+DZ-Jay Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) We've all been spoiled using online methods of payment, as it allows buying things at the click of a button... Yeah, it's the 21st Century. Intvnut, the mom-and-pop local cheese-maker and candle-maker merchants in my town that sell hand-crafted goods one at a time in the farmer's and community markets use Square for credit card processing. Is that a viable option to consider? (I don't know, I've never taken card purchases, but it seems to be very popular.) -dZ.

Greg2600 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'll wait for level up to have them. Is there a limit to their stock, or you're simply fulfilling them directly anyhow? I'd also give thumbs up to square. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk I can't speak for LTO but it sounds to me like they will have physical stock and that it isn't simply drop shipped from CA.

zander21510 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 It's a shame about the Paypal thing, but I understand. It's better to do it this way, than to do it for like 5 days and have PayPal invalidate your orders and possibly take money out of our pockets. And all credit card payment options take off a fee between 3-5%. I set my uncle up with Square...I think it's an in-person payment option only. I would say take a look at Bitcoin...but it's tough to convert between bitcoin and "real" currency, not to mention how volatile the value gets. If you knew somebody really savvy with it though. I'll likely wait for the online ordering...but it sounds like everyone's doing that so I wonder how much stock they'll have to fulfill orders... Still very excited though! This won't stop someone who really wants one from buying one. Now I can play all those super rare games & ECS games my brother is a baseball nut, so I'm thinking the ECS world series baseball will be one of the ones I play first!

First Spear Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Congratulations on the release! Nothing more to say, except "thank you"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntyPod Burgertime Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 OK folks! I've put the ordering information at the official website: http://ltoflash.leftturnonly.info/ The TL;DR version: For direct purchases: Send check or money order to me. (My address is at the website.) Soon (hopefully within a week), Level Up Video Games in Santa Cruz will have these available for online ordering. If you are in the area, you can stop in and purchase one now! Soon (also hopefully within a week), RetroGameShop in Germany will also have these available for online ordering within Europe. We're just waiting for them to get to Europe. If you are interested in bulk orders to resell (20+), please contact me. Because of my retail engagements, I can not honor serial number requests. That said: I have held back serial numbers 1 through 25. I am working on a special edition that should be available by PRGE, perhaps sooner. Shipments on direct purchases will go out in batches. I have a day job, so I'll be packing stuff for shipping on the weekends. I do have some downloadable goodies planned as well. I just haven't had a chance to get them completely polished and on the website. I don't see a point delaying the release for those, though. They'll be just as fun later. One last detail: The manual PDF is on the website. It's "web optimized" (for faster download), and so is not the same quality as the printed manual. The printed manual is very sharp, while the web-optimized version has some noticeable JPEG compression artifacts on some of the screenshots. I may have to tweak that a bit to balance download size vs. quality. If we sent you a PM with a picture of the filled out check (ready to send out to you), and an address, could we get our order shipped out in the first batch?

Games For Your Intellivision Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 what about emailing you the money? are you set up to do that? I know that Canada has 'Interac'.....I wonder if there is something similar in the USA, or if you can send money to Americans through Interac?

mr_me Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 According to their website, you can send money with Interac e-transfer internationally if it is offered by your bank. It goes through Western Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intymike Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 That may depend on one or both of the banks involved. Sounds strange to me. You know, you can send money all over Europe from any account and bank to another (and in my case for free). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I believe I can just go online to my bank and use billpay to mail a check. Not much easier than that. Edit: Just sent the check direct from my bank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroAl Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 A PayPal option would have been nice. Going to bank at noon for a US money order. Didn't know you could still get those. Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emubastard Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Bank Check, Guaranteed Funds for 2 LTO Flash's in the mail guaranteed by 3:00pm Thursday 9/2/2016. I have no idea why I felt I needed to announce this? Someone said something about writing checks and PM'ing pictures? Go get a bank check... it's guaranteed funds. Makes things happen faster. Thank you for not being an SGM debacle. Edited September 1, 2016 by emubastard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
