Hi, and welcome

From the previous topic, we hope to start and maintain the buying process here.

The cost:

THe distributor will sell them @19.95 each sitting in CA. My quick cost analysis is as follows:

Shipping from Ohio, (centrally located) I checkedUPS, USPS, and Fedex on a 12"x12"x18" box (standard size) and found the cheapest was Fedex @about 7.00 Ground, and that was based on size,not weight.

First Car body w/shipping, packaging $30.00 each.
Each additional Car body (up to 5) $22.00 each.

Breakdown: $20 Car body
$ 1 Shipping to me
$ 2 packaging, box, stickers, etc
$ 7 Shipping to person

The packaging price can be adjusted by region, but the shipping cost is the big hit on the price.

THe procedure:

Send Me an email to esecrest@ameritech.net with the subject: "Car Body". Include your email address, qty desired, and your ship to address.

I can go into the paypal and send you a bill for the qty you want and adjusted shipping.

If you want it pay it. You click on the bill and pay anyway you want per their instructions.

As I receive the pmts, I'll post the running total. The distributor wanted 40+ as a minimum to start.

As we reach the 40 mark, I'll place the order and it will be 3 weeks to get them.

The costing will be as posted before. I'll start the new post area with it again.

The above gives you a receipt, and keeps everybody covered.

Anybody see a major flaw? If not the send the email with info and lets get started.

A total of 1 for me. (If the retailer also sells small--3" or less in length--versions, I would be interested in more of those.) But see my post about a possible sub-group buy.

I like DD idea for the group. It saves shipping, handling, etc. Its not like I'm making any money on this. If its like every other project I estimated, I'm going to loose my A#$&*(#!

Keep up the good work!

If Dave Darling is gets 12 from his sub group in the Bay area, we will be at 37! We needed 40 to get minimum order, so if all goes well I can order Friday to start the process!

I can deliver to Hersey swap meet for $23 each if pre-ordered/paid, so keep the orders coming for whatever way you want.

Ok guys, here we are.....

I just ordered 40 914 shells, and 2 356 shells. The decals might come with it. He is talking to the factory tonight to confirm. I told him if thery were extra, to order 6 sheets for anyone who wants them.

I decided to order them myself, and cover the cost, to get this started. I wanted to make sure they were on there way here ASAP.

So Tues-Wed. I will get the preship proforma, and I will wire them the money.

Sounds like 40 is about the right amount. We will have the only known 40 shell in the US.

His company (Royal Hobby Distributors tm, Multiplex USA) has a RC race track in Southern CA, and was going to put on a race/car show there in June. He was intrigued by all of our getting the 914 bodies in, and was considering using the 914 for the marque car. He would have a real car show, then have 1/10 RC racing, requiring all participants to be using 914 shells.

Wow would that be interesting.

If decals are not included, I'll need all 5. It looks like the decals include all of the chrome trim and such.

I'll buy at least one of those 356s too.

Add four for me, billed to and shipped to Mueller.

And Mike has my permission to publicly humiliate me if I forget to pay him...

Expect a phone later on today....depending on how much you want for your 2.0 that is in my car, I might make an offer on it.....too much damn work to go swapping motors again in just a few months.........
