You, my friend, are the corps! The corps is not a clique or people who own a lotta tanks, or a sorority/fraternity with hazing

the corps is a family of friends that care about each other and take care of each other and happen to have a shared respect for Johns work and love to vape with his tanks. If you have none and want one, a few and want more,or many and sit out so others can enjoy the beauty of Johns work, that is what Lava corps is all about. We are not allowed to give info about sales, answer business related questions and the Boss man is rarely online, he is at the lathe, so, when some feel we are standoffish, it is because we are not allowed to "Hawk his wares" for him. We do lead you to the place to learn and SD has some great videos with easy to understand instructions. All should join in. I have learned there are two unwritten culture laws..............never extort the art (Never sell for profit) and be nice.

This has been edited for content, but very nicely said, Bonnie.

We are an eclectic group that came together through a common interest and we stick together for the friendships we've procured.

Wow - last night was something else! I waited up til 2am but fell asleep on my PC, lol!

This was my 3rd sale of having my PM sent within 1 minute of announcement, and Im still tankless. I will not give up.

Has the Brimstone fiasco been sorted out yet? Last I recall, the guy added to the tankless list at the last minute requested the pawn and mfraz got the ming. But then someone at around 1am said he got the ming???

Congrats to all that scored last night. Nice to see so many new people get tanks. Thanks Lavacorp elite for sitting this one out so new people had a better chance. Very lavacorps of you. I didn't score this time but there is always next time. And I can't wait till next sale. Is it just me or do the tanks get more awesome every sale?

I usually don't get in this but I would consider that to be a nice gesture.
You have to admit there was tanks in this sale that some would have died for but agreed to not participate.
They keep their word as far as I know.
Wait i missed the meeting. Where was it.
Besides what's it to you. I have the right to sell to anyone I choose. It's my stuff and I will determine who gets it. That's if I had something to sell.
I pity Jon for doing this as I know it is a lot of work and very aggravating.
I work in retail and believe me I understand supply and demand.
It's fine if you have enough for everybody but if you run out you got a riot on yours hands and you did something underhanded.
I'll get down off my saopbox now. I got to go to work.
HAVE A GOOD DAY LAVACORPS( whether you have a tank or not)
Meetin in "secrecy" to "Organize" sales..... doesnt sound fishy at all to me.

Yup, Jon came in and got that all straightened out.

I think if PM token expires the PM doesn't go through...you get an error message.
I can confirm this is what happens since it happened to me on my first attempt. I thought I was being so clever having my pm prepared an hour ahead of sale time. Turns out it was not so clever after all, lol. I had to recompose my pm after the sale had already started which delayed things with catastrophic results, lol.

Today I guess I have what you would call a "lava hangover"

I had a ton of fun last night and now I just feel crappy.

Just kidding. sort of :)

Seriously, very happy for those who got them. To those who didn't (myself included), well get me next time.

I can say this and at least make myself feel a little better.

Things are always better when you have to work hard to get them and wait for them.

I participated in every sale night and i didn't get it sometimes too. But it's all fun and just keep trying :) We who didn't participated in last night sale enjoyed ourselves seeing so many new lava tanks owner get their first. :thumbs: congrats to all once again!
Time for me to go to bed on my side of the world!

Have a good night's sleep Pain!! :) I, too, have missed out on a tank during some sales, but try to never miss out on hanging with the greatest group of people in this entire world...and the best Boss ever of course!! Sure hope you feel better very soon Jon!!!!!!!!!

Dragon's Scale Turquoise...matches my wedding ring.

I thought you said you had to work last night and couldn't be here for the sale and was wanting someone to get one for ya so you could do a review. I sure hope that wasn't a ploy to get around the rule of only one tank per person per sale.
