And whenever again you buy a hobby made product, from a group of hobbysts, then dont ever expect professional class service. You made a wrong assumption. |

Ok, let me explain. Last time I have build 200 cards and all of them are gone in matter of days, now I m building 200 more. Cards sent to AmigaKit were from first batch so they waited to get them like anyone else.
@kirk_m I have send you mail explaining why my country is on black list, well it is not my fault. |

I realise being the one that ends up between two chairs in a transition period is never fun, but on a big picture scale, this change is good for everyone. Like everyone else, it took months between ordering and shipping, but thats a faint memory now, and I now focus on the positive sides of having a Vampire. |

Do I understand it well that Vampire that costed 300 Eur now costs 300 GBP?

are there plans to support other shops or is it based on their initiative and amigakit is the only one, who expressed enough interest, so far? |

@grond - I paid on the 29th March for a Vampire v500 v2+
TODAY majsta told me that I will just have to wait... 'Demand is too high' So why send an email saying your card is ready and please pay asap!?! |
When I paid for my card on March 31th I was told one was allocated for me which I took to mean it would be built to order for me. Delivery time frame was within 3 months and I would receive tracking info upon request.
So I have a little over a month more to wait for shipping according to that communication. I understand Amiga Kit may have paid for and been waiting since before March31st, but it felt like the end user customers who purchased them yesterday have essentially "Cut the line at the grocery store". I'm in agreement that prepaid end users agreements should have been fulfilled prior to retail fulfilments in this case because it just feels bad. But I've slept on it and... In the end, it comes down to this. Those who needed it ASAP resorted to the highest prices via ebay. Those who needed it now resorted to an elevated price via Amiga Kit. Those who wanted it for the lowest possible price (me) just have to wait longer. I was pretty pissed off last night to know these orders have been fulfilled for 200 end users and they'll have their cards within 10 days or so. But after sleeping on it, I realize it's just my impatience and low funds I'm frustrated with. Like waiting for christmas when you have a bunch of Jewish friends I suppose. *shrugs*. Just thought I'd voice that. And if it gets hung up in Customs for a month, I won't have it in hands until the end of July, assuming it ships out on time. So there's that. |

No card has been sent, basically he said demand is too high and he is working on the next batch.

Guys, please, make peace with the idea that this accelerator is made by two guys on the time they have available, which seems rather little.
If you really want this thing, and to support its creators, stop being "pissed off" about it. Because you know what is gonna happen if people keep complaining like this? Vampire will cease to exist, or at least, the two guys working on them constantly right now, will quit it, and it will all go in limbo. Please try to change the way you think about purchasing one of these and, more importantly, the way you express yourself about this frustration. Best case scenario, you shouldn't be frustrated at all. It's not like ordering from a high street store. There are waits involved, advance payments you have to do with a "leap of faith", and errors and overwhelmed makers trying to build as many of these as they can while juggling their everyday activities in real life too. As a comparison, I waited a shit ton of time for my first 1541 Ultimate II from the moment I placed my order and also a bunch of months after payment for my second one after I had just missed a production run. I never complained, and I am very happy with my devices. And these are manufactured by a factory in China nowadays, yet still there is this one guy trying to deal with it all in his spare time. Perhaps for the Apollo Team, there's some advice here too, regarding communication. Like, saying "your card is ready" but not currently having one, is confusing and I understand why people would get upset. So a simple change of wording could ease off a lot of stress for them. Anyway, I think everyone needs to cool off a little bit before this gets bad :( |
Total agree with Akira.
