Group buy on leathers

[guessinthe2000]

So i talked to dave from http://www.spartanleathers.com and he is putting together a group buy on CUSTOM leather suits... if you are interested in this stay tuned. I'll post how many people we need and what the final price will be. $425 is his original price that you can see on his website... so it should be cheaper than that...

Here is the email he sent me....

I'll tell you what Sam,
If you can get 20 orders, and get the spreadsheet/image work done, I can do the base suits for $380 each. I still have to charge $20 for custom lettering if people want it, and if the men's 2pc is available by then I will have to charge and extra $25 for it, as that's how much more it costs me to have those made. And if anybody wants back protectors, I'll sell those for $35 each instead of $50.
So:
Base Mens 1pc or Women's 2pc - $380
Base Mens 2pc - $405
Custom lettering - $20
Shipping - $23
If a bunch of suits are local to an area or group, I would be happy to ship them all together and charge only the actual shipping amount.

As regards this group buy, these prices would be only for your group buy. I cant offer these prices to everybody, so I'd appreciate it if you didnt advertise the price openly.

If that's all agreeable, and if you have any questions, let me know.
Thanks,
Dave Baumann

... that said... Let me know who is in... I'm advertising this on kawiforums.com, csc forum, and hai... so 20 people should be easy to do. I already got people that are willing to do this from other forums... so tell me who is in.... (I think I already have 12 people that want to for sure do it. Try to really go through with the group buy, nobody likes a flaker. As far as shipping goes let me know who is down for their suits shipped to my work address so that you don't have to pay so much for shipping... If you don't want it shipped to my work and save a little you are welcome to pay the 25 to get it shipped to your address. My address is (I work pretty much accross from fay myers)

I've been looking at his site, tentatively yes here. I was going to go with a rack size but if he can come close to matching that price..

Let us know the details, I'd be in though.

[ihavealegohead]

Have to think about this.. I like the idea of just throwing on my jacket and running out for short rides rather then getting the full Monty on. That said would be nice to have as an option if the price is good..

How soon are you going to need the cash? I really want to get in on this, but it's going to be a matter of timing- how soon you need the cash vrs how fast I can scrape up $400 (hey- that's a LOT of money in my world)

Totally understandable, when we get 20 people on the list is when the gb closes and when you have to send him the payment...

Trying to figure out, does he mean base suit in custom sizes or rack sizing? Does the base suit come with the back hump?

more than sure he means base suit in custom... otherwise he would be charging us more than what he shows on his site for the rack sizing... LOLL

Hey Guys - Dave w/ Spartan Leathers here.

I havent been able to get in contact w/ Guessinthe2000 since he started this GB. I thought maybe joining over here might help.
Anybody heard from him?

Anyway, the GB is about to close on the 10th.

A couple guys here were on the "IN" list, so I wanted to see if anybody else wanted in. He started a thread on Kawiforums here:
http://www.kawiforums.com/showthread.php?t=117190

That should answer most of your questions.

Let me know if you want on the list, or off the list.
Thx,
