This, to me, seems like in an inappropriate answer. The logistics of business aren't always straightforward and group buys are nothing but a bonus. No one complains (justifiably) when they go to a store sale and certain items are out-of-stock. Not judging on your comment, just an observation.

Sure it is, there are only 30 or less CF lips spreading over 50 states.

Hi Guys, I do appreciate all the interest, (now that we pretty much just gave them away, lol). The idea of the group buy was for a few select people to get it at that price. In this case 20 people. We cannot just lower the price of these and just keep giving them away at the group buy price without a group buy. We only had 20 lips at the time I made this group buy, as much as I love the extra business, I do not even have anything for any one over the 20 people as you can see. To make more lips cost us money, we still will probably be doing this. But the lips will not be made for at least one month probably. At that time pricing will go back to normal. But if maybe there is a lot of interest at the time, I wont say this will never happen again since there are so many people wanting it. But lets just wait until we have more so we can at least have something to give you. Talking about who does not have one now will not be getting anyone anywhere.

Actually a few are going to Canada and even out of North America.

you have to read the sentence after that ...

Why is this an inappropriate answer? How many people actually paid for them and not just signed up on the list, i didnt say he should sell them to everyone for that price just the people who's orders were cancelled...p.s., some stores give rainchecks if an item is out of stock.

No one who is not getting a lip paid. You may have placed an order to see if you made the list of 20 people but those people who are not getting a lip did not get charged therefor they did not pay anything whatsoever.

We are not Walmart, we do not give rainchecks on a limited production/supply of items when we clearly specify only 20 people and no more are getting a lip. No where did we say if it goes over 20 anyone gets anything. This was for the first 20 people and no more.

Neal don't sweat man it. I got a feelin no matter how this thing would've gone down, someone would be upset. Tis the nature of the beast. You'll drive yourself crazy trying to satify everyone.

I'm not trying be disingenuous to those that missed, because I might have been a tad upset at 1st. But the man can run his business however he chooses. My 1st group buy here anyways, but I was under the assumption that it did go by that list. But for all we know, he treated the list as # of interested people and once it got past 20, the he opened sales to 1C/1S. Bottomline, cut the man some slack for even offering the lip at these prices in the 1st place.

no offense, but you should be the last to talk. you came in at the very last minute expecting to get on the list. you would not have even been in the 20. people that were very high on the list didn't even get the lip, it was more chance than anything else...

LISTEN, you all are coming down on me for no reason, IM NOT TRYING TO BE AN ***!! I have done many group buys on the bimmerworld forum and have never encountered a vendor running out in the middle of one so yes im a little upset about it but ill get over it. All i was doing was asking if those who placed orders, after the 20 ran out, would get a break if more were made. Neal i never said anything negative about you and i agree it was very generous of you to do this group buy, but nowhere in the thread doese it say ONLY 20 will be sold, it says a price point IF it reached 20, then you stated you only had a few over 20, you never said what would be done for the people who came in late and if it went over 20, as for me coming in late I happen to have a job that requires me to work alot of hours i can't sit on a forum all day, to see if i can get in on a group buy.

Your Snotty comments are not appreciated...

vraa

Relax man, you're just adding fuel to the fire you started...

In the first post --

That means the group buy for was for 20 max, he didn't list anything higher than that. And on top of that everyone knew this was a hot item and a one time production run (at least so far it is).

jan ken po

Whats with peeps on the forum these days. Man your 1st post after it was closed was you yelling at the man on how he should & should not run HIS group-buy. May have not said a negative word, but the tone of it sure was. In fact he mentioned the # he had in a previous post. And if you can't sit on a forum all day waiting on a smokin hot group buy, then again, you should be last complaining about not being able to get in on it.

this is just a mere suggestion, so don't even come down on me cuz i'll go if anyone trips, Neal just consider another g/b, as you can witness from the interest building up, it may not even have to be as awesome as the first one. i got left out too, but that's not anyone's fault, i could just hope for a 2nd g/b. man i miss out big time though...

kickR

hahaha, i think everyone knows i wasnt rubbing it it. i'm stoked tho. anyway, i hope he makes more too, but even at $599 it's still a great price.

EV0LVE

you think $599 is a great price, well then go buy it at $599 and I'll take your's for $300c .

14cue

yes i do! it's not that bad at all. so we lucked out. better luck next time. ppl are way too sensitive. chill out.
i dont see ppl who got it over reacting.

Haha, it's amazing how different you drive when you have a CF lip installed. I'm so **** about getting mine scrapped I slow down even at the slightest bumps.

Today I was going to the mall, and one part of the mall had nothing but HUGE SPEED BUMPS all over the place. I had no choice but to drive around it, which took a helluva lot longer, but at least I avoided scraping. My friends were like, "So instead of driving straight down to the exit, you're going all around the mall because....?"

They don't understand!

For the $600+ I paid for it, I'm def protecting my investment!
