I think what Jer meant was he missed out the 1st time like a lot of us so he had extra motivation for another run.  No doubt he secured a set or two from this last run!

Jer,

You're winning me back with all you efforts!  I was an avid Shelby forum/part follower early on but the last 2 years (before you) have been a distaster.  All your work with making products avialable again is really noticable and making Shelby a force again.

Thanks for everything,

Jeff

This is so annoying.  Same thing happened to me last time.  I don't check the site for a week and it's the week this stupid program is announced and closed.  Once again no rims for me and if I want to track a set down it's through a huge up charge through a "dealer".  Same problem the opry is having, people buy up the inventory to create a scarcity prematurely.  I'm thinking about giving up.....

All this did was allow people to put a deposit on a set of wheels. Hang in there, someone will back out. Jer also alluded that there may be some wheels available to the general public after all the pre orders are dealt with.

Yup, exactly. I deliberately stopped the pre-order early enough to have breathing room.
BTW, this site wasn't the only place we announced them - we emailed the announcement to over fifteen thousand people, including every member of Team Shelby.

This is so annoying.  Same thing happened to me last time.  I don't check the site for a week and it's the week this stupid program is announced and closed.  Once again no rims for me and if I want to track a set down it's through a huge up charge through a "dealer".  Same problem the opry is having, people buy up the inventory to create a scarcity prematurely.  I'm thinking about giving up.....

No, this was NOTHING like that, actually:

Dealers who purchased the pre-sale have no "upcharge" I've seen.
We have announced ALL ALONG that these wheels WILL be in stock later, but in a limited amount - this was just to "lock up" a set. A reservation. I even made it refundable, just a "good faith" deposit.
We emailed over FIFTEEN THOUSAND people at 6am on Monday. Are you a member of Team Shelby? We even emailed the list of people who signed up for our email list while visiting the museum as tourists! And the dealers found out the same time as everyone else. 6am Monday, when my whole team came in early to man the phones.

Don't bring up the music business, I'm well aware of it. Retail customers got over 80% of this wheel pre-sale  - Do you think Ticketmaster, AEG, or LiveNation can even REMOTELY touch that number?????
We LIMITED the amount a wholesaler could pre-order, ya think any act would do THAT at any venue? BTW, wheels are wheels. It's not like "front row" vs. "bleacher seats".


Re-think, please.
