Seems the opposite should be expected here.
Here we are asking for a "deal" and you expect a business to drop what they are doing, put aside everyone they already are serving at full price, and load their system with a bunch of people unwilling to wait for a good thing.
Maybe Bud has some big orders to fulfill and he is trying to secure them before committing to a Group Buy. Maybe he is trying to get a bulk steel order quote and see how great of a deal he can pass on, maybe he is just busy and needs a few days.
If you cant wait- pay full price and i bet youll get some immediate service.
Otherwise, may be in your best interest to be grateful Bud is even considering a "deal", and be patient.
If it was me and i saw a bunch of ungrateful, spoiled punks that thought they were entitled to a deal here on this post, i would blow it off and wait for them to pay full price.
I assure you Budbuilt has a good, thriving business and does not need to give away product. If we get a deal, he is doing it as a favor to us.
