ebay buy it now is a good idea for these short run items. especailly if you are marketing the toy by the limited qty. I am sure some people today were buying for that rare quality and not for their growing skullman collection.


Okay, I am going to see what we can do. The fricken' Zodiac Box is going to be just as limited as these guys were... so I can just see the pending nightmares. I will talk to the bossman about about the eBay idea.

Is the Zodiac Killer figure going to become available soon as well?


It is coming end of the month.

I appreciate that, thanks.

I have just been told that if I use a service like LinkPoint or AuthorizeNet then the checkout time will only be about 5 seconds which would significantly cut down on the problems I think. Though, if there was a crazy rush, I guess a lot of figures could sell in that 5 seconds!

We are also considering not giving anymore hints as to what time we will be putting stuff up. That should cut down on traffic, but will surely piss everyone off, am I right?
We would still announce what day, but just not get anymore specific than that.

Oh man, I can't believe we are trying to think of ways to slow down our sales!!! :roll:

Scape,

Thanks for all the sincere attempts to hook us up.

Don't feel bad, yours is not the only site to oversell hot toys!

Having some kind of idea when your toys will get listed would be great, though!

Like when on January 4th? It's ok to list Toronto time and let us do the math!!! :D :wink:

What about a random drawing? You could give people a window of time to sign up (24 hours) and then you do a random drawing. Advantage:Everyone ahs an opportunity
Disadvantage: Additional work for you, would allow more flippers to join in the drawing, people can set up fake email accounts for more chances,

just a thought.

I was thinking that too, I mean it is usually an un-popular idea among some, but it's fair and takes the head ache off of you Scape.

The eBay idea is sounding pretty good to me now. Hopefully we will get something going soon that will correct this problem.

Have you guys been getting email confirmations after your purchase goes through?
They seem to not be getting sent.

But, please don't worry. All orders are going through fine and everyone who placed an order so far is getting one!

Okay, something is truly fucked with the confirmation emails. If you worry that your order didn't go through, log in to your SxWxW account and check your order status. If it's all good... then she's all good! If not... email me.
