i am just thinkin with 20 of them if that up if i couldnt get one with 40 odds are with 20 per sale thats pretty much a never - oh well i at least have one i dont like guess thats something.
Lily, as Grammie aptly put it, winners never quit. I'm going to spend a moment on this as I somewhat consider myself an "eternal optimist," and then move on. I hope what I say helps, but if not, that's your own choice. If you feel negatively about something, you will produce negative results!
1 - This batch is only as small as it is due to the fact that there are two needy lists of people. One, the 10 folks who have been waiting patiently for their batch number to come up just so they could own one of these beauties! And second, those who have supported Jon in the past and he (like a good boss does) is not only reimbursing them all, but giving them the pick of the batch. I completely understand. They are going to a worthy cause.
2 - With two lathes running and as hard-working as Jon is, not only will sales be more frequent, but there will be more tanks per batch. This batch is smaller from the get-go, due to the loss of the Genesis and wood tanks. Add in to that the lists of people above, and I'm sure it won't be the happiest sale night ever around here, but it will still be a SALE night, and that is what matters.
If you are diligent, there is undoubtedly a Lava in everyone's future. That, and you couldn't ask for a more helpful group than the Lavacorps. The sheer enormity of the amount of people who have gotten the tanks they want by methods different than just the frenzy, is astounding.
Give credit where credit is due. Patience is a virtue.
