I'm just glad that I happened to glance at my email which I don't do all that often after I initially check in the morning.

I presume that CDCC got first crack at these, which is their privilege, but hope that I got in early enough. I'll worry about paying the rent after I get that confirmation email. I got my reply in to CD 12 minutes after they sent.

[Beverly Marsh]

Got both!!!

[Theli]

22 minutes for me...

[TCCBodhi]

OK, Top Ramen and Tap water to drink for me for the next 5 months, but got both! I'm rather excited as this will be my very first (and possibly only Maitz) art that I'll own. (I expect we all know what it is now, and it wasn't marked secret anyway.)

Congratulations to everyone else that got the remarques they wanted, and commiserations if you missed the strangely timed email.

[Tommy]

I was away from my computer at precisely the wrong time.

[TCCBodhi]

Did you get an "Out of stock" notice Tommy?

[Tommy]

Not yet but I think it's on it's way.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Shit! I only just received the email!

[T-Dogz_AK47]

I'm sweating like a fucking pig right now!!!!

[AKC]

Assuming most went for the Maitz 50?

I went for both, but considering how late I am to the party.....

[TCCBodhi]

Well, I'm sending good vibes in your direction and in Mindy's direction that you got yours!

Thanks man, that's appreciated!

Send good vibes to the Penguins to win game 7 tonight!!!!!!
I passed on the art, remarque, etc. I spent enough on The Shining with the artist, gift, and folio. Besides, in a sense, I hopefully helped someone else out who wanted one by not taking one.

The offers in which you guys speak up was offered to all that pre-ordered a copy. Which is pretty much to everyone who ordered considering it's sold out at CD anyway. Good luck all you fiending little collecting addicts!

[T-Dogz_AK47]

To everyone who has already received confirmation from Mindy, how long did you guys have to wait before getting a reply?

I'm watching my inbox like a hawk and it's agonizing!!!!

[AstroDad]

I gave a gift certificate number to pay with and Mindy replied that they would not accept Gift Certificates for this and to respond ASAP with a credit card.

I re-read the initial email and although it references Paypal and credit card, there is no indication you cannot use a GC

I checked the site:

These Cemetery Dance Gift Certificates are good for essentially any book, magazine, work of art, or other collectible we sell in our online store including books from other publishers, special offers like our famous Grab Bags, and even books by authors such as Stephen King, Peter Straub, William Peter Blatty, Justin Cronin, and many others!

Gift Certificates cannot be used to purchase a Gift Certificate. If you use a Gift Certificate to purchase a Gift Certificate, the new code will NOT be issued by the system and you will receive NO Gift Certificate code. Due to the manual work involved to fix the transaction, we will have to charge you a 25% restocking fee on the refund to your original certificate.

Gift Certificates cannot be applied to eBay orders, items we're selling on consignment, and shipping/postage charges.

Nothing there either (although it does say you CAN use them to purchase artwork and special offers).

Is this a known thing before this time? Did I overlook it somewhere? If I did, then mea culpa, but if I end up missing out because I did not respond with a credit card (which I was not planning to have to use, that is why I got the GCs) quickly enough, I will be highly pissed off.

I responded about 28 minutes after I got the email, and she replied asking for a CC instead of a GC an hour and 20 minutes later.

Keep in mind it is after 6pm there, she may have gone home for the night. Not sure if she stays when things like this are going on until it slows?

[Tommy]

I knew you couldn't use GCs for remarques simply because I tried in the past.

These remarques are a relatively new thing they have been offering (in the last couple of years) I think it makes perfect sense that you can't use the GC for this because it isn't their product they are selling. I'm assuming they are forwarding that remarque money to the artists. It doesn't look like they really mark up the remarque costs so I am assuming most of that goes back to the artist. Probably more of a courtesy to the artists and meeting the demands/wishes of their customers.

I doubt that Maitz is accepting CD GC for payment.
