No, they were $550 and George did say he would never offer them that low again. That was also 2 years ago. But the past is the past and the current price of $750 is great! 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.


The $750 does not include S&H.

s&h was a flat $50 to the lower 48 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

In a another couple years we'll wish we could get them at $750. I've seen factory sets selling for $3K+


Thanks for sharing the history of the previous buy Mark.

Wasn't the previous group buy for a larger number also? Like 50 ? We have a lower number for the buy and George did say that he would not go any lower regardless of group size due to his commitments to the other companies that sell his flares.

Yes, it was tiered pricing but I ignored the lower numbers and only advertised the 40+ price. If you could get some foreign speaking guys to post on the different sites in france, germany, japan, ect. it might help. We sold 10+ sets overseas last time. I would also hit the club site, pelican and the 914 group on yahoo. 750 is a really good price! There isn't a lower priced alternative.

I'm not sure what all that complaining is about, if i was in the market for a set, i'd happily pay $750 for a set.


They are better quality than the factory original flares at 1/4 the price. How is that *not* a good deal?

I bought a set in the first original group buy. Included them in the sale of the blue 914 (Dumba$$!!) Not sure if I'll use them right away, but the prices are too good to pass up. Include me in the group buy with rockers (as long as I can pay after the first of the year!)

Did George quote a shipping cost per set? A complete total would be nice to know.

Thanks Mark. I will be posting on 914Club and will also do the others as you suggest.

I agree that the price is really good. I just missed the previous buy so I have been waiting for the opportunity to participate.

Shipping Costs

$90 for the Flares.

$28 for the Rockers.

The first ten buyers of the Rockers will also get free shipping on any additional parts purchased at that time as they will be packed in the Rocker box.

You can count me in for 1 set of flares only, unless we are speaking of steel flared rockers... then those as well.

We're at about 15 Buyers if I count 'em right.

Come on you guys that are right on the edge. I know its Christmas and money is tight, plus we're supposed to think about other first.

We'll wait for you or ask your better half for Flares as a xmas present.

I'll be working on determining better shipping rates to various parts of the country (and Europe) next week.

Thanks to all the others for your support of this group buy.

I'll post a list of all that I think I have commitments from next week for Flares and/or Rockers.

Dave.
