Okay so maybe I'll get it right this time by putting it in this forum.
I am trying to organize a group buy for a set of flares from Auto Atlanta. The price will be $750.00 and a minimum of thirty Buyers will be required to implement the buy. AA will begin production when I have funds equivalent to twenty Buyers submitted and the last ten funds in-process. Production will take a couple of weeks. AA will also offer the GRP Flared Rockers for an extra $100.00. Please respond as quickly as you can with your commitment and I will begin to set up an account. I guess that I will accept checks and I also have paypal if you want to do that (with a transaction fee included). I ask that all of those that were interested in jeeperjohn56's thread to please reconfirm with me in this thread. I'll work my hardest for everyone to make this a quick and successful group buy. Dave |

I am in for a set as well as the flared rockers. Send me a PM with your address and i will send you whatever you need to get this rolling.
The flares are not for my six; it is stock bodied and will remain that way. I am buying the flares for my 2nd 914....down the road, which will be a flared more radical street car. Thanks for handling this. Michael Cairo94507 at yahoo dot com |

I would imagine AA wouldn't mind as long as it were its own group buy and we had 30 plus buyers. Otherwise the intent was to offer it as an incentive with the Flares. Not really fair to camp on to the ones that are spending more and getting the Flares. Lets see how many end up wanting Flares also.

Dave Put me down for the flares. I assume they are the steel replicas, right? Also, I can't find the rockers on AA. All I can find is the front valance. Warren |

I will collect the money and be responsible for issuing a cashiers check or cash transfer to AA from a separate account that I have with BofA. i also have an account with Wells Fargo if anyone has problems with BofA.
I ahve run golf leagues for companies in the past and have had the experience of collecting and managing the funds. AA will not be able to hold and track the participants. Lets give the thread a few more days and then I will provide information on where to send the funds. If previous group buy organizers have a different experience please tell me. Dave |

Dave We had a deadline for the money to be sent. I had members send me money orders made out to AA. I didn't want to place large amounts of money under my name from people who didn't know me. The money was sent to AA one we reached our numbers and production started immediately. I placed ads in all the 914 sites but world got the most views by far. We had buyers from Spain, France, Germany and Japan. I had a great time talking to many people who participated in the flare buy. I think it is a bit premature for another big buy but wish you all the best. mark |

Thanks for the insight Mark. I can do it just as you propose if people are uncomfortable.
Now just need 24 more buyers and we've got it. |

I already have a set of factory flares, but would be in for a set of flared fiberglass rocker panels. I understand your position regarding these, so I will stand by to see if you meet your quota for steel flares and can offer the rockers to others. Thank you.
And thanks to you and everyone else who has tried to arrange various group buys. It is a big effort to provide a service to the World and it is appreciated. |

I understand Restoration Design may be out of flares. You may want to contact them and other resellers to get larger orders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

You know, 3 or 4 months ago, George told me that there would NEVER, under any circumstances, EVER be another flares group buy. PERIOD.

I might buy a set for a future build. Mark, Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there was additional s&h charge of $75. So the total for your group by was $625. Is s&h included in this group by of $750? If $750 is the total, then I'm in for a set. |

I've seen factory sets selling for $3K+ |
