Okay Peale, I went out and got a new cab project for myself (thanks to my bud edgedamage!) There's where the black buttons are gonna go.

Looks like it's going to be a sweet project!

I just picked up a cabinet, it was a Wreslefest in it's first life, and was converted into a Super High Impact.

I'm not sure how I'm going to handle the CP. It certainly has plenty of room for four people, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do two or four player CP with this. I'm leaning towards two, but we'll see.

Mind if I shoot some dimensions your way to help me plan my CP? I don't have a CAD program.

Zakk · « **Reply #42 on:** February 23, 2004, 09:19:34 pm »

no prob! Just send me the dimensions, and the parts you plan to use...I use oscar's cad models of the parts, so they're perfectly to size. Zelda was the first one where I had to figure out placement of a rediculous number of controls, and it worked out perf.

Yeah, I don't know if I really want a 4 player, but it IS a4 player cab, seems silly that I would convert all those 2 player cabs to 4, and convert a 4 player to 2...so.....

Looks like it's too late to order the cool black start buttons, but does anyone out there sell any kind of start buttons that aren't that standard white with the black figure? Be nice to have something just a little bit different.

I've got extras. Watch this space for details.

Time is running out! For those of you who pre-ordered your buttons and have not emailed me a response, your cut-off date is the 29th of this month. After that, you're SOL.

Garrett · « **Reply #47 on:** February 26, 2004, 02:28:47 pm »

I'd like to officially put my name on the "waiting list" if there is a such a thing.

Thanks.

SirPeale · « **Reply #48 on:** February 26, 2004, 03:30:05 pm »

there is not.

Peale, I received the buttons today - awesome - professional quality just like the Happs.

Thanks again, they really looks great on my black/yellow CP. I'll post a pic when I can.

Of course! They're made by the same people.

The Feb 29 deadline is over...

Please let me know if you have a complete set of 1 to 4 player buttons still available? As I can send payment asap via paypal.

Many Thanks!

As promised, they are now available. See the FA post in the 'For Sale' forum.

Wizard of DelRay · « **Reply #55 on:** March 01, 2004, 09:13:24 pm »

Decided to go ahead and kick off the bidding. Here's hoping I'm the one sending out payment on Wednesday.

shmokes · « **Reply #56 on:** March 01, 2004, 09:21:14 pm »

Do I understand correctly that in order to get 1-player and 2-player buttons the winning bidder is required to buy 3-player and 4-player buttons as well?

Also, do you only have 1 set left unclaimed, or would it be possible to purchase, say, 3 sets?

MiKman · « **Reply #57 on:** March 01, 2004, 09:45:28 pm »

Awww no shipping to Canada

Go ahead and bid. I forgot to check the 'Canada' box. Shipping will be slightly more than listed, though.

This is being auctioned as a set, yes.

Yes, there are more. If you didn't get in on this pre-order, I'm sorry, it's too late. I allowed a very lengthy amount of time for people to show their interest.

That being said, I will be doing another run. BUT, it's going to be a long while down the road.

MiKman · « **Reply #60 on:** March 02, 2004, 08:15:10 am »

You do realize the bidding is gonna get crazy

Good for you Peale you deserve the $$ for all the hard work you put into this.

GGKoul · « **Reply #61 on:** March 02, 2004, 11:26:02 am »

Are you ebaying the rest of the sets or is this your last set?

As I missed out on the pre-order by a few days. And I've been emailing you from the begining to get a complete set of 4. I was even the first person to contact you after your own Feb 29th deadline for pre-orders. (Check this thread or your email) Where you stated that any extra will be sold at a first come first serv basis.

"So this is what I'm going to do: If all pre-orders have not been claimed by February 29th (two weeks from today) then they will go out on a first come, first serve basis."

You can do whatever you want with the buttons. But don't say one thing and do another... as there's alot of people interested in purchasing a set and ebaying your extras for top dollar is the opposite of what you stated as you where going to sell any extras here.

If its your last set, then go ahead and ebay it. As there's lots of people interested in a set. And its the only way to decide who will get the last set. But I haven't seen anything to say that this is your last set.

They look great and I hope to get a complete set, but not via ebay.

All I ask is.. Let me and the rest of us interested in a set know what your plans are for the extra sets. And how many you have left.. if any.

Thanks

I hope that you didn't cave to just one person's complaints and ended the auction because of that. I'm hoping that it's just somebody claimed their set late, but...

SirPeale · « **Reply #63 on:** March 02, 2004, 01:49:56 pm »

GGKoul -

I never said this was my last set. In fact, just two messages up I state that very thing.

I have also said that I am not keeping a list of people who wanted a set of the 'extras.' There will be sets, and they will going out as I see fit.

I have, for the time being, cancelled the auction. I did say they would be going out on a first come, first serve basis. Hey, I've been busy; I forgot.

So, let's start things off. In order to make this fair, I'm going to defer the 'start time' of this little ditty a bit, to allow others the opportunity to 'join in.'

At 9:00am, tomorrow morning, Eastern Standard Time, there will be three (3) sets of four buttons: one, two, three and four player available. You must email me with

LINK REMOVED, ALL BUTTONS CLAIMED

to request a set. Want more than one set? You have to send another email. One set to an email. Of course, the catch here is there are only three four player sets available. The first three emails into my inbox (and into a special folder set up just for that occasion) will get to purchase the buttons. Any emails coming in BEFORE 9:00AM EST will be ignored.

There will be two player sets available later this week.

SirPeale · « **Reply #64 on:** March 03, 2004, 08:53:34 am »

Less than five minutes to go! Hope nobody forgot!

SirPeale · « **Reply #65 on:** March 03, 2004, 08:59:37 am »

All three are now claimed! Thanks, everyone.

The first three people who emailed me, of course!

shmokes · « **Reply #68 on:** March 03, 2004, 07:35:59 pm »

I'll be interested when you do another run. I deliberately abstained from the first pre-order because they were going to be competition-style buttons, IIRC. Once everyone (including yourself) was pleasantly surprised by them being regular concave buttons I PM'd you, but I had a pretty hefty request (3 1-player and 3 2-player buttons, no 3 or 4-player -- rotating panels) and at that time you didn't know how many would go unclaimed.

At any rate, I just wanted to redeem myself for missing the lenthy pre-order. It wasn't laziness, but the fact that the pre-order was for a product I wasn't interested in, and the final product turned out to be one that I was.

I hope you were able to tuck away a tidy little profit, at least enough to justify the time it took to coordinate all the ordering and package/ship buttons to people. I look forward to the next run....I've got Nanuu graphics, so I shouldn't have any trouble making due until then.

Khenemet Heru · « **Reply #69 on:** March 21, 2004, 03:13:27 am »

Hey Peale,

Damn I missed out on this, those buttons are cool! Did you get them made custom or are they available for order someplace and you're just coordinating a bulk order? I'd love to get a set myself... I only need P1 & P2, are the surplus going up for grabs any time soon (same e-mail thing as the P1-P4 surplus sets i assume)?

SirPeale · « **Reply #70 on:** March 21, 2004, 08:58:12 am »

I do have more, and will be conducting a 'drawing' of sorts coming up soon. No, they're not available to buy anywhere else.
