fuck! i hate money!

I got impatient and blew the cash on something else.

Although this time it payed off and got all the sounds I wanted anyway...

[tashiattack]

I think this is a great idea!

It should deter some people from re-selling it for outrageous prices.

Then again.. maybe not... given how people continue to sell the timmy far more than just by getting one built.

do. want. badly.

[dubkitty]

so what would keep people from pre-ordering and then re-selling them? in fact, what better way to close other buyers out of the market and artificially drive the price up? haven't these folks ever known anyone who dealt with a ticket scalper? just get your guys to sit in the pre-order line...

[Holy Schnikes]

It should be the same result except this time the mad rush will be focused on a Pre-Order position instead of the pedal

But then what's the point? Avoid another credit card overcharge debacle, possibly...

[leastwise]

But then what's the point?

Not having to reply to hundreds of "when will they be ready!??!?!?!?!!?" e-mails every day.

probably makes the order process a lot more manageable for them. i bet their website got hammered when the last batch went on sale. and then they can get the stuff in off the truck, have the shipping labels pre-printed, slap 'em on, and run the units out the door as quickly as possible. win/win, sounds like.

But then what's the point?

Not having to reply to hundreds of "when will they be ready!??!?!?!?!!?" e-mails every day.

That's one major goal I'm sure. TGP emails regardless, everyone knows that Strymon.

Yeah, I'm sure their goal is less craziness. I commend those guys dealing with that shit. Even upgraded my annoying ass with 2 day shipping after neglecting to purchase it originally. I emailed fully expecting to be ignored yet they hooked it up.

I'm hoping the point is used El Cap's for $200. But that might be too optimistic.

The time has come gents...

Want, but I'm just being excessive. I'm happy with my m9 and flashback combo.

[dubkitty]

well, if you're not ready to order yet, there's a rumor that they'll be making a Timeline cartridge for the Console II.
