UPDATE! Sierra Group purchase

DCBluesman · Oct 6, 2005

EDIT: I spoke with Bill this evening. The 2nd group buy of these kits (the one I'm running) is on the road from Cleveland to Yuma as we speak and is expected to arrive in Yuma on 11/14. Add a day for counting, packaging and re-shipping and I should see these by about 11/18. I have the supplies ready to go so with a little luck some of you will get them by Thanksgiving. Thanks for all of your patience!

Kits due to arrive in Virginia on November 22!

Since the JimGo group buy is now closed, I will run a buy for this group on the new Sierra kit from Arizona Silhouette.

There ARE stock issues with this kit. The upgrade gold and the chrome are sold out at AS and their supplier (Berea HardWoods). More are on order and will likely arrive within 2 weeks.

Pricing:

Upgrade Gold - $4.10 each
Chrome - $4.10 each
Gold Titanium - $8.20 each
Platinum - $6.90 each
Satin Nickel - $6.00 each
Satin Gold - $6.25 each
Satin Silver - $6.25 each

Bushings (20A) - $6.00 per set
Drill bit (27/64") - $7.90 each
Extra tubes - Not yet available

This is not a money-making effort, but it won't be a money-losing efort either. Beyond the direct costs indicated above, each order will be charge my PayPal fees ($0.30 +2.9%) and shipping of $$5.50, which includes insurance. International orders will have the shipping adjusted to reflect the cost of insured Global Priority Mail.

I cannot accept orders without insurance as I cannot take the risk of loss in the mail.

I strongly prefer PayPal, but will take money orders.

If you want to participate in this group buy, please indicate your order here and send an email to me through the forum mail. In that email, make sure to include your PayPal ID so I can invoice you.

This group buy will end at 5pm Eastern on October 21, at which time the order will be placed. With a little luck (and no more supply issues) I hope to have the orders to you by November 7.

Ron Mc · Oct 6, 2005

Since this won't end until the 21st can we go ahead and order gold and chrome and hope for the best?

DCBluesman · Oct 6, 2005

Yes! I will be in regular contact with Bill so he gets an idea of what size and variety of order he should expect. He will work with us (to the extent that Taiwan cooperates [

]). If there are any backorder situations, I will let the group know, so order away! ALL PLATINGS!

RPM · Oct 6, 2005

Lou,
I guess I'll kick this off with the following:
5 of each of the satin finishes (gold, nickel, silver)
5 of the chrome

I reserve my right to increase before this closes [

]
Richard

dubdrvrkev · Oct 6, 2005

I'll do 5 satin nickle, 5 satin silver, and 5 chrome. if tubes become available in the time of this I'll be adding some of those also. Just in case [}

alamocdc · Oct 6, 2005

Lou, put me down for 5 gold, 5 of each of the satins, and 10 chrome.

DCBluesman · Oct 6, 2005

Which gold, Billy, upgrade or Titanium?

alamocdc · Oct 6, 2005

Sorry, upgrade, I already ordered the TN.

Scott · Oct 6, 2005

Hi Lou!

I would like to order ten of the chrome, and a set of bushings. Thanks for doing this!

Scott.

jeff · Oct 7, 2005

Lou - Many thanks for doing this!
I'll take 5 Chrome, 5 Satin Silver, 5 Ti Gold, bushings, and a bit.

DCBluesman · Oct 7, 2005

Ok, Jeff and Scott. BTW, Scott has recently proven that he can still turn a pen. Where's your newest creation, Jeff? [

It's called "The Y! penturners search is now running on MySQL". My next creation will be called "Finish wiring the shop and install the dust collector." [

coach · Oct 7, 2005

Sent an email Lou.

DCBluesman · Oct 8, 2005

Randy_ · Oct 9, 2005

Lou: I'm going to put in a small order; but got to get one off to BB to take advantage of this weeks special!!

DCBluesman · Oct 10, 2005

This group buy seems to have run out of steam. Since, the activity has died down, I'm thinking of closing it on Friday October 14th, sending out invoices Friday night and placing the order over the weekend. LET ME KNOW HERE if I need to keep this open for the extra week originally intended.

Also, Kevin--please send me the address where I should send your invoice.

JimGo · Oct 10, 2005

Lou, what's the total so far? I may add a few kits too, especially if you aren't getting near the 100-kit limit.

DCBluesman · Oct 10, 2005

Jim--We're well over 100, but don't let that stop you. [

Ligget · Oct 11, 2005

Lou can I order 10 chrome kits and 1 set of bushings please. I feel a turning spree coming on!!!

DCBluesman · Oct 11, 2005

You're covered, Mark--but only if you promise to turn and show a pen! [

]

Ligget · Oct 11, 2005

Lou,just for you pal!![

]

skewzdust · Oct 11, 2005

Lou, I'd like 5 upgrade gold, 5 chrome, 5 satin nickel, 1 set bushings, and 1 drill bit.

I'd have gotten to you sooner but my paypal account was undergoing an internal audit. I bribed the auditor with some more scrapbooking materials so everything is solvent again...

Ligget · Oct 11, 2005

Good job I read Steves post!

Lou I will also require 1 drill bit with my order!

10 x chrome kit
1 x bushing set
1 x drill bit

Thanks[

Mac In Oak Ridge · Oct 11, 2005

Put me down for 10 of the Upgrade Gold. And a set of bushings.

DCBluesman · Oct 11, 2005

Steve and Mac--got you covered. Mark - updated! [8D]

Ron Mc · Oct 12, 2005

Lou,
I'm in for:
10 upgrade gold
10 chrome
1 set bushings
1 drill bit
1 partridge in a pear tree
Thanks for the assist!

hombre4 · Oct 12, 2005

I'll take 10 Gold Titanium and 10 Platinum...

Thanks....Archie

Mudder · Oct 12, 2005

Okay Lou,

2 Chrome
2 Satin Nickel
2 Satin Gold
2 Satin Silver

Scott

P.S. Thanks for coordinating this buy.

DCBluesman · Oct 12, 2005

Ron Mc, hombre4 and Mudder are in. Coach, I made your change.

To all who are ordering: Be sure to check the numbers I have beside your name in the first post. That's what I will be ordering for you and the numbers are in the order that the kits and parts are listed on the page. I can make changes up through Friday, but after that I will have everything on lock down. Make sure you have thought about bushings (I ordered two sets so I can turn two barrels on the same mandrel) and drill bits.

REVIEW YOUR ORDER, PLEASE.

JimGo · Oct 12, 2005

Lou, I'll take 5 of the chrome and 5 of the satin silver, please.

Scott, didn't you know that Jeff doesn't acutally do any woodworking?

MDWine · Oct 12, 2005

5 Satin Silver
1 set bushings

(Like that 2 on a mandrel thing!)

skewzdust · Oct 12, 2005

Two bushings....Brilliant!!

I think I'd better stick with one at a time until I get better at this.

Lou, sent you an email. We're having problems with our email filter so I just want to make sure you got it.

Leather Man · Oct 13, 2005

Lou, I sent you an e-mail.
Ben

DCBluesman · Oct 13, 2005

Got it, Ben. You're in. And for the rest of you, see JimGo's update to his group purchase. http://www.penturners.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9606&whichpage=6#99233 Our effort will be behind his.

pastorbill1952 · Oct 13, 2005

Morning Lou,
5 gold, 2 chrome,2 satin nick 2 satin gold, 2 satin silver 1 set of bushings

Ron Mc · Oct 13, 2005

Lou,
Add one more set of bushings to my order.
Does Bill know that we have a second bulk buy on these kits on the way? What is his bushing situation?

DCBluesman · Oct 13, 2005

Bill is definitely aware of the order dropping this weekend. I've been updating him so he could get his orders in. As far as I know, there is no problem with the satin kits, the bushings or the drill bits. As soon as we get the order ready, I will speak to Bill about a timeframe for him completing the order.

Ron Mc · Oct 13, 2005

Lou,
After carefully reviewing my order on the 1st page I noted that the drill bit I wanted wasn't on my list. Can we add this? LOL
Thanks for all your hard work on this.

Randy_ · Oct 14, 2005

One satin nickel.
One satin gold.
One satin silver.
One set bushings.

Thanks.
