i might have missed this...but is this the price shipped?





--Nick

zydecoking2 04-20-2004 12:45 PM

this is not the price shipped. Chuck will make them, then ship them out to you, and you pay the shipping company directly because Chuck doesn't make money on the shipping. He will explain all of that when/if he posts here.

naponome 04-20-2004 02:48 PM

Count me in too!

1. A $150 non-refundable deposit is required. It's only refundable if the group buy does not go through such as we don't have enough buyers by the deadline. Deposit can be made through paypal or money order. So please make sure you really want them before you send in the deposit.



2. To pay by paypal, please send the $150 deposit to rotaryextreme@aol.com and mark the subject as "Sideskirts Group Buy". Don't forget to include your day time contact phone numbers.



3. To pay by a money order, please send the $150 deposit to



Rotary Extreme

3 Contra Costa Place

Oakland, CA 94618



Include a note with the shipping address and day time phone number as well.



4. If you are in CA, there is 8.5% sales tax.



3. If the sideskirts are too big to be shipped by Fed Ex Ground, shipping will be freight collect. If they can be shipped by Fed Ex Ground, shipping will be prepaid. Fed Ex does not do COD on shipping.



4. Deadline to join will be 5-31-04.



5. Prices will be the following:

Hey Chuck:



As usual, I'll get this going by paypal'ing my deposit today. But going back in the thread, zydecoking2 had the price at $350 based on 10 participants. I suspect that we'll end up with more than 10, but in the event that we do not, could you comment on the price change, as I see it is now at $400.....still a good deal, but......



Thanks,

Bob

gcthree 04-21-2004 11:07 AM

Deposit is in.



When can we expect to get them?......... I know, I know...

well,



Cool gives me a little time to buy 'other stuff' but I am definetly in.

gcthree 04-21-2004 09:11 PM

Okay, everyone who is interested or otherwise...



Chuck emailed me that he has a set of Apexi side skirts available to him here in the States, so he will not need to go overseas for a set. What this means is that his cost to produce the mold is reduced, and most important to all of us, we can have these skirts as soon as we have 10 deposits into Chuck!



So, although he posted a 'closing date' of May 31st, he will move forward as soon as all our deposits are in. I've sent mine along to get us jump started, and I'm hoping that all the rest who have indicated interest will follow suit.



I want these on my car yesterday!

After recalculating everything and judging by the interest, I will need to raise the prices to cover the cost.

Lets get this one rollin







Rodney McFarlin

gcthree 04-22-2004 08:53 PM

3 in with $, seven to go, and Chuck's popping these things out of the mold for us. All of you really don't want to wait 'til June to get your side skirts, now do you?



Plus, I got quite a reputation on the diffuser GB, because I couldn't, for the life of me, understand why guys would wait until the drop-dead date for the GB to send in their deposit. And I posted as such. Don't you want this thing??? So, to avoid all the pissin' and moanin' I'm going to do, go send Chuck your deposit already.

zydecoking2 04-22-2004 11:33 PM

I sent a check out already

tigerdriver 04-22-2004 11:43 PM

montego 04-23-2004 11:22 AM

Chuck,



So has the deadline changed?



Are just waiting for ten?



I'm not trying to milk it but this month I have quite a few car bills... I'm in no matter what. But I don't want to stretch my budget more if I don't have to.



M-

gcthree 04-23-2004 11:42 AM

Perhaps Chuck will allow you to send along a smaller deposit to indicate that you're serious about this GB? I understand your dilemma, and don't have a problem with that.



My guess is the 5 of us that have deposts in want this to get going already. Once we hit 10, we go- is that right Chuck? If others want to jump in once he's going, then fine. I'd prefer to not wait another month for guys to plunk down their deposit. Unlike the diffuser GB, Chuck doesn't have to buy the side skirts. Of course, I'm assuming Chuck is on-board with this.....

The tentative deadline is May 31st. I really want to wrap this up fast. The diffuser group buy took 3 months to gather all the deposits. Just email me at rotaryextreme@aol.com and let me know when you can make a deposit. I really want people to make the deposits ASAP so we can get this rollling.



Right now I do have a customer who is willing to donate his sideskirts but if you guys take too long and he decides to paint them, you will have to wait longer for me to import a set from Japan. I doubt APEX USA has them in stock.



Chuck Huang

gcthree 04-23-2004 10:04 PM

I've checked. Apexi USA does not have a set, nor can they get a set.

montego 04-24-2004 05:48 PM

Ok,



Well I had to ask. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



I am sending my money on Monday. My computer here at home is giving problems, so I'll just use the one at work instead. Thanks

gcthree 04-26-2004 05:03 PM

Needs to be back on the top of the heap....

T04Rx-7 04-28-2004 03:55 PM

Come on guys lets not wait till the deadline!!! and there isnt another set in the USA

DAMMIT!



Guys I just found out that my turbos are toast. :(



I still really want these skirts but for now count me out (at least for the next week and a half). I have to do some serious re-budgeting now...



I am going to try my hardest to come up with the cash but like I said count me out.



Sorry dudes.



Unless chuck can take two payments from me.



Chuck? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif

rotaryextreme 04-28-2004 09:00 PM

The deadline is May 31st so you still have 1 month of time.



I need at least 10 people to start on it though.



Chuck

T04Rx-7 04-28-2004 10:58 PM

what is everyone elses excuse for waiting for the deadline?!

ccw998 04-29-2004 03:51 AM

Come on guys!

I have already paid the total amount to Chuck because I sent him a money order!!

(Save money for buy money order and shipping fee)

gcthree 04-29-2004 01:47 PM

Okay, we did have 10 individuals when we were casting about for guys who were 'in', but somehow a few of them evaporated over the last couple of weeks. Go figure....



I've learned, from the diffuser group buy, that people (for watever reason) will wait until the last minute to place their deposit. I've tried to understand this behavior, but damn if I can figure it out. I guess we have to be patient.....

TeamChin 04-29-2004 02:35 PM

money sent....

rotaryextreme 04-29-2004 03:10 PM

Here is the latest list.



1. R. Weber

2. V. Khamphouy

3. R. McFarlin

4. B. Leung

5. C. Mingo

6. K. Weidmen



Please do not ask me to ship to a different address other than your PayPal confirmed address. I can only ship to the PayPal confirmed address if you pay by Paypal. It's the PayPal policy and I have to follow it. If you send me a money order, then I can ship to any address you want. Thank you.



Chuck Huang

zydecoking2 04-29-2004 03:19 PM

My excuse is the slow USPS, I sent a check for the deposit only and not the full amount, hoping like 20+ people will jump on this and bring the price down https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

if people wait till the deadline then we should move the date to April 31st but that would be impossible https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

naponome 04-29-2004 04:22 PM

This is my first group buy but it looks like we almost have 10 and we're far from the deadline. Doesn't that mean the probability of getting 10 is pretty high?

gcthree 04-29-2004 09:16 PM

We'll probably get 10 by the deadline. But if you're like me, I'd like to have these skirts on my car yesterday! Good news is that Chuck gets going as soon as he has 10....so, here's hoping.

Sorry man, I can only ship to the PayPal confirmed address now. If you send me a money order, I can ship to anywhere you want. Thank you.

Thats cool Chuck



What if I already sent my deposit by paypal and when I send the remainder with a money order when this gets going, can you ship to my work then? sorry for so many ??
