14

A blemished one popped up on GC about a week ago. i cancelled my original order and snapped that one up real quick. saved a few dollars and got a brand new mint machine with original warranty and everything. i inspected the unit with a sharp eye, and the only thing i could find is what looks like an eyelash or arm hair under the LCD screen in the lower corner. hardly noticeable. I can definitely live with that. In my experience with orders that are on backorder, the units aren’t going to ship until you either forget about them, or right after you get your refund and buy something else (like the Tanzbar I was eying up). That was why I jumped on the blemished unit even though the original April 7 ship date was only a few days away. I looked on GC website today just for shits and giggles and see that now the ship date is pushed back to April 14. Basically, they have no idea when they will ship. I suggest trying to contact Elektron directly, or their main US distributor, or main distributor in your country and tell them that you already paid for the unit and want to know when you are going to have it. And if they can’t give you a straight answer - fuck em, and spend your money on something else. Lots of other kool hardware out there for 1300$. Also, used OT’s pop up often, and for much cheaper. Never beg anyone to take YOUR money bruh.
