ok, i give up on this.

Go with Chris and forget about all the hastle.

I done my best, gave you my best offers, and over the price - this was the subject to change and change to the lowers side.

I did all the calculations not exactly, but i tryed not to count the lowest prices as i could get cuz just in case to be safe. Its always better to tell higher prices not the lowers and then lift the prices in the middle of the process.

I emailed chris thanking him about all this, this wasnt the first time he cut me off, but now it seems everything is Ok with him and me.

So yea, go with him and forget about all this.

I really don't understand this response. If you have issues with Chris C, address them with him. By pulling out of this, you only hurt the guys in this group buy who have not done anything wrong. Are you mad because I informed everyone in the group buy about the message I got from Chris C? Since it is their money, I felt obligated to do so - particularly with the problems we have had getting the skirts from the London vendor. As you will notice, I made a recommendation to continue with the original plan buying these from you despite the higher price, the extra work for me, and the likely longer delivery time. I just don't understand why you are bailing on the group buy after that.

First of all Jay - you understud me wrong - im not mad at all. I just gave my options. And there was no sarcasm at all saying BUY from Chris. If he can get them for 400$ delivered to your door - this is way better deal then i can get. All i did - explained WHY my price was higher and etc. Chris products are perfect (i know form experience) so this would be a good deal. And he might have the skirts in stock - so this would save all of you TIME and money. Cuz in my case - first pack of skirts would include the Mold price and work price - this is why price is higher (even i could do them even lower then 400$ shipped.... but i just dont want to)

Yea, i HAD issues with Chris. Cuz it is stupid jumping on someone who is in process of somthing. But now it seems everything is cleared between us 2.

After some calculations i came up what shipping with EMS (express Air mail delivery 3-5 buissness days) would cost about 130-170$ to your doors.

So adding this to the original price i offered about 250-275$ for a pair you come up with the 380$ in the best case. So only issue is the time if you wanna order them from me.

Here is the current list.

Romas, now that you are shipping these direct, please indicate if you want the payment to still go through me. Also, please confirm that we can send you the deposits up front and the balance when the skirts are complete.

Jay, if you could handle all the money stuff - this would save me some time, and it would be better for me. if not - i will try to figure out somthing.

All i need now (if you can handle all the money stuff) what you collected money from all the GB members (downpayment) and then transfered Exact amount of how much skirts will cost (465$). Whats it - so we could have all this thing rolling. I dont need any more money now.

Finall payment would be needed just then ALL the skirts will be prefited, pics will be posted and right before shipping.

Sounds good. Except I will send you the total of the deposit amounts because it will keep it a little cleaner on my end.

Wannabe, I will pm you my paypal information. The amount is $114 by paypal. The balance will be $220 (no additional paypal fees) when the skirts are ready.

You will be getting at least $600 so that shouldn't be a problem.

I want to do a little commentating for members of this group buy (and others who are considering buying these).

First, you should each personally thank Doggy for his position on this. He may make some money down the road on these skirts but he will make very little if any on this group buy.

Second, plan on paying the balance ($220 by the method you originally paid) on or before December 15. It simply is not fair to everyone else if you are a dead beat. You have had time to save the funds and you will have a few more weeks.

Thank you.

Jay.

Jay - start counting Month period after i recive money atleast. cuz i would try to get the skirts this weekend, but IF there wount be needed number of persons or somthign fails, i dont want to be left with the process started and loss of $. As for now - just start with the downpayment - then you have all of them collected - let me know and i will buy the skirts ASAP. Only think what bothers me is delivery of the from UK (it might take about a week) once i get them here - everything will go quick. As i mentioned - 1 month production time (it might take even less time...) but to buy them, get them to me, test fit - is another figure...

Im thinking the real date for you guys to get them - would be after new year about 15 - 25 Jan.

Cuz even if i finished them before Xmas - it would be imposible to send them according HOW busy Postal services are before Xmas...

Just clearing situation.

You will get the money today. Please PM me with your paypal information again. As for the timing, everyone understands that production will take some time. January seems very reasonable to me.

Wow what a difference a day makes!

Ok so we went from 500 to 465 to 400 to $320 shipped to our doors. Thats amazing. I bet alot more people will jump in if you announced that they are now 320. Thats very competitive with skirts from comanies where fitment absolutely sucks....and these look better anyway!

Thank you doggy and jay, Im glad we found a compromise.
I've just been watching over this for a while and I must say Doggy you are amazing!
GODDAMNIT I WANT THESE SKIRTS!!!!!!!

Update: Romas has asked for bank transfer rather than paypal which is not a problem for me. Payment will be made on Monday assuming I get his wiring instructions before then. Romas, please PM the bank wire information.

Money sent by wire transfer today. We are in business gentlemen!

The wire transfer fee was a flat $42 which I do not individually intend to absorb. There will be another $42 fee once the balance is sent in. This means the skirts will be $334 shipped unless Romas is willing to accept the balance by paypal and then it will be $327 shipped.
