GroupdDIY 511 Racks: round 5.5 available

[zayance]

Sure i understand, lots of time and work involved, that's what i tought, and that's why i needed an update.
I said list because i saw one some pages before (a google memo) so... Anyway cross fingers for you and hope it will work out for you, i'll check back, no rush. Thanks a lot.

...we have to check if there is any profit left, we have to decide how to proceed further....

We may find that it cost Cemal, Volker and myself each $100 to do this project!  That would not be good.  ???

 

[zayance]

Always better not to lose money.  

Anyway you'll have made a bunch of people pretty happy  , if this can help?

So far the figures are o.k. on the excel sheet, but as Volker said we first have to get the investment back so that we can invest in the second run. However, in order to get the same price break we have to have 100 orders. We can probably twist the metal fabricator's arm to keep the same price if the order for next batch is lower, but it may not be the case for connectors.

However, may I ask the guys whom are not in EC, US and Canada to contact me at [email protected] for their purchase?

 

[zayance]

If everything turns out good, i'm sure there will be another demand for second batch, since the built quality and the price are great, just need to do a simple selling post with paypal infos etc..., but you know that.

mention something on gearslutz and membership will rise by 1000 and there will be maannyyyy threads going... its not working!! HELP!!!!

 

[kazper]

I think it would be reasonable to make a reasonable sized deposit to get on the future list.... Say 25% to 1/3 of the estimated end price to help offset the costs.

I think this would be completely acceptable especially for a couple more lists and hopefully it would get you guys to a point of being able to stock them.

BTW I still want a second unit, after the one I have under the first 100 list ....

 

[zayance]

Yes, that can be a good thing and i'll accept that, good point Kazper.

A Monday morning update...

All current and paid North American UPS orders have shipped out. Yeah! Everyone should have received the Quantum View notification. I have updated the spreadsheet accordingly.

Unfortunately, for the paid Canadian shipments via USPS, they will be dropped at the Post Office tomorrow (Tuesday) morning as they are closed today for the Presidents Day Holiday.  :-\

Cheers, Jeff

A Monday midday update 

I figure we have given erockomania and bendymusic plenty of time and still have heard no response with billing details. So, I have just bumped them from our list. You guys can get back on at the bottom if you want. Sorry.

That means evm1024 and mistasanshou have been moved up into the open spots! Woohoo!! I have just invoiced you guys, so pay as soon as you can and I will ship immediately thereafter.

After those two, I am all caught up and am waiting on more XLR's and PSU PCB's from Volker. As soon as that package arrives, I will get back on this.

I need a break. It's been a long weekend. Maybe I am a sissy. 

Cheers. Jeff

 

[jsteiger]

Ha. evm1024 paid while I was typing the above post!  ;D

Right on Ethan! You must have been waiting.

Cheers, Jeff
