Mark,
If you order 2 sets is it 100$ for shipping? Also if 2 sets of rockers then 70$ shipping for rockers? Any combined shipping? Should we include shipping with initial money order? Thanks, Jeff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Any combined shipping? Not that I'm aware of. If there is, AA can make an adjustment later but I would not count on it. If you look at what it costs to pack and ship an item like this, $50 is very good.
Should we include shipping with initial money order? Yes please.

A set of flares and rockers+shipping should total $785

Thanks, Jeff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


Remember - Every set (or 2) ordered benefits the entire group. And please, make all money orders out to Automobile Atlanta - not me. Thank you, Mark

how many sets are currently accounted for?

I am on the fence on this one, but the price is hard to turn down. You could flip them at Hershey for a quick profit.

We will have 40 sets sold so everyone can get the $550 price.

I am receiving orders from Germany, Italy, Spain and Japan in addition to members from roadglue, pelican, club and samba.

Oh, my bad. Interesting...not trying to knock this but I'll be pretty surprised if you can get 40 sold in a reasonable amount of time. There has been several prior buys and I can't imagine there are 40 more who follow through. The real expense is the installation and when that realization sets in, the numbers drop. Also, hopefully you didn't double counts raised hands since alot of folks play in each of those forums in different names.

Good luck, your enthusiasm is exactly what a group buy needs.

* We should have 10 sets purchased just from the overseas members. I'd rather get this done quickly than have it drag out too long. I'm hoping members can have the flares in there hand begining of March.

I received 5 emails like this today;
Hi Mark.
Just sent my money order for $785 to you. Thanks again for coordinating this.
--Steve
1 set flares
1 set GT rockers
Steve M

The real expense is the installation and when that realization sets in, the numbers drop.

* I bet the members could get a group flare build together similar to the transmission clinic (past) and rust repair (future). East coast/mid/west coast. Drive in, weld, drive out. Production line style. Scotty B offered me a good price since I'm getting him to paint my car.

Also, hopefully you didn't double counts raised hands since alot of folks play in each of those forums in different names.

* I didn't take any of the hands too seriously, I'm counting members who are sending checks.

Good luck, your enthusiasm is exactly what a group buy needs.

* Thank you. Real estate is sort of slow this time of year so I'm having fun with this stuff. Just bought new calipers, rotors, ect, ect from Eric Shea/PMB. Bunch of small parts from AA and Pelican. Planning on talking to Jake Raby for one of his killer 4's. Mark

1 week into group flare buy! Order your set now! This deal will not be repeated soon and maybe never at this price. A set sold recently on roadglue for $800 in 24 hours. Don't miss this great opportunity.

I think this thread should be a STICKY at least until the group buy is over.

If you're on the fence, fall over to the flared side!

Guess I will miss out again. This is too short of n.itice to come up with the extra money unless I skip out on the Buttercup build in Kansas. I would have een good for a couple of sets after February but I am committed to the Kansas trip. I also noticed you didn't mention anything about that price being dependent on a minimum 40 sets being sold. Has that changed now & 550.00 is the price regardless of how many are so,d?


Donald


We will sell 40 sets! I have also listed on Club, Roadglue, Pelican, Rennlist, and Samba. If the racers wil post on the racing/ax sites, that would be great!

Thanks, Mark


Mark,

I'm not sure what your answer was to Donald's question. What happens to our $550 if we fall short of 40 sets? Will you ask for more money to cover any cost differential, or do we have the option to have the funds returned and our order cancelled on an individual basis?

I need to get to the Post Office to purchase the cashiers check/money order; one set of flares here.

Any idea how much shipping would be for USPS to an APO address? I won't flare the car I have but one car is never enough.
