If anyone here wants to buy BTC via bitcoin.de I must warn you, that it will take you up to 3-4 weeks until you get the BTC. This is what I am going through right now.
1. Make account, enter your bank account
2. Wait for a test transaction to your bank account and enter code (takes up to a week)
3. Buy BTC
4. Transfer money to seller (takes up to a week)
5. Wait 14 days until bitcoin.de lets you pull your BTC from their wallet into yours.

If we've already paid do we receive some sort of confirmation from you that you've received the funds? Or do you need a signed message from the address we used to pay?
There is no payment confirmation email. If you want to see your details you just use the link that was sent in the first email and it will tell you how much BTC has been received and how many devices that buys.

D'oh, should have thought of that. Yes, that worked a treat. Thanks.

Depends... if your counting orders then it is well over what we need.
If your counting payments, a tad over 50 at last count. I have done/doing all I can, its up to you guys when we finish.

1. Don't count a 'sale' a 'sale' until you have the bitcoin.
How many paid units in this gb?

We just went through 50.
I am not sure if everyone realises it so I will say it in plain english;-
IF EVERYONE PAID WE WILL BE ORDERING TODAY!!
I realise that most of my orders came through slashdot and many will never pay (or get devices) but if under 50% of the orders that I had would pay we would be done.

UPDATE:
3. Don't think your going to fool customs (In my calls to customs both here and overseas I get the impression that they know about these group buys and are talking to each other about them).

Not all the customs ppl know about it. I think the ones here are quite clueless.
Perhaps, but it is just something I am not willing to risk. I would be mortified if I spent all of this time collecting up over $70,000 USD of your guys money only to have it seized at the border and impounded.
I know other group buys are planning to ignore it all together or do some wonky math with the declared value but for the little bit extra that people are paying per device with this group buy it is protecting us all.

Yep, go ahead, I am still working on getting orders transferred into actual bitcoins and your actual bitcoins will help everyone out.

I think they will know about it in NZ now, I am sure a few of them are idling their time away on the net browsing forums like this one.
And to those holding up the show, I have paid as well. So don't be shy, part with your coins.

friedcat's announcement today about the Block Erupter USBs:

Would ours be the ones with the front cases?

4. Some people are funny, they will insist on not paying until others have paid leading to others not paying because others have not paid (circular logic at its finest).
To these people, I've paid, you can go ahead now!

UPDATE:
This has to be the most frustrating undertaking I have ever done in my life..
ONE extra confirmed payment in the past 24 hours.... ONE!!!
The issue is getting currency into bitcoin, fortunately ASICMiner has not even started shopping the devices yet so I am going to lie and say that is the holdup
. With any luck now the weekend is fully behind us I will get 400 payments today (now I am lying to myself).
I have put together a few notes for people planning to do future group-buys (or if I do one myself).
1. Don't count a 'sale' a 'sale' until you have the bitcoin.
2. It is a lot of work, make sure that there is enough margin to reward yourself.

Sounds good, hmm, when would be the "cut-off" date for orders ?
I will try to give warning, I have to keep in mind that the people that have already paid want theirs ASAP but I also have to keep in mind that people are working hard to get the bitcoins and get included.
In short, there is no "cut-off" date at the moment but don't procrastinate.

How many orders till now? Prices look good too 
I managed to get just over 50 paid and done for before the weekend and everything went dead because of the banks closing (and I hit the mattress exhausted).
It's just coming up 9am Monday morning here in New Zealand so I expect the banks to start opening again throughout the world and the race to begin again (I am not sure when I offered to help people to buy bitcoins but I might regret it
