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) |

Hi, thanks for the reply....I might be able to possibly even make this group buy. You see I am going to sell some motorcycle parts to a friend and he is insisting on using PayPal so I thought maybe have my friend send it to the person in charge of the group buy, but I need to know how much for shipping. Do I send this payment to George directly at AA or to you.....its not confirmed but I might be able to work it out if I had another month or so......any deadlines?? I really need the flares.
Is there any way to see a car with the actual flares installed ? If shipping would be around the same price would be great, I don't mind cheaper shipping but don't want to be paying like 200 dollars for EMS or Fed Ex, maybe throught the US post office perhaps? The parts I hope to sell to raise money for the flares are about the same so this could work out perfectly. Thank you, Jamie |

Thank you, Jamie Hi, I believe the deal is $650 for the fenders, $50 shipping in the continental US. I believe if you and the receiver have paypal accounts, you can send mone for free. Therefore, $650 + $50 + $0 is "drumroll" $700. |

Two different issues going on here.
Unfortunately in Jamie's particular case, he doesn't reside in the US ... and apparently the cost to ship a set of flares from 'AA' to Japan is $250. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .. so here's how Jamie's bill would look: $650. + $250. = $900., + Pay Pal charges * * I believe Pay Pal charges the receiver of the funds (which would be me) a percentage when the funds are pulled the out of the account. I thought I read it was 3%, but I heard it may have gone up to as high as 4.5%. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I only use Pay Pal to purchase items ... have never accepted it for any sales. I'll ask someone who uses PP more than I do to see what the current charge rate is ... I'd hate to see Jamie have to pay another additional charge (which could be anywhere from $27. to $40. on a $900. purchase) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) We still have time to figure something out ... maybe a slower shipper?

Me Bad, didn't note he was writing from Japan. Weird though, when I replied I was poster 21 and now I was "burped" down the line. The Paypal info for sending cash is : https://www.paypal.com/helpscr?cmd=_help&am...olutionId=13138
