Hi STG, I'll buy them off you once you're ready to sell.

Their patent was first granted in 2009, so around 2029 or so...

I believe the owner of the company is an attorney.

Will do. I had someone else message me first, so I'll let you know that falls through.

I faced the same problem. I emailed them to ask about this. I was offered to get on a "blemish" list. If you look in the photos, mine are not black or shiny (finished). I had a set of these from the blemish list within 3 weeks.

I'm trying to understand why people would choose 4 jackpoint stands over. let's say, the quickjack https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-4...k=AAAAAAUBAQEB - after you throw in a floor jack to use them, the price is not that much more of a stretch to get greater clearance under the vehicle and from what I can tell, excellent stability/safety. I don't think storage space would be much different either, seeing as you can flatten the quickjacks and hang them on a wall, then store the pump mechanism somewhere. Once initial assembly is out of the way, getting the car in the air with quickjack might be faster, and in a tight garage space, room to pump a floor jack handle can be an issue.

Don't have either but am shopping my options for something safe, affordable and convenient/portable

Agreed. I weighed both options (still do). Already had a floor jack, and was initially only looking for 2 jack stands, to help me decide against a lift. That, and, at the moment, I mainly intend to do wheel and brake work only, where I won't need the entire car lifted. Lastly, I did see a youtube video of someone using homemade jack stands (stacked 2x10's and a puck sized block on top) to demonstrate how to jack up a 911 at all four points using a floor jack and a scissor jack. While certainly not as convenient, I can see where I could jack up a side of the 911, at the rear, placing a non-Jackpoint jack stand at the front, and 1 of my 2 Jackpoint stands at the rear. Repeat for the other side.

You're a lucky man. I had to wait 4 months for mine.
