HomemadeTurbo - DIY Turbo Forum - NEW Eprom Programmer Group Buy SHIPPED

The shipping took a bit longer due to health issues (Migraines) but they are all shipped and on their way.

So after talking with Andre from Batronix via email trying to get a further discount, I emailed our order for him to look at, and our prices are wrong. The emails are offset by about a day because of time differences, so it took a few days for us to figure this out. When the group buy was set up, the prices were accurate, but now the prices have been adjusted. Supposidly the USD lost value vs. the Euro recently, and prices are up almost 30%. The lowest price we can get on the burner is the current $107.90 for 5-19 burners. Or an extra $15.16 per person. The ZIFs prices haven't been adjusted yet, so he said we'd get those at the same older prices...

YOU GUYS NEED TO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO ASAP. If you want out, I'll refund the money on Paypal, Otherwise I'll need you to paypal another $16/person. I found out the hard way, Paypal charges 3% plus $0.30 per fee, so these small amounts get charged more. I'm not getting anything this time around, so it's all up to you guys.

If I don't have feedback by Saturday, you're paypal is coming back and we can do this again when the Dollar is stronger.

2/4/04
This is a second group buy for those who missed the first, it worked pretty well, so I thought I'd do it again and buy some extra stuff for myself.

We're going in on the Eprom Programmer 4 from Batronix. It's the nice one with the case, adapter, cable, and software, essentially a very nice unit.

How it's gonna work:
The Deadline for this is Tuesday 2/17/04. That should give most of you time to arrange payment. Payments may be made to me via paypal or you can send me a MO, or Cash (your risk) or Cashier's Check, whatever. I'm gonna place the order first thing Monday morning (9:00-10:00 AM CST), and then when I get them, I'll divy up the order, and ship them out to you guys from my place. While this sounds stupid and more costly, it's not, since the products are coming from Germany, and shipping to individuals from there would end up being more costly.

Products:
Batronix Programmer 4

1...4 Pieces: US$ 109.95
5...19 Pieces: US$ 92.74 *GOAL*
20... Pieces: US$ 86.42

28 Pin ZIF socket for our ECUs

1...7 Pieces $9.51
8...47 Pieces $8.41 *GOAL*

So add up whatever quanity you want of each (using the goal quanity prices), and then send me paypal or whatever.

Add $18 for shipping/handling from Batronix to me, and priority mail (2day -cheap) from me to you, plus add 3% to the whole order if paying paypal, to cover the fee.

Example
1 burner, 1 socket.

$92.74
$8.41
= $101.15
= $18 s&h
(just over $9/peice from Germany, and like $7 s&h from me to you- extra for packaging)
= $119.15x 1.03 (paypal only)
= $122.72 or round up to $123 actual paypal fees are slightly higher.

Paypal - $123 for Burner and 1 ZIF socket
(rounded)$114 for just the burner

Basically, it's like getting the burner for only $5 shipping, it's normally like $140 to get one shipped to you. So you are saving money...

Not to scare people, you can call me @ 612-281-5527 and talk with me about it, if you're nervous. I'm in school and I work, so if I don't answer, I'll call back, don't fret. Or email (paypal too) @ fried_rich@hotmail.com.
