Potential to loose out on numbers this way.. not everybody has the money to hand, and then may miss out. if left to pay as and when... more will sell especialy with somthing like this.Originally Posted by Wallace
Is it worth getting people to pay in advance???
Then at least you'll know who's serious and who's full of ****e
Yeah fair enough.................just don't wanna loose out on these bad-boys
They will all go into the shop and it's first come first served . The club is paying half now to get the production rolling and once we approve the first off we will pay the balance and get them in the shop .
Final price is yet to be set but it works like this .Total cost delivered to me ,then we add 10% and that is the Member price .I then add 25% and that is the list price as seen in the shop to Joe Public ,all + £2.50 p&p .
Members need to use the discount code as listed in the club area . At the minute this gives 20% off but I will put it back up to the original 25% .We were losing out on postage for some stuff but overall upon closer inspection it all evens out .....
i seriously want 2 set's!!
i shall buy 35.......i seriously want 2 set's!!................
i shall buy 35.......
OHHH look typical
Though as long as I get mine i don't really care[/quote]
Like you need them...
If needed I have a set of o.e dials in KMH in the UK at the moment..
Condition?
PS, how's my Devil brace?
Yeah this is exactly why Clee & I decided to order 35 sets of dials.We could get more but bear in mind the RTOC RULE OF 3
How many times have we seen people put their name down on lists for something then when it comes time to stump up the cash people develop short arms & deep pockets!
Therefore we've decided to order enough sets to cover the 35 people that initially added their name to the list in the last 6 weeks knowing that some of them will not buy them so we won't be left with loads of dial sets we can't shift?
When will they be in the shop?
I do get this and made a reference to it in my initial post but as this has the feel of a limited one off offer I can see a scenario that ppl will just snaffle then up leaving some out of luck (obviously the best outcome for the shop) What I was trying to get at is whether there is the option of another run later.Yeah this is exactly why Clee & I decided to order 35 sets of dials.

This thread has been running long enough, and it took till only the other day for 35 names to be present on the list. If people are whinging they're not gonna get a chance of buying one, they should've shown more interest from the start.
IMHO, to keep it fair, those first 35 people on the list should be given the link to the purchase page via PM. If after, say, a week they haven't purchased them, then allow everyone access to purchase what's left over on a first come, first served basis.
some of us aint got the time to be on here everyday,even week?
i can understand the points against the guys saying yes but not digging into there pockets when the time comes,that just fooks it up for everyone,but what about the genuine people that are not always online,following every single thread day for day!!
the ones that will pay straight away????
fook knows maybe its just because im not on the list eh???
i never seen the thread until the other day there,i was not aware it was running long
any way its a club so im sure some decent chap will sort something out for the genuine folk
thats my wee gurn over for the day!!!!!!
back to plaster boarding
I'm not whinging, honest. I do know about GB's and have been a victim. As some of you know I do have short arms, they kinda match the short everything else (well not everything) But I also know I always put my money where my mouth is.
Fair comments guys, I'll discuss it with Clee & give the people who have put their names; down first refusal on a set via a PM to a secret link or something in the shop??
Be ASSURED though guys I've seen so many people sign up to lists on this club (like the Nurburgring threads) and then never hear any more from them again when it comes to committing!?
I predict we're going to buy 35 sets & then sell 3/4 of them & then there'll be a few floating round the shop for a few months!!

Blue Mack,
I appreciate that, but this thread's been running since end of August. We're now in October, and for the majority of the time the thread has been hovering around the top of the thread lists.
On the flip side, why should the first 35 people potentially miss out on a purchase as well then?
As you say, I'm sure it'll be sorted fairly for the genuine people interested in the dials...
The dials are decent enough to copy, Jon has them.Condition?
PS, how's my Devil brace?
This threads funny, it clearly says 35 only.
And in the next couple of hours after that amount was posted people posted there name on the list, it almost as if done just so they could moan.... ohhh dear why bother adding name after 35 unless your the reserve incase sombody does not buy up from that list of 35.
But to then moam about it classic... words escape me
ill be honest guys i never read the thread fully,i did not realise it was only 35 been made
a few days back,when i noticed there was only 35 thats when i started bitching!!!!
any way you know what fairs fair i dont want to make this a bitch fest guys!!!!!
cheers
im not itching blue its all gravy dude, im just bored stuck at home and unable to even get to my garage let alone a race meeting so im grumpy
same same,i hate plaster boarding lol!!!im not itching blue its all gravy dude, im just bored stuck at home and unable to even get to my garage let alone a race meeting so im grumpy
and its pishing rain!!!!!!!!!!!
First come, first served...
Just like EVERY OTHER shop in the world. If they all sell out and there is demand for more, then more will probably be made, it's not the end of the world
Not aimed at anyone but there's a lot of conflicting comments (even people conflicting themselves)
JRP needs a tickle..... Anyone local who can pop round & give him one??im not itching blue its all gravy dude, im just bored stuck at home and unable to even get to my garage let alone a race meeting so im grumpy
Well i've kept an eye on the thread and i'm still game for a set...hence on the list
Feckin wise words.....
Why not offer people a chance to pay in advance so you know they are committed? Then it is win win, the club loses no money and the people who have paid in advance get there goods when they are done!
When they are listed they are listed and anyone can buy .I could list them now and people that wish to purchase can do so straight away .
Not possible to set a private invitation only page and I've not got the time or inclination to chase up potential buyers .If you want a set then buy a set
So what was the point of having a name list then? If it wasn't for those people initially committing to the idea/purchase, then I doubt Steve would've bothered having them made up.
Bit of a kick in the teeth given there's a good possibility that some of the 35 might not get chance to buy their set due to this first come, first served shpiel.
It's a RTOC tradition isn't it ?The names list .
Tell you what Mart ,when they come in you can chase everyone up on the list and get them to send the dosh direct to shop@rtoc.org
I will not list them for a week to give people chance to respond .
Rise to the challenge mart....rise......
That's cool. The fact you've already posted about doing it that way should be a good enough starting point, but I'll happily put a group PM together for those first 35 names.
If they haven't paid after, say, a week, then the left-over dials are then made available for everyone to buy via the shop.
All we need now is the final price inc' P&P...
Or do you want to wait until you've physically got your mitts on the dials?
Is the discount 20% or 25% at the moment?
It's 20%
Are you thinking of changing it to 25%, if so when? Thanks!
Right after your next order
Thanks!!
Yeah we should wait until we get the dials in our little mits before we start collecting dosh!
I agree with your group e-mail thing to the first lucky 35 then we'll throw the rest into the lions pit!
just saw this thread now as i`ve been awol a bit.
i`ll be watching the shop like a hawk
PM'd
ive been away ,i will still want a set pm me with payment details once sorted thanks matt
thanks for sorting it out steve and the club
when will this be finalised?
also, when someone has the time to fit these, could you do removal/refitting guide for the articles section.?
Everything has been finalised with the manufacturer & Ian S should be sending them them half the money so they can make the final sample ready for sign off. Once that final sample has been approved b (By Myself & The New & Improved Bill Jwhen will this be finalised?
Sorry this is taking a while to sort out guys but I want to make sure it's all right & you're all going to be pleased with them!
When I get the first "final sample" I shall be fitting it to the clocks in my car & doing a FULL step by step guide on how to change them & putting it into the guides section together with plenty of photos of the dials so you can all see how lovely they will look!
38 Ashy.
