DEADLINE for this one: DECEMBER 14th 2007
But another one is in the planning for February/March 2008 time-frame Payments that are still enroute will be deposited when received, then when they clear (approx 1 week) the total order payment will go off to George (hopefully by 12/26 or 12/27/07). ----------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE As of 12/20/07, we're still holding at 15 14 Participants have PAID (P) 1 payment negotiation is underway in Georgia (..?..) [b]Well, this is it for this 'buy': (P) 1. Mark S. - euro911 (P) 2. Tom - wilhelm (P) 3. Jeff - Jeffs9146 (P) 4. Ben - jaminM3 (P) 5. John , drive-ability (P) 6. Albert - languenero (P) 7. Byron - EVILGENIUS13 (P) 8. Chris - my928s4 (P) 9. Jose - atsealevel914 (P) 10. Garry - sixgt (P) 11. Wes - Wes V (P) 12. Chuck - gerziebaker (Pick up yours directly from AA) (P) 13. Jamie - nsr914 (You did it dude) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (P) 14. Steve - Porcharu ..?.. 15. Shelton - shelton ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) If you & George reach an accord, pick up yours directly from AA) ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Recap from the previous episode: OK ... for those of you who missed the last one (including me), here's your chance to get in on the NEW deal. I PM'd George and asked if he was up for another one of these events ... and he replied: "Always Mark. making a 914-6 gt clone is the RAGE these days! The current deal would be ten sets one check 650 per set plus shipping 49 states 50 dollars shipping and if they wanted to add some other parts reasonably light and regular sized the shipping would not increase. We will ship to each individually." I just spoke with him on the phone too, and as you can see, the new deal is a departure from the earlier buy of only 6 sets to qualify, so this may be a little tougher to get lined up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) George's Guidelines: * Minimum order is 10 sets ... Cost: $700. each ($650. + $50. shipping ea. CONUS) ... This is a savings of roughly $350. from the current catalog price ... only $650. (no shipping charge) if you can pick up directly from AA * The entire order will need to be paid for with ONE check ... I created an escrow account to deposit your payments and I will write the check to 'AA' * Shipments would be individually sent out to each participant's address. You can post here, Post on NARP, or PM me (at either place) if you're seriously interested ... PM me for my phone number if you want to talk to me personally. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Answers to questions(11-4-07): 1. Since we're getting close to having 10 committed participants, I contacted George again to check inventory (+/- 40 sets are available now). 2. As soon as we confirm we have 10 committed participants, I'll post a due date for the payments (tentatively, it looks like mid-December). 3. Payments ($700.00) will need to be made out to me, so I can deposit them into the account. Payment Options: * Bank Check * Money Order * Personal Check 4. Please send your payment(s) via 'Certified Mail', 'Signature Requested' (this protects each of us). 5. When all the payments 'clear' here, I send 'AA' a single payment for the total amount due and I will provide them with a spreadsheet with all participant's contact/shipping information on it. 6. When the payment clears 'AA', the flares ship to the address you provided me with. I've provided current participants with my contact info ... so feel free to send me a PM, e-mail or call me if you have any questions or need to change anything (like your contact/shipping information). ----------------------------------------------------------------- Here's some eye candy to help with your decision: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (My wife isn't an easy sell when it comes to me buying Porsche parts, but this is the pic I showed her ... and got her approval on) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s) |

Thanks for the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) ...
I received a PM from EVILGENIUS13 QUOTE "Hey mark what's up? my name is bryon (EVILGENIUS13) , I am very interested in the group buy on the flares. i guess send me your number and i can call you about it. i live in san diego. talk to later. BRYON" That makes NINE (9) ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) I responded: QUOTE "Hello Byron, Thanks for your interest in the 'Group Buy' on Flares ... In a nutshell, 'AA' currently sells a reproduction factory steel flare set for $995. + shipping ($50.), so if one wants orders a set individually, it will cost them $1,050. With the 'Group Buy', the total cost is only $700. for any of the ten (or more) participants ... a cost savings of $350. for each person) ----------- When we have the ten confirmed participants (hopefully more, in case someone decides too drop out), I will be asking everyone to send me one of the following by US Postal 'Certified Mail': * Certified Bank Check * Personal Check (if your account is in good standing) ... or * Money Orders (M/O's are typically only good up to $500. each). ----------- PM me with your full name, address, phone number and e-mail address, and I'll place you on the list. Let me know if you need any additional info and I can call you back ..." Additional Info: I created an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of who's on-board for this buy ... I guess this would be a good time to have all the participants PM me with your contact info (name, address, phone number and e-mail address) and I'll fill in the blanks, and e-mail you back my contact info.
