[quote=Adam]We had 50. They sold out. Not much we can do about it. We have what we have. Our entire stock of HTEP’s is almost entirely gone now.
And when we see backlash like this when we tried to make it as fair and reasonable as possible (we easily could have auctioned them or sold them for $100 a piece for JUST HTEP), it makes me not want to do this kind of stuff anymore.

read my forum post I suggested A RANDOM COMPETITION where every member who wants one signs up and u randomly select however many u want!!
These members HAVE to pay of course!!
What do u think?

How is that more fair? That’s practically the exact same thing as just putting the CD’s up for sale. You’re either lucky and get it, or unlucky and don’t…
And again, people would complain about that process even more I’m sure.
[quote=Ethereal1][quote=Adam][quote=StanleyElite]
No offence Adam as I made clear in my recent forum topic I appreciate u doing this so THANKS the main point of serious dissapointment is the fact chances were NOT equal for everyone…I suggested a different method in my forum post a few secs ago…

I stopped reading this thread on page one out of frustration. What is your suggestion?
[/quote]
a dedicated link for LPUers that has been on here for 1+ years and give them a minute to finalise the order and if not then it moves on to someone else.[/quote]
And why special for LPUers 1+ years? Are they better LPUers than the LPUers join at LPU11?
They have 90 bundles, they sold 90 bundles thats the deal.
You got one? Your a lucky guy?
Don´t get one? Stop flaming and crying like a little girl.
My 2 cents…
I’ve been doing this a LONG time. Trust me, people would have been just as upset. No one was cheated out of a bundle.
[quote=Cassie]Got mine in Alaska, USA.
I had the store’s page left on my computer from last night. Woke up this morning, refreshed a couple times, and there the bundle was.
Not only did I have time to scroll through the store (I glanced over the bundle thinking perhaps it was at the bottom of the page before scrolling back up to the top), I was also able to add LPUs 5, 7, and 8 to my cart as well. I paid USD 28 and some change for UPS 2nd Day Air, which made my total order about $108.
I just read Adam’s reply about there only being 50 bundles, which surprised me. I didn’t realize how few there were going to be. I don’t think there is any way they could have made this more fair than a first-come, first-serve basis, except having 8,000 (or however many estimated users there are) available for everyone to buy.
And I don’t know if these are original HTEPs or not, but I’m certainly not complaining about the total price–especially since I can believe the CD is what it is advertised as, rather than some rip off burned copy with an at home printed label. If I can pay $99 for their newest album bundle I can rationalize paying around that for four hard-to-find albums, as well as three additional CDs.
OK. You caught us. Ok everyone the jig is up! We actually just wanted to make sure StanleyElite didn’t get a bundle so we wrote up some crazy code so there’s no way he could get it, but everyone else could.
Seriously dude?
[quote=Adam][quote=StanleyElite]
No I actually believe everyone would have been more than content with that!!
That way u do NOT have server/ internet etc. issues that some get in earlier
Secondly everyone has the same chance through that, there is no pressure on you, you can pick however many u want and not at a specific time!!
People would NOT get angry like so many are because they would not have the feeling of beeing cheated out of bundle (dissapearing from cart etc.)

This is no different that buying concert tickets on a site like ticketmaster. Some get lucky some don’t.
It is what it is. You win some, you lose some. I’m sorry you didn’t get a bundle. I wish we had a million of them so we could just sell them to everyone. We don’t. I’m done discussing this. This was as fair as it possible could be. We can never please everyone, but we do try our best.
I’m glad I took advantage of the LPU store’s sale when I did (LPU9?). I didn’t have to waste my time with this crap today [biggrin]
[quote=Adam][quote=StanleyElite]
OK I know I am sorry it is early and I got up especially for this!!
I apologize NO OFFENCE intended!!
Thanks,
Stanley

Oh, dudes. Calm down. 8000 LPUer 90 bundles. Surely not everyone is happy. But what is the option? To sell nothing, so nobody get pissed?
Yes good idea to calm down but PLEASE don’t start the discussion about better options again 
We have discussed this in this thread A LOT now
I think it was not a good idea to sell those bundles ^^
no bundles = no one would be mad
Today’s lesson: Supply and Demand.
Oh well, Better luck next time!
They’re messing with us. Site was down from 8:58pm (my time) till 9:03pm and then they were all gone. Ridiculous.

How are we messing with you?
sadly, got no bundle 
but happy to get the old newsletters
