This comes directly from one of the yahoogroups that I monitor.

At the same time, it's quite UNbelievable & Believable ALL at the same time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)


"Anyone out there interested in some steel flares?
I thought that I was on a waiting list from Auto Atlanta, but when I call to
check on them I wasn't on there list to get the flares at the intro price of $650.

But he said that he would sell them to me for that price if I bought three sets.


So I need to see if anyone would be interested. It will save $300 a set".


As Steve Austin likes to say: WHAT?!

I see nothing wrong or funny with that deal, the discount is quite steep for only 3 sets (32% discount), but I think he'd rather sell 3 at a less margin than only 1 or none to this person at the 950 price.

Group buy....more power to him (buyer and seller)

That shows me what the markup must be.


Why is it a crime to make money when NO ONE else stepped up to the plate to supply flares to those that wanted them?
I'm not sure what his ROI is, but he's not going to break even soon unless he is selling a few sets everyday. Now how he might be making money is if he makes Wayne @ PP buy XX amount of flares out right instead of 1 or 2 or only when PP gets an order.

Whatcha thinkin? running flares with 4 lug?


and what is wrong with that? I'd go wider than 5.5" rims, but nothing wrong with 4 lug setups....it's good to be different and run something other than everyday 5 lug Fuchs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
