Re: Tan Tan GR040 Build
Only update I have is that the frame seems to have got stuck during the "Last mile" delivery phase. Hasn't moved since 5th Jan. Got the mech etc. All AliExpress parts. I do know I need a different BB to the one I have but I'll wait until the frame arrives before buying anything else. January 26, 2021, 07:27:44 AM |

Re: Chinese SC/AM831 Group Buy
I would have thought any discount would still be worthwhile. I'd go back and ask for $600 each for this group buy - given the possibility that it could be over 50pcs. Plus shipping and paint etc. I got quoted $750 for a Carbonda Fm1001 so still a fairly decent price. $100 more is about £70. Not the end of the world. At worse, it's a no and either carry on at $630 or bin it off and it's individual purchases as $680. February 04, 2021, 08:19:55 AM |

Re: Chinese SC/AM831 Group Buy
Had a chat with Jenny this morning. Lead time quoted as 60-70 days. She said cost of carbon gone up so USD 550 for 30. USD499 for 50. Shipping to individual group buy member. Shipping would be in top. Pantone colours available but cost on top. Payment - this is where it may fall down. Because they don't know how many will actually order they want one payment. Payment would be made through Alibaba. I'll need to check things like protection etc. I'm in UK so USD550 is £400. That's £12000 before shipping and paint. I could buy 10 of small, medium, large and have shipped to me but then costs on top to ship to members. This would be unpainted as they'd be on a first come first served basis. Also, I'm not taking responsibility if the frame has a defect. Going down the route of taking on responsibility, I'd have to sell close to individual price to cover frame issues/delivery issues. Probably closer to £600 each plus shipping unpainted. Yes, I'd make on them but the whole thing is likely to be a massive ball ache  I don't mind arranging and taking payments off individuals. Can do colours then. You'd get all my contact details and anything else that might be needed to track me down if I take all your money and buy a speed boat or something. That risk is up to you. But I'll collect, pay and arrange shipping etc if that is what everyone wants. Said I'd go back to her next 7-10 days. Thoughts?

Re: Chinese SC/AM831 Group Buy
So, I'm at a stage where the group buy goes ahead, I buy them all myself and roll the dice or knock this on the head. However, can we still get the GB up and running? I can pay up front the first 50%. This will be via Alibaba so my payment is protected. I'm hoping to get agreement that the remaining 50% can be paid by individual buyers with paint and shipping on top. The frames go direct to buyers. There is two frames to a carton so would be helpful if buyers can double up?  From the first 50%, I'd need payment from those on the group buy before the frames are ready for paint. Approximately 60 days. My only proviso is the payment is made as PayPal gift. Once shipped its not my liability if the frame is faulty. If things go wrong, or frames don't appear after say 90 days, then money is refunded. That element of risk is up to you. I use same username for everything and you can find me on Faceache. Once the frames are ready for paint, the remaining 50% is paid by each member together with paint and shipping costs. If not all frames are bought, I'll buy them and sell them on from the UK. I had initially planned to do this with all the frames. If no one is interested at all, I may do this anyway. I've suggest 12 Small, 20 Medium, 12 Large and 6 XLarge. In these amounts as I initially chose 6 colours (keeping two frames myself) March 05, 2021, 11:03:58 AM |
