It's time to get the ball rolling here.
I just got off the phone with Keith @ Flyin' Miata, and they are willing to do a group buy with us on Hard Dog Roll Bars. This is going to be off the chart, off the record, whatever you want to call it, but it is for MX5Atlanta Members ONLY!!!
So here's the deal. We're going to combine shipping into one drop shipment by truck to a commercial address from Bethania-Garage, so there will be a really nice savings on shipping costs for everyone by going this route. No paying $75 to ship your one bar.
Since we're going to most likely use MeFryRice's business as a delivery point, it will be the responsibility of each member to come get their bar in Peachtree City. Or I will be willing to come deliver it in my awesome Previa for gas money (and your willingness to wait until a weekend if you're in some land far away like Athens :lol:). I can fit multiple bars in there at once, but I'll have to unpack them.
At the same time, FM is giving us $20 off each bar ordered. May not seem like a lot, but you have to remember, there is very little markup in the rollbars to start with. Every bit helps us.
Also, if you want some accessory like padding or covers, they will be regular price, but I'm pretty sure that they can be shipped at the same time. So consider that into your price.
Since everyone checks the forums pretty frequently, and I'll be sending an email as well, the cutoff date for saying you're IN is February 15th. On Monday, Feb. 16th, I will call FM and give them our final bar order and receive the shipping quote. From there, I will report back with the total shipping cost that will be split among everyone that's in the group buy.
Everyone will then have until February 27th, to get their payment submitted. *EDIT* I just got off the phone with FM, and they have asked that I basically organize everything on our end since this is our deal. As far as paying is concerned, you will need to submit payment to me so that I can pay them one sum at the end of next month. Of course, no one needs to worry about this until after February 16 when I get the final quote. You can either pay by cash in person, mail a check or money order, or PayPal if you're willing to cover the 3% transaction fee.
Requotes are something that I'd like to avoid as much as possible since it's extra work for me and for FM and everyone's shipping cost will go up, so please, take joining this group buy very seriously. (Additions to the group buy will be allowed, but if you're looking to come into the buy between the 16th and the 27th, you'll be expected to pay immediately.)
So please respond to this thread if you're in, and I will keep the list updated. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them up, but please keep the discussion in the thread to a minimum. Unnecessary posts will be deleted.
What a great way to spend the tax returns!!! :lol:
Let's roll!!!
