i'm so sad but i understand you imeo
even against the other members's opinion, but i believe you are right

I see that Imeo hasn't responded to the replies (and cries) to keep the tubes and sell them. Maybe Imeo hasn't been around yet to see these replies yet.
Imeo said he will not sell the tubes because they are in bad shape and he wants to keep the GG brand quality up. I think this is a major weight on Imeo's shoulders. He is willing to throw away 2500 Euro's worth of tubes to keep the GG name in good standing, and that isn't cheap.
Even if he sold all the tubes at 30 Euro's, he still would not make his money back. I can understand the GG vapors wanting this because it would be collectable, and at 30 EU it would be cheap.
Look at the bigger picture. Let's say that these tubes are sold. 'Buyer 1' buys one of these and later on decides to sell it. They may say in an ad that these are rare...only 60 were made. 'Buyer 2' doesn't know about GG brand but see's Buyer 1's ad. Buyer 2, buys the tube from Buyer 1 and they realize it's of poor quality, regardless of how much Buyer 1 puts in time and effort to shine it and make it look nice. Buyers 2 gets the tube and forms an opinion that GG brand is not of good quality. Is this what we want?
This is only my opinion, and whatever Imeo wants to do is up to him. Kindest Regards.
I do not know what this is about and how those tubes will look like in reality.
But one of those 60 pcs tubes will be my!
Just looked the photos more closely. Looks like they are just imperfection in finish. I would definitely buy one and can see having tons of fun with it. I am going to buy another one from later batch anyway, but I really want to get this one as well.
I totally understand how you don't want to release product that aren't at "GG" quality. But you have been upfront and discussed in full detail (with picture) and wanted them thrown away. WE are the ones who wants them. So, I don't think you will have problem with people mistaking these for finished product.
