Bob,
Lock mentioned something about racks in Kingman...Laughlin, whatever. Reach out to him so we don't duplicate efforts. Jamie mentioned something about taking some for stock, if the price is right. I'll buy a few, too.
As far as funds, I say put up now or shut up later. Cash up front at order time; if you miss out, tough luck! Too many times, folks have gotten hung out to dry with other people's promises to buy things and then never ante-ing up the funds. If you want to buy extra on speculation and up the price later...go for it!
Have a pre-run price, a "pay for it when it arrives" price and a "well, now these are really rare" price.
