    If I ever put a snorkel on mine, which might not be a bad idea considering the dusty roads I drive on every time I go in or out of here, I'll just go straight to the manufacturer's website, I think...

    So he actually paid for the snorkels, but now has to pay import fees? I don't know how international merchandise shipping works, this all seems strange to me how this appears to work...

    I always assumed he skimmed some off the top, that part doesn't bother me. It's the whole lying about it and screwing us over on the timely delivery that's angering.

    Remember guys, he was paying wholesale, with a large margin (40% plus) so that $335 was a much lower wholesale price for him (roughly at $200 each). The 60 geniuses (including me) that paid "retail", likely covered the wholesale cost of the 100. Now he didn't get past 60 buyers, so no more cash leftover to pull the product out of port of entry.

    Wonderful, sounds like he was banking on more participants while the cargo ship was en route.

    It would be a percentage of the price he paid from Airflow I believe, I'm trying to google how this works as we talk.

    $495 MSRP. I calculated his margin based on his sell price of $335

    Ok, assuming a import tax of 3% on 100 snorkels at 500 MSRP....1500 dollars? Anyone know what the actual import tax on these is?

    So if he doesn't have money for the import fees how's he going to ship them? He needs to just take out a loan, to try and save face.
