If we have the 10+ buy break now lets make it happen now, waiting a couple of months for a 20 buy seems pointless you'll save $5 to do that!

You can always run another GB if the interest is there.

The stock one has holes in it as well, where the cover is crimped onto the solenoid housing.

I agree.
No need to wait months to save another $5

OK, it seems like the consensus is to move sooner rather than later. Let's do this: I'll arbitrarily set the cutoff date for participation at two weeks from today, i.e. 5 PM EST Friday 21 August 2009. On Monday, I'll contact IMI and let them know of the 10 confirmations we currently have to make sure they have their supplies and assembly resources queued up.

In the meantime, everyone who has confirmed, please send me a PM with your email address, your proper name, and your shipping address. I will begin invoicing via paypal on Wednesday of next week. If we subsequently hit the 20 piece discount, I'll simply issue a partial refund of the $5 when the time comes.

Any objections?

I've not heard any objections, so we'll stick with the above schedule. I've already started receiving emails and addresses, but I need more. Please get them in to me via private message so I can begin invoicing later today.

FWIW, I've just confirmed with IMI that they have enough inventory in stock presently to cover the order, so once we place the order on or about the 21st, fulfillment shouldn't be much more than a week or so (judging from their performance on the last group buy).

I'm still waiting for a number of email addresses. I don't want to invoice until I have at least ten people that have sent me email addresses.

Thanks for your patience. Have you tried IM-ing the remaining people? I know I've had trouble finding this thread a few times. Perhaps some of the participants haven't checked in lately.

Guys, just a reminder: my contact at IMI is on vacation next week, so if we want to get the order in their system before he leaves, I'll need to receive your payments by 4 PM EST tomorrow (Fri 21 Aug). Otherwise, the ordering process will be delayed until 31 Aug.

Bump...would be nice to get this order in tomorrow. Again, no rush on my account, but if we don't wrap things up tomorrow, it will delay everything by one week.

OK, well, since we missed the COB deadline yesterday, we now have until 31 August for anyone else that might be interested in participating. List updated above and a big BUMP to the top.

I'm interested- PM on the way w/e-mail addy, etc... Is paypal an acceptable payment option? I'm hurting financially at the moment, but have been considering this for a few wks. Since I'm still making the IceShark battery cables, having one of these would allow me to modify them for those who have this starter & still want IceShark cable. Plus, I like to save weight, even if it is just 2lbs.

thanks
