Thank God.Yeah man. One of them was pretty involved with the whole process. He let Vertex know, but otherwise kept it to himself.
Anyways. That's all behind everyone, thankfully! I'm so glad to see some real progress being made! Hopefully the long wait (which was really pretty short considering the scope of the project) will be worth it!
I’m getting truly excited. May even relist my eBay listing. It was getting embarrassing listing and then removing it from eBay over and over whenever it seemed we were “close”.
The cool part is that any I sell can be shipped directly from Vertex. It’s a win-win in that I’m not pushing Vertex for all 24 of mine at once so they can get more indivual Beta Testers that have stuck it out satisfied. As well as the time and dollar savings in shipping these to me and then me shipping them out individually as I sell them. Plus, who knows how long it will take me to sell the 21 I have left available?
If it really delivers all they’ve promised, I think the demand will be huge world wide. But I also understand that it’s gonna take a minute to rebuild consumer confidence and some people are so ticked that they’ll never come back and talk **** to however will listen going forward.
Lots of lessons in this for any business owner. I’ve talked to Jason (the owner of Vertex) and this is truly his passion project. I hope it pays off for him. I’ve never personally met anyone so driven to be the best no matter the cost or perceptions along the way. And Engineer through and through (for better or worse! Ha!)
