Is the current guess that theres about 2000 of these out there?

I think even less... it went on sale at a odd time with no announcement (sunday at like 10am) and was gone within a couple hours

Nothing in Pa

2000 is not a guess as such. There was a thread where people posted their order numbers. mine was the highest and i saw it sold out a minute or two later. the lowest was 3 hrs earlier and almost 2000 before. so the numbers look about right.

cp3iverson

Yeah so its about the same as Benaroya which was 2030 or so.

i got the dreaded "backordered" email after buying mine. no correspondence since then, except the early shipping notice that santos quickly retracted. it arrived in rochester, ny today. found a lightning bolt at the house of guitars today, too.

Go to your order history - using your Sevens Order Number, add a 1 to the end of it. Go on the ups.com website, hit 'track by reference', and select Mail Innovations. Enter your number, and presto! Hopefully you'll see yours arriving soon.

Man, how in the world did you figure this out? Presto is right. Amazing.

So no word yet of a Sevens landing in Europe? Just wondering cause once one lands in Europe, it's another 3 weeks till one arrives on Canadian soil. D'oh!

The really bad party is I broke down and bought one from ebay. The really funny part is I already have it. Which means 10c shipped it to the flipper and flipper mailed it to me via USPS Priority Mail and it got here quicker than a stright mailing from ups innovations... lol...

Recently sold some other goods and then bought one on the auction site that will remain nameless :ar!

Bought one the other day too. Prices are the lowest theyll probably ever be. Once ebay dries up sadly it will climb again.

scurtis

Yeah I bought one too, I think with people starting to get theirs ebay listings have gone up, ones those dry up, prices could go higher.

I heard there have been problems with this set too, people missing records, getting doubles of some other records, any truth to that?

I would agree. When there's loads of copies for sale at the same time the supply keeps the prices down. Once those copies end up in the hands of collectors and they show up on fleabay few and far between, I imagine the price will rise.

Sort of like how benaroya prices have taken a dip both times they were sold at the popup shop. Even if you couldn't get one at the pop up show, the copies being flipped on ebay temporarily drove the price down (under a grand) for a sealed copy. I'm following one auction on ebay and it's already over a grand with 2 days left. I guess prices are rebounding already.

It sucked paying what I did for sevens.... but i figured it would suck more in a few years if it becomes really hard to obtain the price goes insane on it.

Definitely. I was thinking a few months from now when all the copies have propagated around the planet and they start to dry up on ebay. The near term would probably be the best time to buy as flippers will keep posting copies on ebay as they become available in their region. Once all those dry up... then they'll be few and far between.... that won't help the price any.

I'm hoping more & more of these do flood eBay with prices dropping ever so swiftly so by next December's Pop Shop event in Seattle, I will be able to pick up a 2nd copy for under 100 bucks. :-\"
