I certainly hope every effort is made to ensure that those people that are
on "the list" have first crack at purchasing a hammer.
What is to keep someone besides those STer's from snapping up a bunch of them,
before "the list" people have all had a chance to get one?
Some people may not check in here all that often, but probably expect that
their intent to order would be honored.
I hope no one gets screwed.
Also, if I paid X number of dollars extra for serial #123 for example,
and I got "outbid", then what number would I get? Some random number?
Should I have submitted a 2nd and 3rd choice? Can I still?
I would definitely want another choice instead of another number being decided for me.

Shack...
1. Please feel free to drop me a line with back-up number choices.
2. I know Ed H. sent an e-mail to everyone on the HWL (Hammer Want List) so even if they don't spend every waking moment on ST hopefully they will know what is happening.

We are moving along at a nice clip!
As we hit the 24 hour mark (since sales began) we have sold over 40% of the hammers.
The good news is that means there are still some left for those just discovering this opportunity.

Mtucker... you have identified the system used by others!
One point I want to make clear... the hammers have ALREADY BEEN NUMBERED So please do not request 1,298 or π... I you REALLY have an itchin' for a special number, please pick from numbers between 001 and 277.
The hammer team will do their very best to accommodate all requests.

GOOD NEWS There are still some hammer numbers left with zero bids that have quite special numbers!
Here is a smattering of examples:
15: 15 is the smallest composite number n with the property that there is only one group of order n.
24: 24 is the largest number divisible by all numbers less than its square root.
35: 35 is the number of hexominoes.
92: 92 is the number of different arrangements of 8 non-attacking queens on an 8×8 chessboard.
120: 120 is the smallest number to appear 6 times in Pascal's triangle.
157: 157 is the smallest number with φ(2n+1) < φ(2n).
199: 199 is the 11th Lucas number.
245: 245 is a stella octangula number.
276 276 is n-1 where n=the largest value of any D5 hammer.
DAMN! Them be some mighty fine BRAGGIN RIGHTS to those numbers! Any one of those hammers will place bolts faster and tap blades with greater precision than that POS your stuffin' in the pig now!

SO... I did email everyone that I had an email address for and who had expressed interest in buying a hammer... BUT THAT DIDN'T INCLUDE EVERYONE ON THE LIST
"The List" had evolved over the years and was initially an attempt to gauge interest in such a project. At one point I think it was viewed as a sort of "pre-order" list, but in the end it was an informational resource... but it never was intended to reserve hammers for people nor was it a statement of commitment on the part of the people who appeared on the list.
Now that the actual mechanisms for purchase have been created, I hope that everyone interested gets what they want... it's entirely in their own power to do so. Given the number who expressed interest, I figured there should be enough hammers to saturate the community of climbers at this time. Also, I'm hoping that the hammers have a longevity and a quality such that they will be objects of interest into the future, and that it is possible the hammers have a functioning lifetime that exceeds their owners exertions in the steep, and are passed onto others to use...
...but that is just fantasy now.
