- spaceman_2020 3y agodamn man, that was 2 years ago. I'm not sure what happened to the buyers but looking at MCP's twitter, they're still shipping product and seem to have a player base.
- rideontime 3y agoyou don't personally know those people anymore?
- spaceman_2020 3y agoI do, but I assume they’ve moved onto other investments. 2 years is a long time to keep holding edge case investments
