Doesn't matter, i kinda sorted it out, i think....

We can still get them at $159.99 under certain conditions!
But in this case, "more waiting" is not a luxury we can afford anymore...


Which means, participants should decide...

We have to get all 9 drives at once - those are the conditions for the "one time only exception"...

EDIT: And i don't know how much time we have! So i need people to decide, please... :yh:

Ok, Bryce any I just calculated that IF we go with this offer for $159.99, it would cost:


$168.51 per LG 8x Drive
(Shipping AND PayPal fees INCLUDED)




For shipping we thought best would be USPS Express (comes here in 7 days or less), which costs $24-26 (depending on how it's done - personal or online) and is the SAFEST method of shipping fom US to me.
Before that, Bryce wants to ship the sleds to Daguin for partial diode extraction (= diodes still in their little heatsinks for protection, for shipping to me)...


So shipping is calculated to be $30 total, divided by 9 of us it's $3.33 per person..
$159.99 + $3.33 = $163.32 shipped with express to me....
Then there are PayPal Fees, i used reverse PP fee calculator, and it said $168.51 - that's where the above price is from...


$168.51 is only valid if we go now, and don't miss the special offer i got!



NewEgg already has the price of this exact same item listed as $179.99 again, as of today!
Now if i put that into the same calculation, with shipping and PP feez, it comes to $189.10!!



I kinda like the first price better, and i'd really like to get these sooner rather than later, but everyone has to decide for themselves! We don't know what will happen in a few weeks...

I'm going through with it, because i want to, and i want to do it now. I want to put extra diodes in the murder pool, and finally make myself an 8x as well!

The rest of you have to decide for yourselves, for your own reasons. Don't order now to do someone else a favor, order now if you want one now, regardless of where the prices will go in the future (as you have just seen, down is not the only possibility).


I also could have waited for the 6x's to become available as QC rejects, but instead got my first GGW diode for around $300 from a brand new LG drive, and i will never regret it! This here is almost double the power at half the price (if 8x's can survive 400mW as long as 6x's can survive 200mW - something we will know soon as well)!!

The 8x MURDER EXPERIMENT is happening soon, so the more diodes i have here for selection, the better! And a few are already on their way, one even here!

So yeah, it was implied, that this should happen sooner rather than later, but don't worry, there is backup, if the "special offer" only holds with 9 drives and not 8, someone else will gladly take your place... :yh:



You just stay in touch, for the other things and your future laser! :yh:

Very good, Bryce gave me his PP email for funds for the order, i also saw a pm from Shogoki, need to check it!

Otherwise, while we lost Tabish, his spot was immediatelly filled by Tmar, who is now on the list...


If Shogoki's answer is YES, we can order now! :yh:




EDIT: And Shogoki's answer IS YES! We are done!

EDIT2: Correction, we're not done, still waiting for the last confirmation... :angel:

Ok, now ideally everyone email me, for payment details? My email is in my PROFILE! :angel:


Like Bryce said, it is EXTREMELLY important you put "8x GB - Your-Nickname" in the subject field, so i know who i'm talking to (and Bryce knows who the money is from)!
- You'll get a reply from me with payment instructions, follow them to the letter, Bryce gets the money and will place the order.


I just need to go confirm that we are taking the offer first, make sure it's still good! Ideally i will have some emails from participants by then!
