hey alex, yeah i had a huge GB thread up on an OEM CF hood for 1st gens, one i'm sure will go through... we need 20 people, im trying to negotiate 10, however the more the merrier. admin told me that i gotta get vending fee of $250 down first before i can post any GB's, which is pretty weird cuz i'm not a vendor or trying to make profit, just getting some shiet together.

its located in whittier bro, we can go pick it up with all the other socal people...

if this is good, i will start getting interest up again and then pay the GB vending fee, then start the GB

since i'm going to be paying the damn $250 fee, i'm going to include an additional 12.5 to each purchase so that all 20 buyers ill chip in for the GB fee... also i hope no one flakes out on me cuz im taking $250 out of my pocket to start things off and get the ball rolling.

Don't pay that gay azz "vending fee". This is a GB for users put together by users and if the admins here don't want it on their site then SCREW THEM, find some other forum to post on.

I'm down for the hood but I'm not down to pay these greedy suckas one dime. Im gonna PM you my contact info.

There is no need to show what you feel to them.

Read my post above, and I'll let you all know when it's created.

baka, i believe they are grade AA rolled edges... i'm sure seibon makes some good shiet, if u guys dont like seibon, we can always get vis to do it, just that my friend has less control over vis and more over seibon since his boss is friends with the boss of seibon... plus seibin will make it faster

I seen their products and they look good, I just dont want to spend 500+ on a hood that isn't AA quality and rolled edges.

It's a GB for users put together by users ON THE ADMIN'S WEBPAGE which is paid for BY THE ADMIN (soopa). Greedy? Do you know how much it costs each month to keep this site active? Last time I checked you didn't have to pay to join this site, nor do you pay for each post (which continually takes up more and more space on the servers).

You are a moron. Advertising is never free. A group buy, even at a discount, will give the vendor a huge profit with little to no leg work. Capitalism > *

450 shipped wouldn't be that bad, I love how these threads magically double from the original price. I am down, I just hate how $300 turns to 450, then to 700. I wonder who's tacking on the middle man fees.

This is how a Group Buy works..

You contact the supplier of the said part. You tell them there is a interest in their product on AZ.. You request they contact AZ to set up a Group Buy (GB).

They contact the admins and negotiate a term and price of the GB to run.. I don't see why he's saying the GB cost has to come out of Your pocket.

Like the Thermoblock Spacers a $100 product the site got a X amount and the members got $10 off and free shipping..

Everyone is happy and the members deal directly with the company and not a "middle" man who could run with the money.

Seems fishy that the cost has went from $300 to $450 and now it's going to cost everyone $150 in shipping for a total of $600..

I really hope this guy doesn't decide to run with the money or put a little extra in his pocket..

guys be careful before sending money to anyone. Same goes with buying anything else. Make sure that silver has pics and everything legit and stuff before you start sending money. The price went up from 300 to 600? Perhaps we could get the contact info of the manurfacturer and pay them directly as opposed to paying the middle man.

In any terms, lets just wait a bit to see if this really will get made before we do anything

no one is tacking anything... i said in the original post that $300 is the price but couldjump to $400, it is not a sudden price increase out of nowhere.

also, i believe its around $700 to get one for yourself, i dont know why everyone is still backing out even if it is $250 cheaper. $300 would've been great, i know.

the guy i know is close friends with the boss of seibon and his company is within 5 minutes of where i live. he told me to organize a GB for 1st gen CL and he will get us a good price on high-quality hoods. i don't know why everyone is getting suspicious, i know u guys don't know me as well as VXCL or joe or whatev, but i don't think i've done anything shady or anything so i hope that you guys can at least trust me.

lets all talk on the myspace forums, you guys can voice your opinions on there.

This is why Group Buys are organized directly between the AcuraZine staff and the vendor. No middle man.

GBs that are made by a "middle man" NEVER work.

I hope the price doesn't go UP anymore.
