Re: Mountainsmith wisp
Hi Evan,
It's like Andy said before, we really don't like to say what is going to be
tested ahead of time for several reasons.
The main reason is that it has a tendency to jinx the test so that it never
happens. Some of the reasons that we have had tests disappear on us include
having our contact at the company leave, or the manufacturer has production
issues where they cannot keep up with customer demand.
From the tester side of things, we don't want testers avoiding a test call
for one item because they know that an item they really want is in the
pipeline. The real problem here is that if we have 3 of a real popular item
in the pipe, but 30 people REALLY want it and are willing to wait for it,
that means we are going to have 27 testers that are not applying for other
similar gear.
For those popular items, there is always stiff competition. What you should
concern yourself with at this point is working on your reviews and
applications. Do a great job testing the less popular gear and you will
find that your reputation with the moderators greatly increases. Writing
additional Owner Reviews will also help out here. If you are around here
long enough, you will get to test out just about every sort of gear, it
just may not be the exact brand and model that you want. You will also find
that you will like testing out a lot of the gear that you would never have
bought for yourself, it's just more fun to try out something new.
