pieces. Each is unique, has their own character, brought to life by the artist.....dependent upon their mood....their temperament at the time it was blown..........

If the artist is "forced" to create the same type of tip ...over and over........well it's not art and might as well turn in the artist card. Tips would wind up like Che**y Vapes........same ol....same ol

I would like the process to remain unchanged and "sporting".........we all win...........unique tips, challenging to obtain :)

That's a beautiful post and my sentiments as well. View each tip from a truly artistic standpoint and you'll view all your Trippy's as first choices.....:toast:

I tried to stay awake. I even did a bunch of little projects to stay up. I even formatted the Wii's external HDD and re-copied over all the Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother's among tons of other stuff. Changed the Wii Menu to Black and Blue. Started trying to make a refresh macro for all three tabs of the browser I was using.

All to no avail, with only a half hour left to stay up I just passed out with the laptop and energy drink next to me, and alarms trying to "tip me off" that the sale was starting. :cry:

I hate myself for asking, but whens the next sale?

Dunno *shrugs*.... Could be tonight, as he does have the inventory but we won't know until he gives the word :)

Friday nights always make good sale nights, but he may want to take a break for a while after staying up nearly all night for the past few sales lol

We'll probably know for certain by the time he gets off work :)

i really liked the late night sale alot and really liked the tips being listed all at once. heck, i could actually use the compare button and look the tips over up close before buying. with more than 10 listed i felt i had a much better chance being slow and all,lol.
the main shoutout though goes to our trippy girls for helping us guys out. you made bill and my night a great one!!!
and then the huggy bear of tips..bert... the night before i missed on the tip of a lifetime but yet he put up several more tips of a lifetime last night. bert has always put out the best tip in the business but he is beginning to out do himself
