It's officially the end of October...

"At the end of the month, you will receive notice from the factory as to whether or not your order has been accepted and will be processed."

Halloween? Bah. It's CHRISTMAS!!! Time to see if we'll get something in our Christmas box or if it's filled with coal....

[Uncle_Lee]

It ain't the end until midnight..

[MR_22]

It ain't the end until midnight..

Ah, but by then, it will be November and no longer the end of October! Besides, who gonna work until midnight on Halloween at the NAA factory?

[Bj]

Does that mean we will be notified by midnight?

Everyone if it was up to me

Perhaps I should retract that comment in case Jessica sees it  and bumps me to the end of line, by that time my Credit Card will have expired in 2022, so I'll never get one

[Warthog]

Well, I will wait for my confirmation or denial.

[MR_22]

Does that mean we will be notified by midnight?

I have no idea. I'm guessing probably not. I'm pretty high on the "post count list" and I haven't heard anything yet, so that either means they haven't sent out notifications or somehow my order didn't actually go through, LOL. I never did make it down to the factory to check. I've also checked my spam email box and nothing there, either.

[smokeless joe]

I'm pretty sure that when the emails go out there will be a thread saying. I GOT MY CONFIRMATION EMAIL and then we will all be checking our inboxes for that golden ticket.

I sense the fear of rejection in the forum. We will be split into groups: the chosen and the rejected. Some will be forgotten, others exalted. There will be those with the thrill of victory, and some wallowing in the agony of defeat. There will be the parade of champions, and the Dead Man Walking laments. And there . . . .  Ah, just shut up.  I hope it only lasts for a day.   Until the witch hunt for the guy selling on Gun Broker.

[grayelky]

While there may be R II's showing up on gunbroker, I can tell you for a fact about 2 that will not be there!

[naabug]

Best of luck to every one.

EB, no EB, it's just a matter of time to get one.

  I've been gone for a week or so and see MR_22 has become Global Moderator does this mean you can fix some problems with some Chinese orders on E-Bay for me ? Or are you affiliated with the State Department in some capacity ?

ROFL. Global is being generous. I can only moderate this specific board, nothing else. I can't help you with China! However, eBay customer service is VERY GOOD moderating issues with sellers. I've used it a few times and have been very satisfied. I actually buy from China on eBay all of the time, as well as Thailand occasionally.

BTW, this moderator status is nothing new. I've had that for years. At one point the NAA board manager was going out of town for a couple weeks for vacation and asked me to watch the board. (I actually knew this guy in "the real world" before he was hired at NAA.) Nowadays I occasionally manage posts, mostly when I see an unapproved message to which I want to reply, but for the most part, I leave the moderating to whomever is in charge of it at NAA, who is not the same person who asked me to help a few years ago.

[redhawk4]

October has gone, so now it's no longer the end of the month, so if they were going to let us know at the end of the month they can't do that any more!!! So I guess no one's getting a Ranger II - it was all a cruel hoax   

Don't let your anxiety and paranoia get the better of you I'm sure we'll all have one soon.

[Ruger]

. . . . . . . I'm sure we'll all have one soon.

Oh Boy, we're all gonna get laid!

[smokeless joe]

Easier for some. Harder for others 😄

Darvell ................................ you gotta know I was pulling your leg , right .  If not I'm sorry your wearing a prosthesis , ha . 

[cfsharry]

Good things come to those who wait.

Oh, of course! I didn't actually expect that you thought I could actually help with your Chinese eBay purchases. I tend to overthink things and write too much. ROFL.

It's like the quote from Mark Twain: "I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead." It doesn't take me long to compose a LOOONG response, but it does take time to trim it down to a short one. I can never seem to limit my responses to just a short comment. (See how long I'm taking to respond this time? Hehe. )

[gofishr]

Well November 1st ,, we're still waiting ,Ranger 2,,,,

[lign]

Now it's November 2nd. At least in my time zone. Where's the neeeews?

[Uncle_Lee]

Take it easy, Take it easy

[smokeless joe]

Take it easy, Take it easy




OHMMMM

[Ruger]

I can only imagine the pressure on Jessica at this point.  Let's give her some breathing room.  We ain't gonna get one this week anyways.
