Incorporate the fee in the selling price of your product.

There's no point, by the time he incorporates the fee, the money for him to buy postage supplies, the petrol for running around and a little for himself, we may as well just order the stuff ourselves. It's not like it's hard to track down.
Excellent DIY by the way.

Did i quote you? No.

Therefore my statment wasn't directed at you.

Was stating how cheap it is to become a vendor....

vodkalush · 06-26-2007, 08:20 AM

people calm down

*Chris07LB* · 06-26-2007, 08:33 AM

Dont worrie, WE are not a bunch of pussies here.. we can talk to each other without getting all offended.

vodkalush · 06-26-2007, 08:39 AM

good. I hope soo.... I've seen where these things have gone in the past....

but once again, great DIY and I'll be doing this one at the same time as my oil catch can

*Chris07LB* · 06-26-2007, 08:42 AM

Im sure I can even whip up a bunch of these brackets for guys at no cost at all.

Maybe even do a DIY just on how to make them, so guys can go out and do everything themselves.

vodkalush · 06-26-2007, 08:57 AM

that sounds like a rite good idea

edit: I like the DIY on the bracket making

I'm awaiting a return PM from YarisBeuler...before I comment anymore. Hang on I PMed him early today.

falkor_99 · 06-26-2007, 12:42 PM

It looks really good, but isnt there a better spot for it. It looks like it gets in the way.

of?

churp · 06-26-2007, 09:32 PM

Guess I'm going to ask the members their opinion. I got a quote today on having the brackets fabricated....laser cut/bent on a press brake/and powder coated black (would be professional looking). I am currently not a business, but I PMed Yaris Bueler and after all day haven't heard back from him on forum rules (vacation?). So far I have no idea how many people would be interested in purchasing these brackets (priced according to quantity), but if anyones interested say so for a group buy or whatever...and if anyone knows where to find any forum rules, also let me know (probably in front of my face but I'm gettin old so I have an excuse). I'm not quoting a price because I don't know the rules!!!!

BailOut · 06-26-2007, 09:50 PM

I wish you good luck regarding hearing back from Yaris Bueller. Months ago I sent him 2 PMs and 2 emails and never heard a word back. I don't think eTiMaGo has heard from him for a long time, either.

churp · 06-26-2007, 10:47 PM

There should be a listing of forum rules somewhere....anyone have an idea where? Would anyone need to be supporting sponser if they could list their products in the classifieds? Are the classifieds open to anything Yaris related? What are the group buy rules? Gues I'll repost this in the questions remarks section.

cali yaris · 06-27-2007, 01:56 AM

I'll buy a set, so count me in, group buy or not.

curik · 06-27-2007, 08:09 AM

I'm in also!

churp · 06-27-2007, 08:00 PM

Doesn't look like a lot of interest for the laser cut brackets w/powder coat...so I won't pursue it at $10/set for a qty of 50 sets. But if anyone wants I could hand bend/drill/paint a limited few for a similar cost. PM me only I'm not going to post anymore on this thread.
