The learning for me was that I should never announce a product/ kit before I have them in hand and sell out what I have, re-stock and repeat.? No more lists.? I used the list to gauge part purchases in advance to negotiate the absolute best prices for the kits.? The kits, as always, were sold at my cost so the savings by planning went to the buyers.

You know what they say.?? Learn.? Never again.

I suspect the nub of Andy's problem was the list of potential buyers that was run for many months before you understandably decided it was too much effort for too little gain to chase up the people on the list once you had stock available and opened purchase to all comers. I think quite a few on the list thought the list was still active and that you would get to them in time, so didn't respond to your "all comers" invitation, hence didn't actually lodge orders with you. I know I nearly fell into that category.
