    Hey all! Running a Optima Battery Group Buy!
    A couple notes / rules about the groupbuy!
    1. We can't release who our contact is.
    2. Must pay in cash.
    3. Must pay in advance.
    4. No minimum or maximum requirements.
    5. This is for all yellow, red, and blue top batteries.
    6. Contact myself or @inesshell to place an order.
    7. We will be trying collect batteries from the contact in sets of 10.
    8. This is local only! PDX area only. No shipping. If you would like i can store your battery in my garage until you have time to pick it up.

    If you are outside of the PDX area and really want to get in on the deal send me a PM!

    I'm in for a D31 Blue top, but curious as well, why cash and why up front payment? How can we be sure we get hat we paid for? Brand New batteries I'm assuming?

    Hey all! Cash in advance because my contact (the middle man) is requiring it.
    From what I understand he doesn't want to order batteries and get stuck with them if we don't follow through.
    I already placed an order for 8 batteries that the fb group I'm in ordered. and will have them this weekend. If you choose to jump in on this shoot me a PM and let me know! I can try and add you this order otherwise I'll place another order next week.

    If any southern OR/northern cali folks plan to get in on this, I will be going up to Portland on the first and can bring some back south and you can pick up in Myrtle Creek. If I wasn't using two months worth of non-allocated funds on the first, I'd be ordering batteries for trailers.

    Why not ask for a deposit from buyers? Half now, half later or something like that. If you dont come through you loose the deposit simple pimple.
    Sounds really sketched when you want all cash up front for your 'contact' who cant be known :spy:

    Lol I'm just extending the savings.
    If it's to "sketch" then don't participate.
    I was upfront about everything with the original post.
    And because I end up paying my contact for the batteries. Then if the person doesn't pay up the remaining monies I'm out money too and then I'm sitting on a battery I have to sell. I'm not about that. I'm not going to invest my money to help someone save money. If someone wants to save money they can invest their own money.
