    Very upset — UTC vs UK time

    Well, I was prepared to buy a Baby Dreadnought in just 15 minutes from now — only to discover here that ordering has already closed. I had asked “Alexa” to keep me primed for “1400 UTC” rather than “1400 London time.”

    So I missed it again. If anyone wants to resell their Baby Dreadnought, I will happily pay £125 above the regular sale price.

    Very sad.

    To think, ordering was going to open now as I type this.

    They will be open for sale in the future again right? Or last batch or something?

    Should be able to get them next month unless they sold out today.

    They're all saying 'In Stock' again. I guess Eddie put a cap on today's sales.

    Sorry to hear you missed out - that's frustrating as hell. It's happened to me a couple times so I feel your disappointment.

    Nope! I’m wrong, see Eddie's update (separate thread). All Blacks are gone and most of the White and Expedition, too.

    I never crease to be amazed at the limitless capacity of "Tech" to let you down when you try and rely on it ...

    A pox on Bezos LOL

    I have one LNIB here in the US that I would sell to you cheaper than your offer price.

    [mention]jbravo [/mention] - just saw your message, and I’ am grateful you took the time to post. But the good news is that I finally did locate a Baby Dreadnought ... which completes my collection ... In the pic: the original vintage PRS-2 Dreadnought at left, PRS-21 Dreadnought GMT at right, and the new Baby Dreadnought cradled in the middle.
