| Same here...Sounds like a letter will follow that probably tells me I'm not getting any.
But if I do get an allocation I have more decisions to make. Would be hard to pass, I'm sure the resell $$$'s are great.
Fyi, Parker lists the price at $125 per in the WA but he's been known to be "off" in the past. | | | |

| If you didn't get the same email last year, then your odds are too low to mention. If you did get the email, then you're odds are a bit higher, but still low. For now, I'll content myself with Corra. | | | |

| I only received the "be patient" letter last year so I guess I'm out of luck... | | | |

| No, no. That's the one that I meant! That is good. You've got a 1 in 10 chance now. | | | |

| Got an email. If offered, I'll give it a try one vintage. Not a second. | | | |

Seriously, Dave, thanks for the info  . Just can't help but be a little sarcastic about my 1 in 10 chance to purchase...  | | | |

So you are telling me there's a chance.... I am in the same boat as you. I do not expect an offer unless they double the price (in which case I would want the offer). | | | |

Same here. No way I'll even consider buying unless it's priced in the $250+ region. | | | |

| I too got the very confusing e-mail that doesn't say "sorry, wait 'til next year". Nor does it say: "because the '05 vintage was bigger, we have set some aside for you." Honestly, I have no idea what it means. Something like: "We sold out in 24 hours last year. But if that doesn't happen this year, there may be a nanosecond where you might be able to squeeze in." If that is what they are trying to say, I'm not holding my breath. If I get an offer, and it is really $125, I wil buy. | | | Beta testing a new signature. | |
