Yeah, put your money down in August and you might get your cooler by Christmas. If we can get a trucker lined up, and after that get someone to drive from several states away and haul it back to you.


You have no idea how logistics work.

NC wasn't even the one who initiated the idea of a group buy in the first place. I agree the idea of making decent profit on the grills probably crossed chicken's line. Maybe he they can come to an agreement on advertising where both parties win. However it sounds like NC is pretty busy with things that make him real money so he may drop this chinese buying stuff altogether.

Putting together a design from a green egg knockoff and stated he would start taking orders with a built in profit number of around $60 per grill. How in the world do you think that is not advertising?

While all that is true, this is not the optimal point to decide it is out of bounds.

I’m just glad I got my NC cooler before all these Cucks came out the woodworks...

The dude was "doing a good deed" as the naive point out, when all along he was creating a word-of-mouth network.

What could be better than having a bunch of baws telling all of their buddies "frick yeti, get with this guy for your cooler"?


Doubtful.

1. He'd need a couple hundred orders at a time to be able to fill an entire container

2. Most of his potential customers from this board just stocked up on all the coolers they'll need...significantly less demand going forward

3. Baws might tell their buddies, but how many of those buddies gonna be willing to place an order and wait 3 months on an ice chest, then go through trouble of coordinating picking their order up and possibly having to take off work or make a long drive to get an ice chest?

This was just a cool thing for NC to do as a one-time deal while there was enough interest from posters here to do a group buy.

I guess I get Chicken's side though too bc I just saw a Yeti ad (after Googling Yeti and RTIC multiple times and visiting their websites to see if an ad would come up on TD).

Thanks for allowing this thread and giving some explanation. The majority may not agree with you but at least there was some discussion.

I am a little confused by the replies of some people here. Are they under the impression that what NC did was allowed?

Besides, they have his email and can contact him directly.

i agree. but to play it off on "This is the first time seeing this" come on. he got some complaints from ninnys cause they didnt get in or they drove to NOLA on a whim without conformation on the shipment and threw a tantrum. So he didnt want to have to deal with it and whacked everything.

People like you and chad are the reason I was shocked at NC willingness to take on such a task. Majority of people are cool rational baws who good to deal with. However there is a sizable minority that are irrational jealous sourpusses.

Sad day for the OB.

I can't imagine how they would get that impression considering there were multiple threads 2934723874 pages long over the past 4 months.

I guess you take the good with the bad. These coolers, like koozies and many other past items, had the potential to be a beneficial purchase for many OBers. (Myself included)

I think everyone here can agree though, that this board is better off not looking like craigslist with dozens of BS items for sale.

For now, I'll sit back and hope that my cooler arrives and that one day, long after this clears, NC can have his posting privileges again.
