Alright, Make a Hole!

So I wanted to clear up some information some of you have been confused about.  First of all, The Airlock Auctions.  This means two different things, one is that we are in the home stretch, the end is coming, Earth is on the horizon.  In other words, these are the LAST AUCTIONS for Battlestar Galactica.  We are looking at 8-10 weeks and then its gone gone gone.  Second, the Airlock Auctions are also about our new store, which will open not this Sunday, but next sunday the 31st.  In the store you will be able to buy an item at a fixed price.  This will be good for all of you guys who get snipe bid at the last moment!  Items in the store will generally be things like Election Ballots, or BSG Laundry bags, Pegasus books, ect.  Lots of good stuff, the but best stuff will be saved for Ebay listing, so dont forget about us!  Items will be added to the store at least three or four times, as it takes us time to get every item photo’d and COA’d and all that, but you guys should have a great selection to choose from!

Secondly, the Cylon War Painting limited print.  We should have the ordering information on our website in the next few days.  The limited edition patches will also be available through the website, and possibly in our ebay store, though we are still talking about that. 

I talked to Curtis, our shipping manager, and he copied me on his first post on the forum (go harass him there, muahahaha! He’s a new fan of the show, isnt that great?!)  and I’m going to post it here for you guys who dont go beyond this page.

From Curtis:

First, I just wanted to thank everybody for their support and patience when it comes to getting your BSG items. I know everybody wants them like yesterday. We have just started to process the Live Auction items today. We have had a few glitches to work out to ensure that there are no mistakes, but should be dialed in by Friday. I am very confident that we will be shipping around 75-100 packages per day by May 26th. This includes the new eBay auctions as well.

Everybody is asking about what gets priority and in which order we will be shipping.

1. Previous eBay auctions will be completely shipped(except for anything that we have COA issues-around 10-15) by May 22th.
2. Live Auction will have priority over the new eBay auctions but we will still have to process eBay(15-30) daily.
3. For Live Auction-for the most part we will be processing by bidder #. Winners of larger items that need crating and freight shipment will be sporatic and towards the bottom of the list. This is so we can get the majority of the other items shipped very quickly. It is really hard to be focusing on so many things at once and this will keep everything organized.

I have the best crew when it comes to shipping! With that being said, there is just 3 of us. Kellie matches the items with the COA’s and invoices. She makes sure that everything is correct. Matt is the expert packer. He double checks to make sure all the items/COA’s match the invoice. Matt then packs everything like his life depended on it. Like I said, THE BEST CREW!

I just have a few requests from all the great BSG fans out there:

1. Please do not email me asking if or when your item will ship. If you have not received a Paypal request for shipping charges, or an email from UPS with tracking info, we have not processed. I am very diligent in answering emails, but these I will just delete. I don’t have the time.
2. A lot of you have asked me to ship items to alternate addresses. So many that I cannot keep track of. So, when you receive your Paypal request, email me immediately after it is paid with the shipping address.
3. Please do not try to contact me through eBay. (Note from Erin: I get these emails on ebay, not Curtis, thats why he asks you not to email him there) I will post my contact info below.

I always do my best to save everybody money with shipping, and for my international friends-brokerage, duty, and taxes. I promise that I will always ship the best way possible. To do this, I take into account price, insurance, and tracking capability.
