FTLOP: UK & USA OFFERING OF FLADGATE PARTNERSHIP MAGNUMS

Post by Roy Hersh »

In many ways this will be a limited offering of Magnums for both the UK (and folks from the EU who can order from there) and USA through specific retail channels. Although this is 24 hours away from release ... I am considering one last question and would like your input.

Subscriber's Only ... or open to all FTLOP'ers? I'll go with the majority's decision from this thread, over the next 24 hours.

Note: Although I've been working on this for months, I've had little input in price negotiations which is a rarity with these type of offerings.

I truly appreciate the feedback on the question and hope you will share your view. :salute:

I would vote for subscribers only, but if the offer doesn't sell out within - say - a week then open the offer up to all FTLOP members.

+1. Give subscribers the first shot, and then if there is anything left open it up to all FTLOP members.

I don't think so, Russ. Your name doesn't have the little :ftlop: icon next to it in the right-hand panel (underneath your avatar) that designates subscribers.

I can't believe the quality of the offer. How did you manage to achieve that! I've ordered as much as I can - sorry folks. I was the first to order and now they've sold out on both sides of the pond.

I did not look at it as a "teaser" and trust me when I tell you that only one person subscribed to be able to buy in, so it is not like there's a real "motive' behind the thread. [shrug.gif] However, I am thrilled that at least one person is happy! [cheers.gif] ... er, now at least there's two.

I would have subscribed anyways once I knew I was missing out! The only reason I didn't earlier is it was damn hard to collect port without a place to put it. Now I got a place and I am 100% ready to ensure I get my 59 bucks back! (and learn a lot in the process). :D

Tom, you should have received an email with the details of the offer. This email should have been sent to the address you have registered with ftlop.
