No worries, I'm not in a hurry or anything (I know how it is since I seem to be low on time to spend on my arcade hobby too), but you got me kinda worried with your remark about "selling the rest of the buttons on ebay".

Yeah, I thought that might have set some people off.

No, I'm not talking about the preorder stuff, I'm talking about the few extras that I got in addition to the preorder stuff.

I'm looking forward to the auctions as I missed out on the pre-order. Congratulations and good luck on your third child. I have three kids already (4, 3 and 2) and know how busy life can get at times.

Sorry to drag up an old topic. But I was curious if you had figured out the pricing/shipping etc. for the international people yet?

SirPeale · « **Reply #44 on:** November 14, 2004, 10:27:54 pm »

I'm glad you brought it up; I've been dragging my feet on this. Real Life just...sucks.

I'll do my best to contact everyone else by the end of the week.

I've tried to follow this thread and at a minimum I do grasp your lack of available hobby time based on real life activities.....

Are there extras of these for at least player 1 and 2 that are or will be made available for sale?

SirPeale · « **Reply #46 on:** November 14, 2004, 10:56:14 pm »

I had someone pre-order ten of each button (1, 2, 3 and 4). He's since dropped off the planet. Since he's a stand up guy, and no one in our little circle has seen or heard from him, I fear the worst.

So since we've not heard from him, and I can't just sit on them (got bills to pay) they're going to be up for grabs.

Not sure how I'm going to do that.

I've done a 'first come, first serve' in the past, but I always get bitchy emails about them. "Oh, you started it off @ 9am, but gee whiz, that may be good for you, but I'm in bloody ANTARTICA! It's like 3 am there, and I'll be asleep! It's just no fair!"

I could stick them on my site...and just not say anything...and just let people order them from there...

Maybe a random number drawing. I'll pick ten numbers between 1 and 100, and those people who get those numbers get the buttons.

Maybe a low-earth-orbit rocket, that will shower down the buttons on the populace. Except that'll make them burn up on re-entry. Hm....

Sorry to hear you are having difficulties at home. I know, I have had some hard times myself with my family. Hope everything works out for you. Even though things can seem bad at times, I find that usually things work out in the end no matter what the trouble is. So keep your chin up

Anyhow thanks for keeping up with us international guys it is appreciated.

Whatever you decide to do, let us know. Only need a P1/P2 myself.

grueinthebox · « **Reply #49 on:** November 16, 2004, 06:08:18 am »

I'd think eBay would probably be the best... 10 lots of four buttons (one of each). Auctions would be up for several days, and no one could say it wasn't fair to their time zone.

Although if you could find appropriate high-temp ceramic packaging, the low earth orbit rocket solution does sound interesting...

notaburger · « **Reply #50 on:** November 17, 2004, 01:06:08 am »

or you could just do a makeshift auction on here
just keep a list of the top ten bidders then everyone gets em for the lowest bid that won
i really want a set of 1-4 and am willing to pay 20 buckeroos shipped
maybe more if neccessary

SirPeale · « **Reply #51 on:** November 22, 2004, 07:25:12 pm »

I have decided to list those ten sets on eBay.

SirPeale · « **Reply #52 on:** November 22, 2004, 07:30:56 pm »

To the int'l buyers that preordered: I haven't forgotten you. I know I said I'd have it done by weeks end (last week) but I got working on the trackballs, and didn't do that. You should hear from me shortly.

anthonylitz · « **Reply #53 on:** November 22, 2004, 11:11:14 pm »

Peale I am going to bid on this auction!

Hey can you give me some info on getting buttons custom made? There is seems to be an open market on these custom buttons. If you want I can email you instead.

Anthony

It took me many months to track down the people necessary in this endeavour. The information is out there, young padawan. But you must search for it.

I will use the force Master. (Google

Like 1.5 hours later, nothing....I bow to your searching abilitys!

Sweet, black player buttons are just what i wanted...

SirPeale · « **Reply #57 on:** November 25, 2004, 10:41:20 am »

Winding down now...only eight hours to go, as of this posting.

Vicious · « **Reply #58 on:** November 25, 2004, 08:11:21 pm »

Now I'll finally have a couple sets of my own. Thanks a lot for putting these up Peale.

ften · « **Reply #59 on:** November 25, 2004, 08:19:16 pm »

I agree, these are going to look sweet on my CP.

SirPeale · « **Reply #60 on:** November 25, 2004, 08:59:12 pm »

All ten sets sold.

spiffyshoes · « **Reply #61 on:** November 26, 2004, 10:49:52 am »

Thanks Peale so much for giving those of us that weren't smart enough to pre order and those that maybe weren't around during the pre-orders a chance to get some of these awsome buttons!!

Mine was more a matter of laziness. Anyway, I got my sets today and they look great. Once again Peale, thank you.

SirPeale · « **Reply #63 on:** November 29, 2004, 09:43:08 pm »

To everyone that lives in Canada that pre-ordered: I've sent your emails. Sorry for the *extreme* delay. I'll be getting the rest of you shortly.

Nephasth · « **Reply #64 on:** December 09, 2010, 10:53:38 pm »

Sorry for bringing up a dead thread, but what are the chances of this happening again? I'm in need of a 4 player set. All I can find are euro 2 player sets.

ften · « **Reply #65 on:** December 10, 2010, 03:07:24 am »

Damn has it been six years sense I built my arcade cabinet, I'm getting old.

I can check to see what kind of stock I have left. I may have enough for a 4p set.

Nephasth · « **Reply #67 on:** December 10, 2010, 01:04:07 pm »

A 4 player set and an extra 1P and 3P if possible. Thanks for checking.
