There's also the collector's mentality of "YES I ORDERED FIRST BEFORE YOU HAHAHAHA".HappyDad wrote:It's just to have an idea about the number of orders for a release. imotd3 wrote:Just curious ... what's with the importance of order numbers? I've never once paid attention to my order number.
And they tend to ship things in order of ordering. So the fact that I was ~100 orders behind rsimms3 and his had not yet shipped meant I was probably in for a bit of a wait.
On the plus side, mine have now shipped. Doubt they'll make it to the UK before crimbo though (not that it matters, they were all for ME!).

Well it started off as "does order # x = lottery item?" and then it started helping gauging online sales as per Clem's point. I didn't think we were ever playing "ha ha, I ordered first"...grumblestiltskin wrote:There's also the collector's mentality of "YES I ORDERED FIRST BEFORE YOU HAHAHAHA".HappyDad wrote:It's just to have an idea about the number of orders for a release. imotd3 wrote:Just curious ... what's with the importance of order numbers?

Everyone thinks it... but no one wants to say it. The earlier you order, the better chance you get at scoring a tri. So truthfully, we all want to beat each other for the tri. And yes, I am a sore loser when I don't get a tri.

Received my records today. No tri and the Christmas single didn't even come in a plastic sleeve like the rest.
