But nah, I was fine.

Just wanted a donut and I don't see how it's fair to offer an item as a set price and then turn around and put them on ebay to feel out a new price point, which is what I think he may actually be doing with the auction. (I understand supply and demand, increasing prices and what not but I don't have to like it)

If the donutz all sell for above the current price point I would think that he intends to increase their website price when he gets everything at the website sorted... But we'll see

Even if that happens to be the case, it's completely his prerogative and I honestly can't fault the tactic but I can think it's a bit unscrupulous...

Here's hoping Moorea gets to dropping some drip tips soon because if that is what he does...I won't be purchasing a trippy.

sellin them on ebay!!!!!!!!!!


Yup.

Just a "one time" thing. I could understand if he made the auctions all "buy it now" and priced them the same as he did during his sales on the site but he intends to have everyone go at it auction style. Likely beginning the auctions with his original price! In this format only those with the deepest pockets will have a chance at the more sought after pieces.

I mentioned something of this in the trippy thread which turned into a fiasco quickly and I guess I looked like a complete *******.

You didn't look like an a$$hol3 or anything like it, but then again I am kinda clueless when it comes to social interactions so you mighta ...... on their great great grandmama for all I know, But I agree with you if he uses this as an opportunity to jack prices, not cool. And honestly they are pretty, I really like them, but they aren't work insane amounts of cash either.

I know how to blow glass....I am just really lazy, don't want to, and can't afford the equipment at home lol. I used to make glass pipes, Metal Sculptures and yea I am kinda surreal in some respects.... Anyway, if came down to it and and phiniac doesn't make them, I will go visit some of my wife's friends and make a few for myself, but man that requires hanging out with my wife's friends...........

I looked like a complete - - - - - - - -.

I know we don't know each other well - however just as a heads up - I don't actually know if I was reported or not . . . But I was repremanded by a moderator for using a very similar word for calling myself another word for "Donkey" to avoid ECF Censors . . . So - Might I suggest you and "My" Friend REDD edit your post before you get a PM Warning too ;) . . .

Just a suggestion and not anything else, because I have absolutley no porblem with anyone calling themself what was classified by an ECF Moderator as an "obscene" word . . .

I even got a repremand for using a Animated Smiley in my Signature from my one of my post in this thread - Again just a Heads UP ! ! ! You can see both PM's in My Profile ;)


EDIT: BTW: Keep "Me" In Mind TOO When You Making Them :D

You don't sound like a complete **** to me... They sound like very reasonable concerns!

On a side note, one of the things that were most important to us when setting up our business model was to avoid any sort of business practices that made the sales of our products not open to everyone. We never want any to feel like they have just lost a contest trying to by our products or that our products are only available to our very best friends and as long as we remain in business this will be at the forefront of how we do things!

We will be getting to it soon! I promise. We don't after all want to make you hang out with your wife's friends!

Hmmm, the post were already edited, but if it is the word I think it is, I might have to go edit a few posts else where on the forum! We were not talking about feeling like one, but talking about a cute one, guess it is the same thing though.

Evening Blue, Evening Redd!
