If there were other power buyers (for the benefit of other TFAD'ers and CTT's and or other Cars' groups) people with Jeff, let me know asap. I have a SDCC and D 23 post going out today and need their contact info.

If they are / were powerbuyers, let me know their contact info so I can add this to my post today.

I just finished reading through this from the beginning….I hope everyone gets to read this UPS and DOWNS as powerbuying is NOT easy.
The purchase limits and not having the items to striking gold when they do show up.
Not to mention the time it takes to get this organized and re organized and re-re-re organized…. drive time, loading…unloading…the car at the venue…loading the car to and from hotel motel room, packing up to go home, unpacking at home, sorting orders, boxing orders, printer ink, tape, boxes, paypal fees, aspirin, coffee, sending out notices, ANSWERING EMAILS, sending out updates, you have ZERO time left.
Jeff and maybe other power buyers have kids, that takes time too. I do not have kids, just critters.
hopefully your guys' buyers will give you the time you need to have.
Kudos Guys…. Kudos

This news…wow. So is there a reason you are helping even though people can order by phone?

DJ: Even though SOME items can be ordered after SDCC and D 23 in past years….by phone or after party sales online…
There is comfort knowing that there is people (collectors) who bust their behind and get them IN HAND for others. Keeps ebay prices down and PERSONAL SERVICE.
Personal service from a fellow collector – Tfad'er to me is a premium. Thats why I started to go to SDCC every year. Too many people wanted something and not alot of people would "commit" to a buying trip for more than "a few" items here and there.
being a type A personality… I said: THATS IT. I am going.
THIS IS WORK. Hardly a vacation.
I did not buy any of these sets from Jeff or Juan, I do not have the room anymore, but as a power buyer I know this stuff first hand.

I called the phone number to try to order and they told me they were not available to purchase by phone, only available in person. Have you heard of someone being able to get them by calling?

Shelby said Jestrjef is awesome. He is always looking to help others without trying to make a buck (as demonstrated by a surprising email I received this morning). He is honest and trustworthy. You're a class act, Jazzy! MVP!!!
I'm also getting my sets from jestrjef, and totally agree with Shelby!! Your awesome Jeff!!

Thank you for the praise. I am happy to help. I hope this encourages other members to reach out and help the TFAD family if a super cool event like this were to show up near them!! All emails have been replied to. Round 2 is well under way!

I too was at the event on Friday, but we had to fly back home to Ohio on Saturday. I was told I could call the Merchandise line to order but found out today that's not true. Does anyone have 2-3 extra sets they could sell or pick up for me? Hit me up at steverobertshomeATgmailDOTcom. Thanks!

This is an amazing story of altruism. Truly! I can imagine all too easily the pressure this kind of maneuvering would place on a person responsible for ALL those orders. Hat's off to you. But is it too late to place an order for round two? How would I get in touch with someone?

Hey there,
I sent you a message last night, Jestrjef, thanks!
(At least, I hope it sent to you and not a misspelled email; anyone else who'd receive it would think I was nuts. Was a bit giddy last night at the prospect of seeing these. Ha ha.)
