Re: EDP in europe - freeing 350 warehoused units

["David" <vze2ncsr@verizon.net>]

The best way I know to encourage Gibson to move forward is to show DEMAND
for these units - i.e show guaranteed $$$sales.

A few years ago a pile almost complete EDP were in a California warehouse.
Here's what we did:

1) Compiled a list of over 100 people who all committed to buy an EDP if
(back then) they were completed;
2) Politely contacted Gibson with the list to let them know about the pent
up demand;
3) Coordinated w/1 Retailer to take orders from this LoopersDelight list
(simplifying Gibson's shipment/billing process w/orders in 1 place)
4) Politely thanked Gibson again.

Perhaps someone in Europe could do something in along these lines?
