***4/19/07 International orders shipped- Extras available****
The international orders went out today via USPS. Everyone should have them in approx 7-10 days. I supplied all tracking#'s to US orders today via PM. Everyone except a member in Texas should have their plaques tomorrow according to the expected delivery dates.

I have the extra plaques to sell- not a whole lot. There are very few pink/blue plaques available. A flat $5/each for them plus shipping. If you were involved in the initial purchase they will be a flat $4.50/each plus shipping. PM me if interested. 1st come first served on these.

**** All U.S. orders shipped 4/18/07******
All the plaques for U.S. residents were shipped today via UPS ground. I will have tracking #'s this evening and hope to get them to everyone via PM. The international orders should go out tomorrow via USPS.

***Plaques Received 4/16/07******
I received the plaques today:

***3/26/07-ORDER PLACED**** I spoke with Joe way too much today-lol. He was awesome to deal with as always. I placed the order and sent the good folks at PI our payment today. Joe said 7-10 days for production. I hinted that a picture would be nice when they're done, but it sound like they're really busy. Now we can sit back and wait for the plaques. Ty again to those who participated.*****

**** 3/25/07 UPDATE-BUY CLOSED*** I officially ended the buy. One more person joined in so that they can get their funds in before the order is placed tomorrow morning. A big TY to those who participated in the buy and especially to OTB for doing the design! I'm going to try to get these plaques out to every as safely and quickly as possible.**********

A big ty to TheDuke for finding the thread. The order will be open until 8:00 p.m. EST so anyone interested can still participate.

I just did a search for bellagio and found this - which, correct me if I'm wrong, is the thread you are referring to:

http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/palmim...light=bellagio

The PI forum and it's threads still exist - they've just been removed from the Market Place tab.

Ty for finding it for me, but I think I have good reason to be irked. If you read the thread I asked for it to me moved to the Group Buy section once Joe wasn't going to be a sponsor. This wasn't done for whatever reason by a mod. Common courtesy would have indicated that I'd be advised of a move of the thread, but common courtesy isn't important on this site obviously.

Sounds great PD!! Thanks for stepping up and handling all the issues with this GB. Can't wait to get my hands on these! You did get my work address on Broadway to ship to, right? I will need to control the entrance of these bad boys into the house if ya know what I mean. Can't have them showing up at home on their own. LOL

I completely understand. I promised the good folks at PI I won't bother them again until next week. Joe said he'd keep me updated with any progress, so I'll post anything I find out. PI has been awesome to deal with during this buy.
