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).

We still have time to add more buyers if you are indeed interested.

A friend where I work was asking today, but he won't be ready until early 2008, so I'll keep a list of 'late-bloomers' in case a bunch of you guys want to do this again next year ...


I don't recommend sending cash ... much safer to convert it to a bank check or the appropriate quantity of Money Orders if you don't want to send a personal check.

I haven't received your PM as of yet ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) ... try PM-ing me again, or send your contact info to the e-mail address in the PM I just sent to you.

Here's the list so far:
