I plan to accept orders for 50 more Drive Paks for Jan/Feb 
2011.  Part of keeping some kind of business flow going is accepting 
cheaper or below-cost orders if the customer agrees to wait 
longer.     If I take a December order for a item that will be 
shipped in January or February, I will most certainly make it worth 
your while and hard to turn down.  If I take too many pre-orders, it 
obviously means I'm paying people to buy my stuff, which was the case 
during several periods in 2010.  Doing this too much tends to hurt 
the pocket book, but it pays off in the long run.  I love it, I love 
it, I love it.  Oh, for the guys in Australia and Canada who bought a 
Drive Pak for $50 and paid no shipping... well, do the math... I paid 
you at least $25 to buy the pak (and I sold a lot of them to you 
guys), and this was accepted as reasonable by all except for one guy 
who filed a dispute just a few days after placing his order... says 
he was worried that he wouldn't get it.  I said, I can't produce your 
order without the money because PayPal holds it until the dispute is 
cleared.  After 2 days of talking to a brick wall, I paid him $100 
just to go away and come back when he was feeling right.

In 2011 I'll try to have a "Ready To Ship" logo on my items that are 
in stock, or "Short Wait", etc.
