    even though i want a box, the 12 pack way seems fairest and the most fun to get everyone involved. Someone do it!

    Of all the causes of astronaut insanity, getting a fly caught inside your space helmet is probably in the top three.

    What the heck is going on in here???

    What are the other two top causes of astronaut insanity by the way? Oh wait, maybe I shouldn't ask. image

    I like the way Nick is thinking in this thread. I'd like to nominate him to organize the rip.

    The question hasn't been answered whether people who have already said they want one or more boxes are grandfathered in.

    Personally, if someone wants an entire box this is nonsensical, they should be able to call BBCE & just buy them. Whatever is left should go to the boards for pack rips. It's like the boxes are being held hostage..........Occupy BBCE. image

    Exactly - I was just thinking this is what a general assembly meeting down at Zucotti Park must be like.

    The point some people are missing though is that Steve is offering these 7 boxes as a group rip with a 10% discount not for regular purchases but for a CU group rip.

    With all this fuss over 36 year old boxes you'd think we were in cougartown, lol.

    I'd be interested in a pack if someone wants to sell me on from a box they buy. No pressure. image

    I would be in for a few packs if you designate any of the seven boxes to us that can only afford to buy a couple.

    I will open the packs I buy if any are offered to us smaller fish.

  • << <i>Not sure if leathtech still wants to set this up, but I'd be willing to do it. >>



    I will set this up tonight after I get home around 10:30pm central time... please do not ask for presales. Only the first 5 to post when I start the thread will get full boxes.

    The breakdown will be the following:

    5 - Full boxes (can only purchase 1 box in the 1st 24 hours)

    1 - box broken down into lots of 6 (for 6 total lots - can only purchase 1 lot in 1st 24 hours)

    1 - box broken down for single packs or lots of 2 (can purchase a max of 24 in the 1st 24 hours)

    thanks, Jasen

    I would check with Steve first, he may not offer the 10% discount for full boxes. I think he may prefer to discount for true rips with many customers.

    We are good to go... Steve already posted on page 1 in the thread:

    "Therefore we have 7 boxes left fresh from this case. I pulled the case and the loose boxes off the website. I will make these 7 boxes available to the group rip at the usual 10% off ($1290.00 per box). Just have someone keep me informed if the sign ups begin and the 7 boxes get sold"

    Full Box - $1290
    Lot of 6 - $215
    Single Packs - $35.85

    Plus normal shipping and insurance.

    What about people on the east coast? That's late, I already know of one member who cannot possibly stay up that late to get in on this.

  • Exactly...wasn't the '75 rack pack rip started at 11:00 or later EST?
  • 1980scollector1980scollector Posts: 2,036 ✭✭✭
    Thanks for doing one box where we can buy two packs. I will be sure to be over here to post that I want two packs when you post it.

    Thanks to Jasen for agreeing to set this up!

  • Maybe the first 5 that posted prior to the decision to really do it should get priority. After all, they were the ones that got the interest going as far as the entire case....

    Edited to add: Then again, I count over 6.....ouch....this can get complicated as I understand the East Coast issue and I know they'll be here in the AM with an opinion!

    This even makes it more interesting...

  • Just a thought. Id like to see some pictures of the boxes/packs prior to opening. Maybe even a picture of the boxes when they arrive from BBCE. I love pictures of older unopened stuff.

    Thanks
