darn..I almost had grab bag number 6. I had it in my cart and everything. You guys are so damn fast.

Gah!
Another one I've missed!

I hope someone is willing to sell a spare one of those great emitters that seem to be in most of these. I really love that thing!

Yeah I give up on this. I've been sittin here reloading the site every 3 mins since 8:30 central time yesterday and I've missed every one of them. Haven't even gotten close enough to get one in a cart, by the time I see em up there, they are sold already. I love you Tim, but this was a cruel way to do this.

Tim is making things right for me. What an awesome guy!

I know your frustration. I've been trying to think of another way of doing it, and I'm drawing a blank. I think the way Tim is doing it offers the most even chance. Since it's not a set schedule, none of us have a specific edge apart from our Mouse-Click Kung Fu.
It might not hurt as much if there were no pictures, but we want to know what we're buying.

I was almost thinking of not putting the pics anymore since everyone is buying them without even looking it seems. It was do it this way or ebay again. When I did that everyone complained because they couldn't afford them. At least this way everyone has a sporting chance.

I wish the website had someway to better control more than one person getting it in their shopping cart as I hate to refund someone and tell them they didn't win.

I guess you're right, but the pics don't even seem to matter, no body has time to look at the pics before they buy it, someone else would scoop it up while you were browsing

EDIT:

I guess Tim beat me to it. I just wanted to clarify that I like this idea of selling the imperfect pieces in bulk like this, I sure know I could find uses for most if not all of those pieces. I also don't think it's unfair in anyway, I just don't see how I could of been more vigilant in keeping up with the store to see when they were released, and I didn't even come close to gettin one in my cart.
