    Still Believe In Craig & Ed Despite The Recent Revalations

    Ok, so two halves here. One more specific to the specifics of the discussion, and the other to CPU, which is still (partly) on topic. I second all of these questions. And add on the question about specifically how many 7-dayers OPT will continue to sell, because: OPT has never said that they...

    Instant Pandora with a premium?

    You forgot about VAT, there. It's £379 with VAT. Granted, VAT's gone up, but it's a fair bit more that it's gone up, then.

    What's happening today

    And I use his quotes because I'm referring to those, too. You haven't been here long, have you. "Probably" is prone to much flexibility in Craig-speak. And there's no mention of timescale, either. (Never offer Premium Pandoras again? 100 a week?) There's a world of difference between "we...

    What's happening today

    OPT has been saying confusing things for a long time, not least of which are poor, best-case estimates that even in best-case are unreasonable. However, Craig in particular makes very many misleading statements (I think intentionally) that are prone to being interpreted in a multitude of ways...

    Pandora Price Increase!

    Except for the fact that they never said it was just 100 units that they'd do. They said "they might not" not that they "would not". Given Craig talking, that's a world of difference.

    What's happening today

    Oh, I realize that OPT isn't likely to change their ways. But maybe, just maybe, some people here will recognize the issues, and they'll take that wool off of their eyes. And if enough people do, and start asking similar things, it might be enough to get OPT to do something about it. Are you...

    How many were shipped before this month?

    Nor ordered, is how. ED said he wanted to wait to see another big shipment from CC first. Which, at this rate, means they probably won't start until after CNY.

    What's happening today

    I'm confused. You want me to start my own project (and nitpick myself?), another project (and nitpick them), or another thread (and still nitpick OPT)? You think my questions are stupid? Fine. You're entitled to that opinion. But I'll respectfully disagree, and point out that I ask them...

    Instant Pandora with a premium?

    Odd. Past status updates have certainly made it appear longer. But sure. And did the 500 boards end up shipping on Friday, as CC promised? No fear. Just a lack of clarity (uncertainty, if you prefer), which I asked to be re-explained. I'll notice that a question about some even more...

    Instant Pandora with a premium?

    Is that 200 on Tuesday, and 200 on Wednesday? Or does that 400 include the 200 from your picture that are (almost) completely done? Because you had said 150/day, and after the three days (Mon, Tue, Wed), I'd expect closer to 450, though I suppose there's some ramp-up time. Where are all the...

    Pandora Price Increase!

    If there's still going to be a gap, then this will only serve to make the gap bigger.

    What's happening today

    OK. So they don't know if they'll even reach 100. But if they do (in a week) will they stop, or will they continue? That's the question I'm asking.

    Instant Pandora with a premium?

    See here for an in-depth analysis of the numbers. It's only been about 700 this month, according to the status page (1600-900), and I'm pretty sure the "500 this week" was "reaching 550 this week", not "making the full 550 this week".

    Instant Pandora with a premium?

    I agree completely. Past experience with CC has proven them not to be on time, and it's not like we have lots of boards lying around. Why is it that we suddenly believe they'll go faster? Is it more than just their say-so? Last I checked, the quote was "We don't know if we will take more than...

    What's happening today

    Ok, a bunch of stuff that I think needs some more explaining. To start off, I don't like this ambiguity: Could you be more specific, please? You were also "prepared" to say July, but never did. "take more than 100" could mean "allow more than", but could just as easily mean "we don't know...

    Pandora Price Increase!

    Pardon? Remind me... how many Boards does Craig have in the UK? My last estimate was ~250, except a chunk of those (should) have shipped out this week. The next batch of 500 boards was supposed to ship out on Friday (did they?) and will no doubt take a week to arrive in the UK. So, for next...

    'Instant Pandoras': The summary. READ FIRST!

    I agree. So I'll throw in a link to my analysis. I read the whole thread, and am still doing so. And while I can't say it's a "summary" I think it (hopefully) discusses the most pertinent issues the nay-sayers have. Until there are harder facts about the actual process of the 7-dayers, there's...

    Instant Pandora with a premium?

    A hodgepodge of replies: You're right, you do have the parts. But I don't really understand how board number 2256 and 2258 can be for batch 1, but board 2257 can really be "batch 2". I guess I just don't understand how you can be shipping from batch 2, when you're still *making boards* from...

    Instant Pandora with a premium?

    I'm far from convinced that all preorders will be shipped sooner. <His> Pandora was supposed to be the next one sent out. But there's a 7-dayer, in line, too. Who gets it? Doesn't seem straightforward to me. Yes, they do. There are many ways to raise more money. They've talked about investing...
