Default Group buy - Antitheft Porsche crest valve stems -----updated "I'm in" list

I emailed about some bulk discounts for these Porsche valve stems. They are antitheft because you need to stick a little something in there to unscrew them, and Johnny Criminal probably wont have a safety pin on him if he tries to take them.

Prices are:
20 sets, U$ 6.39 each
50 sets, U$ 5.49 each

They can be seen on these ebay auctions by brazilshopping. Looks like 3 different types:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33747

I think if I push it I could get 20 sets for $6 each, and shipping would be cheaper to have them all shipped to one person (me or whoever wants to do it) in the US, then have them put in bubble mailers and mailed out. Should only be $2-$3 for shipping.

I have already ordered 2 sets at full price so we'll see how they turn out. I'll let you all know how the antitheft thing turns out, and we can forget it if they suck. The crests look like little stick on things on the end, I want to see those too and make sure they are stuck good. They'll be here in 2 weeks.

Whoever's in for a set FOR SURE please post your in....

I wasn't aware that there was a problem with people stealing valve caps.

I have seen them all the time on ebay.


I think I'll pass on this one.

Ok, If you ARE interested in getting them, post here. If you are NOT, then create a new thread titled "The valve stem group buy sucks" and talk amongst yourselves there.

if its really going to total out to 10 bucks or less with shipping, I am in. (for the first set) btw, if they turn out to be really as off center as the other ones, especially the second, I'll be annoyed.
