BLF Lantern Purchase/Followup Information - Group Buy list is Closed!!!!

The present plan is to have 500 in batch 1 thus 500PM’s. I think there will be enough in batch 2 for everyone else who wants a lantern but that’s on Sofirn to decide.

Sorry I can’t be more specific. I’ll update this if I find out more.

Stop this subscribed nonsense, it just clutters the thread.

There’s a dedicated button for that:

It’s probably been addressed, but I just noticed that the list jumps from 317 to 349 so your code count might end up a little off.

The entry number value isn’t used for anything other than ordering requests as they were inserted into my table. There are gaps due to people no longer being active in BLF.

You may consider sending out more than 500 PM’s in the first batch. People will not buy, people will buy more than they claimed, codes will get shared, and everything in between. Might as well send out extra and let the first 500 people who are ready to go be the early adopters… Just my .02

Thanks

I’ll be sending out single-use Amazon codes so PM’ing more people than there are codes could present major issues.

If I recall correctly, batch #2 is planned to consist of 2,000 - 3,000 pcs.

Even more reason you will need to send out more than 500 then unless you think you will get 100% buy rate. You will have to cross this bridge now or later

I prefer buying from Amazon or eBay.

It’s only on the first post of the thread. (i’m sure you realized this but i’m leaving it because people make this mistake all the time)

I saw afterward… such a dummy.

Without a doubt there will be a < 100% buy rate. But call me a slacker or whatever because I don’t want to deal with getting PM’s saying why isn’t my code working, etc.

In addition I’m flagging each interest request with the Amazon code when a PM is sent out so as know that that entry # got a code and not to resend it again when batch #2 is ready. To manually have to reset flags and also modify my scripts is easier said than done.

Also there’s no bridge to cross later since as I understand it there will be sufficient codes in batch #2 is send everyone a code :slight_smile:

I have a need to order my 5 in a single order - is it a problem to wait until I have received all 5 codes to make a single order? If so I will try to make other arrangements.

Hummm….Amazon codes are single-use codes and I guess you can apply 5 codes to a single order. According to Sofirn the batch #1 codes are good for 30 days so as long as we get the batch #2 codes within that period you should be fine. If it proves to be a problem PM me (SIGShooter) and I will manually send you batch #2 codes.
