worst place for me to look. I saw 1 guy selling two of them over the last month, each listed for $489 + shipping. the one sold to Hawaii, & not sure about the other, but thread was locked in less than 36hrs., so I assume sold. I also saw accent rings for $120obo, ridiculous!
I can't stand flippers like that; it hurts someone like myself from acquiring because someone else was able to 'add to cart' before I was with the pure intentions of profitting without any invested work instead of someone passionate over the device who would keep forever & actually has respect for Dave.
not knowing if/ when I will be able to get a satin media blasted finish is only frustrating me more & I'm struggling to not just walk away from future ownership. it also stalls my purchase of the Strata, which I want to pay for/ get on the list already.
I know all of SuperT is busy with those that have already paid for devices/ gear; & I know he certainly doesn't need my money, but we're talkin' about $300+ that I would like to contribute towards their endeavors. not trying to rant or complain, just lost as to what I should do.
it'll really suck if I just stick with all of my wonderful GP purchases & go on vaping well into the future from my trusty Chi-You, when I could be keeping an ELA all nice & cozy with a matching Strata for when I wanna treat myself to something special.
Just keep up your endeavors something will turn out sooner or later! Stay optimistic as I never thought I would get one for a decent price either, but everything did work out. Not everyone is a flipper
BELIEVE!!
