Everything in life can't and should not be about money.. Yes 4 is more than 1 but having 1 is more than having none!

I've already sent 2 reports of flippers to BB... Hopefully they get added to the never can buy again list..

DD needs to add a 'Report a flipper' link on the site... Click and submit

WOAH

This may have just took a turn for the worse.

Is ALL THIS relevant to me in your meaning?

I highly doubt that, Beck.

I have sold a couple of BB's to fund a different colour.

I have been offered quite a bit for the renovated polished one with wood panels but I won't sell any more of my collection.

The bright blue one cost two silver ones.

Huh? I'm lost.. Why would my comment be about you?

If you read through from my post to yours, it just flows so well... like it was meant to be a direct response.

Hence my confusion.

I had to at least ask.

Can't say I blame you.

I'm excited to run the kanger RBA in my rev 4. I just recently got a job so hopefully I'll be able to pick up that adaptor soon. I might end up using it more then my Uno since it'll be able to have a little more space for clapton coils.

The frustration that comes with the one minute sellout and the flipping issue could be fixed with a simple change to how orders are accepted. The current model were stock is released on a single day at a single time has created the market urgency for those that want to cash in on it.

The fix is simple: allow for pre-orders at any time. As part of the pre-order process communicate the hell out of the fact that it will take xxx number days or weeks before your product will ship. That allows anyone who wants one to simple order and pay for the colour they want, sit back and wait and have trust in BB to deliver. Those that order will know that they have one coming, instead of the current world where unless they win a F5 war or buy from a flipper they won't see one for a long time coming.

It will all but kill the flip market and will also allow BB to plan their production lines better.

The current purchasing model is akin to Black Friday sales, chaos and crazy.

Just mah 2 cents.

That would be so nice for some of us that have a snail moving internet. It glitches so much if I do get one in the basket never a hope to get one. I wouldn't mind waiting 2 or 3 months for it to be filled as long as it was gonna come sometime. But alas some people would be so inpatient that they would more then likely drive them crazy over when the order would be filled. But on another note it would be a good tool for DD to be able to plan his product line. Nice thoughts meleemark but don't think that is how DD wants to do it.

Oh and I wanna play pittarz I missed the last games cause of computer issues. That game was so much fun win or lose it was just something to look for ward to. That was a great high light to a lonely day. Have a good weekend everyone. I have lots of work to do.

 

[DPLongo22]

Jeez! What the heck went ON here last night????

Everything back to normal now? I hope so.

 

[LittleBird]

Pittarz? Did someone say Pittarz?

Not real sure this would work either.. Lets use some # I have completely made up.

-5,000 people want the rev 4 and order it.
-DD makes 200 a week

The # of people who want and order is probably low and the # I estimate he makes might be high. Using those numbers you'd be waiting 2-years for a BB..

This is a tough one to solve. I use to buy Super T products and there was always a long, long long wait. He would cap the numbers at 500 or so but it would still take 6-12 months to get your mod. Flipping still happened.

The problem can't really be solved. The only way is to produce more than the demand and that means mass China production.

 

[DancingHeretik]

I agree with both of you. Plus, if DD of BB were to accept pre-orders, he would be under so much constant pressure. Creating Billet Boxes would become a job instead of a calling. And, the product would surely suffer.

An easy solution would be for people to just not do it! A 10% markup? Okay I could live with that as they are impossible to get. A 300-400-500-1000% markups? Please! That's just insanity and pure greed!

The community could stop it as well. MT on Facebook banned the listing of rev 4's for now. Kudo's to them for doing so! If the other places did the same there would be nowhere to flip it. eBay? They could control it as well, to a point. Sure some would still slip through the cracks but if it became harder to flip, it might semi-solve the issue..

Maybe someone needs to make a Flipper Wall Of Shame and list everyone who gets caught flipping any mod there. Screenshots, photos and links to their FB profiles galore.. LOL

This was the most interesting trade offer I've seen..... Offering up Apple products to try to close the deal

After having my Rev4 for a few weeks I'm actually considering dumping all my other mods (minus a DNA200 mod and bottom feeder) as this really hits all of my vaping needs.

 

[raqball]

Hahaha! I remember a few years ago I saw someone, somewhere, offer to trade a person a brand new MacBook Air for a Hellfire Hybrid..

LOL..

As funny as it would be doxxing someone would probably be a really bad idea. I wouldn't want to be the one responsible for someone getting harassed
