Rybags Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Nice that he seems to have sold 2 over there, after people here payed (and are still waiting) yet the ones there arrived just weeks later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyLucke Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Maybe he's just slow? Or should i be worried about my money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I believe Zaxon will honour all of his obligations - eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Last note from zaxon said he would have the first run done this month, he still has some time left Don't start growing grey hairs just yet, there's a few of us waiting for ours too Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaxon Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Work in progress, all SIDE be delivered Of happiness or unhappiness had no job so I can speed up assembly and shipping SIDE and other devices. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEtalGuy66 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Give the guy a break. I got my side cart after about 4 months.. I had no problem with that. When I took pre-orders for the first MIOs, it was over a year before anyone (except a few developers) got one... Noone in here owns a mass production plant. We all have lives to live and normal responsibilities to maintain along with those lives. When you commit your money for a home-brew product/project, you should understand this. The price for SIDE is very low considering the complexity of the design. Look at what consumer charged for the SDRIVE-NUXX, for instance. That was a much simpler design. The extra money he charged enabled him to produce it more quickly by paying for various services that would otherwise be very time consuming, and also to substantiate some of his own time expenditure. Zaxxon has elected to keep cost as low as possible. This is reality, folks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I fully understand, having participated in such project purchases before. It's just the aforementioned lack of feedback plus apparent queue jumping of later sales that was a bit grating. We have some feedback now... so on with the show.

DyLucke Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 No worries then Zaxon! Take your time. However it would be a good idea to have people informed eventually about what's going on. Hope you got the cash and the order was placed properly. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I don't think that the delays are a problem for people, just not hearing any news or updates for weeks on end makes people nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu Pohjanlehto Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Zaxon: Can you send me tracking code of ultrasatan you shipped on December? And also mark it as sended in Google Wallet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wood_jl Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Work in progress, all SIDE be delivered Good enough for me! Thanks for the update, Zaxon! No problem waiting, just like to hear once in a while. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+rdemming Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I don't think that the delays are a problem for people, just not hearing any news or updates for weeks on end makes people nervous Indeed. They same thing was happening with the 7800XM project. Because there was no news for months people started getting worried and complaining. But the developer took note of the critics and now there is regulary a status update. With the status updates, now people know what is happening and are not complaining anymore even when delays are accumulating due to upcoming problems.

Alsoi waiting on an XM7800 - I was in the 1st batch of pre-orders. Can't wait for thtat to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockdoc2010 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I am very interested in the Item!. I do need to know if this would be compatible with an internally mounted IDE device from atarimax. Is the item still probable or has it been produced and no longer available? Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I am very interested in the Item!. I do need to know if this would be compatible with an internally mounted IDE device from atarimax. Is the item still probable or has it been produced and no longer available? Douglas Which item are you talking about? SIDE or one of the other projects someone just mentioned? If you are talking about SIDE... it's still being made. Pre-orders for the 2nd batch are being taken (check the thread for the link) but he's still trying to fulfill orders for the first batch which started pre-orders many months ago. The 2nd batch won't even start to ship until AT LEAST the 15th of January, if that early. I have no idea about compatibility with the internal IDE interface, someone else will have to answer that.

flashjazzcat Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 SIDE with aftermarket XE grey button: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Well, i ordered a SIDE device from Zaxon a few days ago and paid for it, but i didn't get any response from him so far. I order an ultra Satan from him about five weeks ago. I understand he hand makes these things and he quoted me 4-6 weeks delivery. That's fine. I just hope he can get it delivered in or very close to that window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Firedawg Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Any updated shipping information on orders placed last July? Still very patient, but would like to stay current with status of this project. Has anyone received their SIDE lately? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Last status update said the plan was to have the remaining orders shipped by end of January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
