Anyone interested in a small buy in for these really really nice pieces? I'm not really suggesting a lower price but more along the lines of saving greatly on shipping if we pack a couple of these together.

They are $165.29 USD + shipping (which is the killer @ $50USD)

Post here if you are interested.

I know Tom (the hoth) was interested in one, anyone else?

Confirmed Buyers:
1. Luke (specialque)
2. Tommy (The Hoth)
3. amiodarone
4. Jeff (Cubs2k)

Muz agreed to sell us the Bars @ 10% off and a discounted shipping rate, but we need 10 buyers

 

but you are going to ship them to the same address? Then repack and ship again?

 

yeah, they are all gonna come to my house and I'm going to disperse them. It still works out to be even cheaper.

 

It only works if they live really close to you. Anyone else it wouldn't make sense, let's say someone from NYC want to get in. Between the gas and tolls, he'd be breaking out even. Then add in the time and frustration of driving to CT and he'd be at a loss.

Now if you are going to disperse them through regular mail, it'll probably cost about $5 to ship (but tracking info is iffy, and you take the hit if it gets lost). If you ship them Fedex or UPS, you are looking at another $10. So that's $15 to ship. Now add in your time to pack and find materials to pack, not like these things are a normal shape. Trust me your looking for more headaches then it's worth. Frankly, I would just buy a Cusco, it'll cost your relatively the same.

 

Thanks for the heads up. We'll see if we get 10 people. In the NY/NJ/CT/RI/MA area.

Also, i'm going to start to go to meets so I'd just bring them with me. But we'll see.

 

I am just giving you my experience from the previous GBs I've done for Muz. It was really a PITAs after awhile.

 

Yeah, understandable, I wanted one of these bars but I can see where doing this a couple of times would just be a PITA.

 

Hey Dan. You're doing a good job of killing my sales off here.

BTW I don't believe the Cusco is built to brace both diagonally and laterally as the Whiteline is.

Who knows? ... I may decide to drop ship to my group buyers. We haven't worked out the fine detail yet.

 

Not trying to kill your sales, I just think doing a GB doesn't make sense, if he is going to ship it again. It has to be strategically correct in order for it to work. The participants need to meet regularly and the gas expense is no added value. If he plans on shipping again, the packaging and reshipping just defeats the purpose on the little amount he winds up saving. I am telling him straight up before he does something he regrets.
