I have an idea, not sure if you could do it.
If you have a number set, for example 1000 GGTS, take orders until you reach 1000, then they go to production.
If 1000 take 2 months to produce the wait time would be: Once goal of 1000 is met +2 months.
A counter showing how many have been ordered could be used by you and customers. People wanting to be 100% sure they get one would order right at the beginning. People who need to save a bit more or don't want their funds tied up as long could risk it and try to get in on tail end of batch.
For each item offered you could list the Magic Number for production to begin and the length of time production takes. I don't know the demand for the differrent items or the quantity where a price break occurs but I'm sure you could figure both out pretty easily.
It wouldn't take much communication on your end after it starts, as long as the production time numbers are solid and the order numbers are kept up to date everybody could see at a glance where things stand.

Below is the latest post from the UK site:

Ok we may have to wait 30 days BUT "At least we all know"

Just hope they are SS and not brass.
Friday July 27

Dear customers, the latest spare parts shipment is now sheduled for arrival on Monday so we will be making stock available from Tuesday July 31st at 10pm BST - please check back here for any variation on this.

There will be many Penelope ceramics, more wire, and also a limited number of Penelope's - please allow 1-2 days extra for processing time on these. An update on the exact timing for the upcoming GGTS shipment will be announced here in the next few days.

Regarding the GGTB SS tubing I can now confirm regrettably there has been a problem in manufacturing and we will not be able to supply these between 10-30 days. Additionally they may be brass rather than stainless steel. Apologies to those who have pre-orders, we will be contacting you shortly via emaiil regarding this.


I know its not going to solve the production issues, but as I said before Communication is key.

I am trying to think on all levels Manni. I have to be helpful, I have to make new things, old things, I have to keep myself and you happy all the time. Its an all day race for me and I hope that you are satisfied:)

You made me and lots of other people happy, for sure. I really believe that this kind of ordering will make more people happy and hopefully gives you more time for your family and your hobby! :)

As for the first issue, I will keep preorder thread open for at least one week. At the same time I will start making what all of you want, so no delays.

Second issue: I will give a selling date that will be accurate, so no complains.

I hope preorders will work as I think they will work ob

thanks buddy:)


ps....... I will always make some more units for people that will be late to preorders

that is a very nice response. I can see why people like you and your devices. Now I just gotta get my hands on one. :)

I like the preorder idea for the complete GGTS/Ody/Penny and so on.
Will we also have to preorder spares?
Not all of us are collectors that have multiples of everything. I only have the GG products that i use, so if something breaks or gets lost i would hate having to wait several months for a preorder of buttons/ceramics/whatever.

Great to hear because I am really depressed I missed the sale. Thanks Imeo my friend.

I bought one and would be willing to go on the waiting list as I am just going to put it in a drawer until I can get an Ody. I would rather it go to someone that really desires it. Sell ot to you for retail as I hate scalpers. Just have the additional shipping and paypal fees or maybe Bruce can cancel my order and sell to you. You seem to really want one. PM me if interested.

i see your point Ez, sorry for the misunderstooding:)
I'm not talking your prices Imeo. I think they are too cheap.

I'm talking about re-seller prices. For instance people now can get maybe 400 dollars on the classifieds. When there are more of them around or people know they can get one if they just wait because they are on a list they will be less willing to pay 400 used.

I dont really care about my sellers or myself Dam. My first concern is you. Me and my sellers know that GG demands a lot of work and we both accept it. But customers have to have what they want to have. I am very glad that you are thinking of me and my sellers but its not nessesary:)
Imeo, I second that.

I don't know if Vassili and the other resellers are really happy with this procedure because of the additional work :glare:

And I'm also looking forward for your new ideas and of course for my both requested Proteus.

Hephaistos was not a politician like Zeus, he was a real manufacturer tako!!
that's why i, all of us, we love golden greek, in addition to your laudable courtesy to customers

.. "Hephaestus (in greek, Attic: Ἥφαιστος, Hephaistos) in greek mythology is the god of fire, technology, engineering, sculpture and metalwork.
He was worshiped in all the cities of Greece they were in crafts, but especially in Athens. In the Iliad, Homer tells how Hephaestus was with great strength in the muscles of the arms and shoulders, so everything he did was of unparalleled perfection."
