fyi there wont be a status attached, orders will be deleted as they are fulfilled. zach has mentioned this a bit earlier in this thread

You are right! Must have missed that post. It does appear a few of the sets got deleted from the Auteur sheet today so I guess they have started shipping or will very soon!

Was this as fast as the first round? I don't remember how long they took to sell through

Are there any pictures of the sets that got chosen by the folks caught up in the double purchase snafu?

Most of them were blue - it seems like that's been a popular color. Noted as we make more batches!

We have a LOT of sets in the near shipping stage and we will continue to ship on just about every day that Fed-Ex works. We will try to provide some kind of update on the order sheet if we find the time.

Not surprising, it's the color I wanted (Requiem). Just out of curiosity, what was the first set that sold when they flipped live last night?

Are there any limitations on what colors you can do?

I believe Miele went first. But it's impossible to know how many people were trying to get that one and switched to another, or got their first choice or not etc etc.

We had a couple people who emailed and were dismayed that they had the one they wanted in their cart but then weren't able to get it and suggested we have a time limit for someone to check out after they get the headphone in their cart. It's impossible for us to do the sale that way, as for a small business like us it would be a logistical nightmare. As people would buy a set that was their 2/3/4th choice thinking the desired set that was in someone else's cart was sold, would then purchase another set, and then after their purchase would see the set that they wanted wasn't purchased and still on the site - and we'd have to do a ton of back end work with lots of people to make sure everything was fair.

So in closure, first person to pay and buy each set is just the fairest way to do things.

Probably!? It's so hard with wood, because you can use the same exact double dye techniques and stabilization on two different pieces of wood - and they could come out totally differently.

Hope Zach doesn't mind me posting these, but here are the two I was hoping for and the one I ended up with (Stella Blue) - no bad choices, I would have been happy with any of about 8 of the sets.




Kudos to Zach & Bevin for the way the ordering snafu was handled, and the option of a full refund for those affected was always on the table.

For unique one-off items such as these, there's always going to be some inherent unfairness based upon first-to-complete-transaction.

No wonder I didn't see any blue ones this drop.

I think there were two and they were gone in seconds

Yeah, there were a ton of green ones this set.

Oh my. That Eye of the Tempest...
Do yourself a favor and open the full high-resolution image, then zoom in on the "eye". Maybe you'll get lost like I did.

I see that chip on the paint though! It distracted me
