Group buy is $39.95 for the gauge shipped within the USA. Please see my last post for details.



Here is the link to the gauge:

http://www.mainelycustombydesign.com/engine_components.html#dipstick

I am not sure how many would want these, and how much they'd go for, but I figure we can save a few $$s.

So let me know if you are interested, how many and at what price, shipped would be a good deal and I'll see what I can set up.

Thanks!

Possibly (1) ... depends on the final 'discounted' cost

Depends on the discounted price. This is one of those things that would be nice, but not needed (for me).

I doubt they'll discount it much, but WDIK? I kind of want one anyway (for a long time now actually), so what the hell, I'm in for one.

I'll let this run through the weekend. Monday, I'll take a tally and get back to Mainely and see what they say.

Posted by: type47 Dec 5 2008, 09:57 AM

they often ebay the gauges at $45 bid and $49 buy it now.

Posted by: ericread Dec 7 2008, 07:56 PM

Did you ever get/post a price, or is the deadline for gauging interest only? I am interested, depending upon the price, but I'm not "in" until I know what your price will be.


My thanks and good luck!

Eric Read

Posted by: KaptKaos Dec 7 2008, 08:07 PM

Price TBD pending the number of participants. I am gauging interest for the gauge.

I'll call him tomorrow and say "I have X that are interested, depending on the final shipped cost. What can you do for us?"

That's the plan right now.

PM me if you need a friendly option on shipping.

Bob at Mainely has the following offer:

$39.95 each which includes USPS shipping to USA (I believe that includes AK & HI). The catch is that he wants it as one payment, and he'll do the shipping.

He has 15 ready to go, and will need some time to make more.

I could collect the $$, but I will need at assess the paypal fees to those that paypal it to me. I dunno what that %% is, so I need to look that up.

Still game? Let me know.

Here is the deal. Bob is asking for 1 payment, which I can make for the full amount. We need 15 to qualify.

The cost is $39.95 each which includes shipping. If you want to send me a check, PM me and I will send you the details.

If you want to paypal me, you need to cover the paypal fees. Per the site http://ppcalc.com/ which calculates paypal fees, you will need to paypal me $41.45. Send me a PM and I'll send you my paypal address.

You will need to send me your shipping information via PM please.

We need 6 more people to qualify, so if you know that guys that expressed interest, nudge them.

Thanks all!!

Posted by: Gint Dec 13 2008, 10:17 AM

I also notified the local gang about the buy and gave them a link to this thread.

Posted by: KaptKaos Dec 15 2008, 07:05 PM

Ok - I sent out a PM to all people that confirmed, PM me, etc... If you haven't gotten the instructions, please PM.

We have 19 so far, and that may go up or down some. Bob said he had 15 ready to go, so there may be a slight wait for a few of them.

Thanks for participating!! I will post status in a few days. Unfortunately, I have jury duty. YECH!

Paypal sent. Thanks for the work you've put into this Joe.

Posted by: KaptKaos Dec 18 2008, 06:16 PM

Thanks all. I think we've got 15 or a few more.

I tried calling Mainely today, and got a "number cannot be reached at this time" message. Likely some nasty weather up there. I sent an email to Bob and I will update here as well. Likely, I will get the payment and shipping info to him next week.

Thanks again!

Posted by: johnnie5 Jan 2 2009, 07:39 PM

I never did send a payment.... I was waiting for a PM. Had the order ever been paid for yet? I know I'm a slacker but can I weasel in, last minute like?

Posted by: KaptKaos Jan 2 2009, 09:40 PM

Last call. Anyone that wants in needs to PM me and I will send the details.

I'll send you another PM Johnnie5.

The order should go out Monday (crosses fingers). How long it takes to ship from Mainely, I am not sure, but I will post back on that.

Thanks for your patience.

We have one last straggler that I got the OK from Bob to fulfill this morning.

As soon as I get his payment, I will be sending out the complete order to Bob. He already has all of the shipping info, etc... He just needs the check now.

Thanks to all and for your patience. I will update as I get shipping info.

Thanks,
Joe

Payment was mailed this week. Damn paypal took 4 days to transfer I mailed it with tracking, etc.. thru USPS.

Once I know Bob has received it, I will ask him for shipping status.

Thanks to all that participated and please let me know when you get yours.

Posted by: johnnie5 Jan 16 2009, 10:56 PM

Is it drop shipping from vendor?

Posted by: KaptKaos Jan 16 2009, 10:56 PM

Bob will be sending them out directly to the members of the group buy.

Bob got the check today.

Seems he has 2 mailing addresses, one being a PO Box. Given that it's -10 there, he doesn't go to the Post Office all that often to check the PO Box, which was where I sent it.

Bob said that he would ship them out tomorrow. When we negotiated the deal, he said he'd ship them via USPS Priority Mail. I will confirm this.

Please send me a PM to confirm the receipt of your unit.

Thanks!!

Cool. The mail lady dropped this off a couple of hours ago. It's been sitting on the living room chair. I pulled it out of the box and looked at the dial. It says 68 or 69 (pretty small print). The thermostat is set at 68 degrees. Looks like it works pretty good at the low range.

I got mine today too!

I ran it up to Pasadena this afternoon and my suspicions were confirmed. I'm running way too cool. Barely 200. I am running way rich as well, since I can smell gas in my oil, which isn't good.

Time to lean it out a bit and see how we do.

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Jan 30 2009, 07:39 PM

Got mine today. Realized that I need to modify the oil dipstick tube, as mine is curved and the Mainley gauge isn't. Its a "later" thing.
