If a model is discontinued then all people can buy from any GG ventor. But if a model exists and a ventor has already sold all his items to his area then noone can buy from another ventor. Thats what was happening before the sales of nickel GGTS together with the SS version and thats what we have to do again from now on.

The reason that I say this is because a ventor maybe will sell its items in 1 hour. So other sellers cant sell in his area just because he has a good market but limited items. That way I protect my sellers and my customers too.

Thats bad for me because I have to wait more time for GG items to be sold but I dont care about this issues as I never did.

Thanks for the understanding guys. :)

i don't understand how this protects customers and sellers, because it seems that if an item is in production but out of stock with a given seller, then customers in that seller's region should be able to purchase from another seller that has the item in stock and it seems in the best interest of the other seller to sell it. i understand that it would be sold eventually, if not to a customer in another region that day then one in their own region the next day, but it's a sale and the seller is protected for their investment while the customer receives what they were unable to get otherwise. of course i respect your decision and the rules here, but i am curious how it's protecting both customers and sellers.

But does this also apply to spares and such as i can't get some bits i need from Cam but they are in stock with other vendors.
Also if a Brit can get their GG from the USA because its not in stock in the UK he's going to be happy.

I would suggest that rather than not allowing overseas/out of country sales that a certain time is allowed to pass before the vendor can proceed with outside sales this would allow customers in his country to get theirs first and hopefully alow those who missed out to get a chance at owning a GG.
After all if a someone misses out completely they may not ever get a GG and as you all know once you get one your hooked

+1 to this.

Should only be able to sell to another region after a specified amount of time and if your reseller is out of stock with no reasonable amount of time for restocking. For example, Italian reseller is currently the only one with GGTB's. People in the US would like one, but are unable to buy from there and COV is out of stock.

French seller sells only in France. Italian seller sells only in Italy. UK, Greek and australian seller sells worldwide. Thats what we used to do and thats what we will continoue to do clavit:)
Thanks for the clarification, that seems fair.

Is the french GG seller exclusive to french customers, or worldwide?
On the seller-list he shows as exclusively french, but he sold SSGGTS outside France.
Just want to know if i can get Iatty from France if the UK gets sold out too quickly?

ok guys, I will tell you my thoughts.

First of all the system was like this before 2-3 months. I let other sellers to sell outside their areas because they had to sell a discontinoued item like nickel GGTS. An item like this that will not produced again in future is not a problem for the other sellers that were out of stock. But some friends were asking me about items that were sold out on their country so I desided to give them the oportunity to buy from somewhere else. But this mustnt go on because:

1. protecting sellers: if a seller knows that he can sell worldwide if units disapear from other places then he will ask me for e.g. 100 units when he really needs 50. That way I will not send the apropriate pieces to the seller that he really needs 100 units.

2. protecting buyers: If e.g. 100 units are made for EU then I have to satisfy EU customers with 100 units. But if USA customers come to game because their seller has no more units to send them , then EU customers will not get satisfied for sure. Same will happen if EU customers come to game on the USA market.

If I was a factory with the ability to make 10.000 per month I wouldnt care but I care now because I want all people to have the same oportunities on GG sales. For example, I am sure that if I send all the units to Bruce he will sell them easy. But the point for me is not to sell but to sell equally.
