Default Window Valet GP

This will be my first Group Purchase ever......but the guys on the C5 forum were looking for someone to sponsor this on the C5 Window Valet . I will offer a GP on the C5 and C6 window Valet's at the price points below. Number of orders will be based on the total of C5 and C6 Valet's.

If I get

10 orders the price will be $130 with free shipping....
20 orders the price will be $125 with free shipping....

If you want in on this, just either order the C5 or C6 valet from the links below and mention in the order comments that you are part of the GP(very important or else you will be charged as a regular customer and will not get the GP price as I will not know you are part of the Forum GP). I will hold the GP open for two weeks from today (Feb5th) and then tell everyone how many orders we got and the final price point and will ship everything on the 6th.

Ok guys, time to belly up to the bar with your wallet. Let's see how many of you really wanted the GP.....

Below are the links to order....
C5 Valet
http://southerncarparts.com/window-valet-p-81.html
C6 Valet
http://southerncarparts.com/window-valet-p-69.html

I will also post a thread in the C6 General section...

Ignore the price on the receipt, you will not be charged until the GP ends and will only be charged one of the two prices mentioned above.

Thanks,

Jim Vose

We are already at 14 orders (C5).......This is the best price you are going to get on a C6 Valet. You guys are welcome to jump in, the price is based on the total number of Valet orders (C6 and C5). We are already past the 10 price point and 20 is looking very real.....

Jump in while the waters warm

Thanks,

Jim

We just hit the 20 Order mark....so the price is $125.00 shipped!!!!

Best price you are going to get anywhere on the Valet...get your orders in now to get in on a great deal!!

I am considering closing it at this point and shipping everyone their Valets early....We hit goal....I am thinking I will leave it open until tomorrow evening and then cut it off and ship everyone their products. No since keeping everyone waiting.

Jim,

I just ordered one Sunday and you shipped it already - and then you offer this today - just my luck. Oh well, I will have mine first and it was still free shipping.

GREAT service!

Don't think for a minute that I am upset.

Gary,

I am sorry....this is what I hate about GP's and why I have never done one before. The folks that recently purchased feel like they "missed out" and can sometimes damage more customer relationships rather than help them. As a vendor, the problem is I could go back and issue credits for people who bought before the GP but then I end up losing money as my price point flucuates based on the number I purchase from the manufacturer (hence the reason on a GP, with volume, I can offer a lower price point) and then I also have the issue of where do I draw the line in the sand as far as how far back I go to offer people the GP price.

Thanks Gary,

Jim Vose

Jim, I have been on the "short end of the stick" of deals like this before. However, I do not let it impact how I feel about a vendor. Please don't let this keep you from doing future GP's.

I would not have ordered my Widow Valet had you not offered the GP. The GP "pushed me over the edge" on this item and has increased your business. A Win-Win situation.

GP is going to close today at Midnight. We have far exceeded 20 orders and I am sure everyone would like me to just go ahead ans ship their Valets.

Thanks,
