Sunday Campers RTT GROUP BUY CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Count me in, Orange County CA

 

Im in. Florida would be nice!!

 

So is this first buy definitely capped at 20?

 

Baltimore vote, but still in to pick mine up either way. Anyone Mid-Atlantic in the same boat? (with a spot on the list)
@mlevinson @Jibbs @jowybyo @trdsport6 ?

 

I am very interested if we can get a mid Atlantic pickup spot. It doesn't look like I was added to the list however.

 

Not sure if my vote counts on this one, but I say Mobtown for the 3rd shipping spot

 

How much is the larger version? The one that is the size of the CVT Mt Rainier.

 

So what's the deal with this? I'm in San Diego California. Is this closed ?

 

Hey, if we get 40 ppl can we get the price lower?

 

I'm fine with any of the east coast shipping locations, but if I have to go to Texas or out west I'm out

 

Interested, Los Angeles, CA

 

Yes. For this first round it is capped at 20.

I am not sure. I believe this order is for the 2-3 person only.

It is closed. Sorry.

Not this round. Shipping is a nightmare. Please stay tuned for how this ends. If its a positive result we will probably do a 2nd round.

Understandable.

 

Your contact that's helping you commented that he could just as easily order the larger version. Just curious.

 

Okay guys. As you can all see there is HIGH interest in this. I am very happy that you guys are interested in this. My alerts and inbox are off the chain.

That being said there are some important things that need to be clarified.

East Coast people
1) As mentioned previously a bulk of the orders are going to California and Texas. The only outliers on the list are
@Stoach Pierogi in Pennsylvania, @Jerneyman & @Key-Rei who are both in Alabama. @mlevinson in North Carolina, and @Jibbs in Ohio.
The vote seems to be in favor of @Key-Rei who is in Alabama, but has said he could handle the shipment in Florida.
Mobtown is not on the list. Although he was interested it does not seem fair to add him without the group approval, and since the vote seemed to have gone to @Key-Rei , I don't think its fair to add him to the list when there is already a list of people who were interested past the 20 mark. More on this later.

2) So it seems the only thing we are waiting for is the final price, and the cost of shipping to Texas. East Coast people are in an unfortunate circumstance where they will probably have to pay more for it to be shipped from California to Florida. I don't know how much this will cost, but I assume it will add another 100/200 to the order. If this is a deal breaker that is fine. Just let me know and I will add someone else to the list. My recommendation is for you guys to pay a member to go down there and get it for you all. That seems way cheaper than having it individually shipped to your location. Again, if this is a deal breaker please let me know.

Interest is not commitment

I understand that there are still things up in the air. We don't know how much the final price is going to be, and we don't know how much it will cost to be shipped to Texas/East coast, and if the East Coast people (5) will even want to participate in this group buy after they have read this message.

The earliest we can get an answer to these questions is Tuesday since the manufacturer is in China. Francis also has a life, as well as I. That being said, I am committed to buying one. I was committed at the $700 mark. It will probably be lower than that, but again, nothing sure. You all need to be honest with me, and yourselves. There is a number in your head that is a cut off. I need to know that number, feel free to PM me or say it here. Your preference. I mention this because there are/is A LOT of interest still in people wanting to get in on this. I quit updating the list because it was too much work. A good bulk of these people, somehow, and again, are in California and Texas. So this next part I state out of full transparency, and so we all know the rational behind the action:

If you are not willing to pay more than $600 for this tent, all costs included, let me know. As stated by Francis on his post, we need people who are ready and willing to pay when we start phase 1. We cannot have, and do not want, to be held up by people who are not sure, or don't have the money. We have to move as a group. That is one of the reasons why we capped it.
If $600 is to much for you, I will put someone else on the list who is committed, giving priority to the shipping location and price IE: California and Texas interest.

It should be mentioned that this is my first time doing this. I do not have a bias towards California/Texas. You guys can go back and re read this entire thread. That is where the majority came from.

If this goes smoothly and positively, we will do another round. If it seems the East Coast guys got screwed, it was not on purpose, and pending the success of this GB, I will try and make one especially for this group, and part of the country.

If any one has any grievances, let me know. I am trying to be transparent and fair, and I want this to be successful.

Thank you again for your interest and I will keep you guys updated.

 

I asked him and I will get back to you as soon as I get an answer.

 

Thanks

 

If and when you get things sorted for the east coast let me know. I am not committing to something with no information. Things like a proposed pricing structure and shipping location(s) like have been established for the west coast group I don't think is too much to ask to be a committed buyer. Not much of a point of committing to something that is unrealistic.

 

You can change me from interested to committed then, im #14 on the list on page 1.

 

Just saw this thread. Ready for round 2 I am interested in the larger version.

 

That is fair. All I ask if for the cutoff number so I know who definitely will not be in.
