Title: Why is everything I need out of stock?!?!
Post by: mcseforsale on March 06, 2012, 05:09:10 pm
Clear pushbuttons...out of stock.
Illuminated 3" Electric Ice trackball...out of stock.
translucent...anything...out of stock.

What gives?  Seems like everything I need is out of stock?  Is there a strike by the translucent and clear plastic manufacturing gnomes?   :angry: :badmood:  And...how long will this go on?  :cry:

It will go on until the prices on the demand gets high enough for the chinese factories to crank out some more!

So, basically when you see "pre-order now", they're just waiting until they have enough of my cash to fill an entire order.

Priceless.

Perhaps they ran out of underpants?   ;D

If you want Clear NovaGem2 buttons in RGB or other, email me.  We have those, just not on the store yet.

Waiting on delivery of the EI trackballs.  We have a black version with RGB now,which is similar. Also not on the store yet.

Waiting on delivery of the EI2 buttons.  Should be getting more by next week from our USA-based factory :)  They seem to have trouble getting us quantities.  We don't do pre-orders, so when they come in, they tend to go fast.  We're working on it.

Thanks a bunch Randy!   :applaud: :applaud:  I'm probably going to hold out for the EI2s next week.  I'm interested in this black trackball...what is it?  It sounds cool.

I'm saving up my paper route money (does anyone actually do that anymore?) so that the wife can't ---smurfette---. :D  I'm probably on the hook for one trackball kit, 3 versa ball shafts and some buttons. 

Thanks!
AJ

I am sorry.

We are in the process of some major upgrades at the Bayer chemical plant where I work.  It is gonna be until Christmas time until we are pumping out some sweet new medical grade plastic.

Sorry to Hijack...I am a little new to buttons...and I am building my first cabinet (and about to start the control panel)

I am really keen to buy the Electric Ice buttons when they are in stock next week...I have some questions first...

1. I am looking at buying the buttons with the 'standard soft touch switch' and the RGB-Drive ($2.75 + $3.75). Is there anything else I need to buy for the button itself (apart from wire)?

2. Should I be upgrading the switch? (or is a newbie like me not really going to appreciate/notice the difference)

3. Can you buy picture inserts for the buttons (1 player, insert coin etc) ?

4. Does the RGB-Drive come pre-soldered?

Thanks
