Mixed results while I was gone. Only 4 checks, but most were for multiples. Up to 38% as of today. Still hoping, and still possible.

At 42% today and still counting.

45% today. Checks reported as already in the mail should bring us past 50%. Close, but not quite there yet...

Today brings us to 48%. Hoping to get enough by the end of the week to make the move. I don't want to let all these checks hang out in limbo too long.

Things are moving slower than I had hoped. Up to an even 50% today.

I'm going to need to cut this stage off at some point, can't let it drag on indefinitely. But far enough along that I don't yet want to write this off and give up. Here's hoping more payments are already in the mail.

Would this item be a candidate for the CZCC store or eBay for the remainder of the items?

I'd rather avoid eBay if I can. I do now have permission from the maker to offer them a bit wider, as long as I still don't personally profit from them, which opens the possibility to offer them on other sites like hybridz.org once I have product in hand.

hybridz is fine. I mentioned eBay as a last-effort thing, so you could have enough of a customer base to sell whatever you'd need to make the idea work out.

I would like to order one if you are still pursuing this. Just found the thread.

Thanks

Arne certainly is. Go ahead and send him the order.

"as long as I still don't personally profit from them" indicates to me that you could sell them on eBay provided you just used a "buy it now" price that's the same is what everyone here is paying (possibly plus the cost of doing business on eBay). I realize that eBay can be a hassle but surely that's a wider audience than what you have here. Clearly there are those of us who visit every day but there are others like Jerry who simply wasn't aware of this opportunity. I know you're anxious to make this happen but I'm personally willing to wait as long as it takes rather than have you feel like you have to pull the plug and return payments.

Oh, if I need to go to eBay to sell off the unspoken for units, I will. I would do it much as you noted.

Jerry, I'll send you a PM with the details.

And based on promises of money said to be in the mail, I'm going to extend my deadline to Oct. 31, maybe farther.
