[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

I was given a different number as well. I’m number 77 in the list, but the PM had me as number 74. I paid using the number from the PM before I realized there was a discrepancy.

payment sent
on PM my number is 77 but on the thread is 80 so i write 77

Of course we should be paying for Goods and Services when using Paypal!This way you get a proper receipt of your purchase.
If you are just sending money to Family or Friends that may not present a proper receipt in the eyes of customs.

It is best to use # number tag given in your PM as that is the closest thing among your username that identifies you to LT in this GB.
Original lists are not updated yet but they will most likely show your proper # given in PM .

Preferably not. 555 messages with just that info would be even more annoying than the 100 or so this far. I’ve got to admit this message is not very helpful either, but it’s my quota for “i paid” posts, with the added benefit of someone possibly not posting a “paypal sent” message.

489 payment sent.

Number: 457. Payment sent.

Just to quell a few questions I see being repeated around here:

YOUR NUMBER ON YOUR PM WILL MOST LIKELY DIFFER FROM YOUR NUMBER NO POST #3!!! This is because Post #3 is NOT CURRENT and people have dropped out since it had last been updated. Chances are, your PM # will be 1 or 2 or 3 numbers smaller than what you see in Post #3. I assume it is wisest to use the number given to you on the PM when you make your payment.

USE “PAY FOR GOODS AND SERVICES” INSTEAD OF “FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!” Someone correct me if I’m wrong but the chances of having Neals PayPal account suspended increases substantially when 555 “family and friends” across the globe suddenly send him money for no reason. From the perspective of PayPal (who doesn’t know nor care what a BLF GT is), this type of activity is extremely suspicious and could look like he is attempting some kind of scam, or that he is the victim of some hack or scam. The extra $.96 is so that PayPal knows that this is kind of a business transaction (and the fact that they added this into the payment should be a hint that they want you to use “goods and services”).

IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO POST THAT YOU HAVE PAID although there is nothing saying you cannot. We are all excited about this project and the methods to release our excitement are limited. :slight_smile:

Anyhow, I want to seriously thank The Miller and everyone else who actively made the GT a reality. You guys have put some real time, elbow grease, and brain power into this project for almost a year and as far as I can tell, have not gotten paid for any of your efforts. If anything, you guys should at least be getting your own GTs for free. Please know that at the very least, your work is appreciated by a heck of a lot of people here!

oh yeah, I almost forgot to say… “PP sent!”

wait, wha? oops, I think I forgot that part.

I totally missed that as well

Ordered 2 GT separately.
Need to cancel 1 GT. Please give my 2nd order to a fellow BLF.
Payment sent for 1GT via PayPal.
PM sent to Neal and The Miller as I screwed up on the numbers in the Paypal payment note.
My sincere apologies to The GT Team.

I forgot

Yeah I also forgot that.

I read only the pm: Please pay $14.96
I’m not perfect English… :weary:
…and i payed last night 14,96+0,88 fee of course Send money to friends and family instead of Pay for goods or services :person_facepalming:
I hurried…

Since thats no “goods” will sent to us with this payments, I think phone number can add to note when you pay for rest of payment… (and GT will send to you).

Initially, I thought that too but I concluded it’s best to let the people in charge of this project make that decision.

I ended up PMing both Neal and The MIller with a brief apology. Surely they will understand (mentally preparing to receive a light with “NO PHONE NUMBER” engraved instead of “BLF GT”)

Hmmm I made the mistake of omitting my phone number as well :person_facepalming:

Could Neal or TheMiller please let us know what to do as I dont think they want dozens of pm’s about it.

Cheers David
