The World Through One (Crappy) Lens - Game On! (Nikon Only)

[DScience]

When I get the check in the mail, I am going to change the game up a bit. I'm willing to fork over my $10 payment, and send it with the lens in the box. Thus from now on the $10 should be sent WITH the lens, and hopefully it will speed up the process quicker.

I guess I kind of figured people would communicate and send the $10 for shipping in advance instead of waiting until after the fact.

:meh:

Life happens... it'll all work out.

Regardless how it's done, it all comes down to the two individuals involved. Someone could get the $10 and spend it just as easy as not having it to begin with.

In the future I'd like to ask all individuals involved to be prepared, you're name and the status is updated regularly so you should have enough notice when you'll need $10.

Talk with the person before you and the person after you, heck - do it today. Get acquainted, figure out how you're going to handle the swap. You don't need to wait until it's crunch time.

I guess I don't really get the whole $10 thing. It seems like a delay, but more then that a waste of time. If everyone just paid to ship to the next person, it would still get around.

I fail to see what is so difficult about this but I'll chalk it up to new project kinks. The first photo was posted by me on December 28th, since then we've had one other post.

1. You know when your time is coming.
2. It's agreed that the lens will move along in no longer than one week.
3. People need to communicate.
4. Regardless of how each individual decides to handle the transaction, it's got to move along much faster than it has.

We have a lot of people on the waiting list and at this point I'm holding off adding more until I see that this can be more successful.

Did DScience post up his shot yet? I see two shots of the lens, but none with it.

 

[PhotoXopher]

Nope, nothing yet... some killer shots of the lens though I have to say. Going to see if I can use one for the flickr page 'logo'.

Tim, you need a ban. Posted reported for spam.

Its $10 people. If everyone ships to the next person it will be fine. Im not seeing why such a small amount is holding this up so long.

Look on the bright side you are supporting the United States Postal Service. Consider it a donation.

Just my .02

Hi Folks,

I apologize for being the bottleneck. Life has taken a sh!tty turn around here and I have let many things slip. The ten-spot is on its way to Danny and I promise to turn the lens around quickly when I get it.

My online time has been severely limited lately, but I'll make sure to the get a pic uploaded and the lens sent on quickly.

It happens, thanks for the update Pugs! I hope life takes a better turn for you soon.

 

[Dominantly]

The mailing of the $10 seems like a potential bottleneck.

I still don't see what's wrong with just paying to ship when you go to the post office?
