Sent you payment ilan. 
Thanks alot. 
Posted by: elantragt Jun 4 2005, 08:30 PM
These are the badges/plaques everybody seemed to like. These things give you lots of options. The ovals replace the crooked H... the plaques will look great almost anywhere and the shift patterns are a cool idea for folks with aftermarket shift knobs. Unfortunately, unless Ilan gets 35 orders minimum he can't get this done so lets get the ball rolling here, ok?

Package #7 please! *Paid*

Posted by: oiml8 Jun 4 2005, 10:17 PM
I'll take option 1. I will send money if there are enough orders.
Posted by: Morgan5 Jun 5 2005, 11:49 AM
I have been waiting for a badge gb! I will take package 3. I will also pay once we get enough orders.
Posted by: bugs27979 Jun 5 2005, 12:08 PM
Package 7. I will also pay once we get enough orders.
Posted by: southpawboston Jun 5 2005, 02:52 PM
okay, i am modifying my statement-- i haven't paypalled the money yet; i will wait like the others until there is sufficient interest. but count me in nonetheless!!!!!!!
Posted by: Devin Jun 5 2005, 03:03 PM
I'll go with package 7, and like others I'll pay when we hit the required number. Thanks for setting this up, ilan!
Posted by: sizzski Jun 5 2005, 11:45 PM
I will take package 3 and I will also wait till you reach the magic number.
Posted by: gonzo777 Jun 5 2005, 11:55 PM
put me down for #7 - thanx Ilan
Posted by: elantragt Jun 6 2005, 12:10 AM
Guys, this is just my two cents here but saying you're in but not paying isn't a real commitment IMO.
Ok, say we get 35 people saying they want them but will pay later. Then Ilan has to try to collect from those 35 and then order the stuff... that will cause mega delays. If he has the money up front the ordering process will be sped up considerably. I think we should commit and pay and then, if by some chance we don't reach the goal Ilan will refund. We had a group buy at the old forum and we reached 35 easily if I remember. These are great items.
Again, this is only my opinion but this "I'll wait and see and I'll pay you when and if" stuff will only make it a much longer wait to get your items.
Posted by: Roydjt Jun 6 2005, 12:23 AM
Mitch, the flipside of that is that if the minimum number is not reached, the PayPal fees will cause everyone to lose at least a buck. You're right, it can cause delays, but I can understand why people want to wait until the min is reached to send their ca$h.

Ilan, if you like, I'll make you a page like I do for the GB's Eq and I have done. While I have confidence in this buncha guys-n-gals, considering you need 35, Mitch's thoughts may not be without merrit. Paypal has finally made it fairly easy to refund money so asking everyone to pay to join isn't a horrible idea. Just know that if you do this, you'll have to set a deadline for everyone. Ppl don't want money tied up endlessly, I know we have a great group here that's very patient and understanding, but not setting a date isn't fair to anyone.
Lemme know if I can help at all.

Roy, With the HU GB, 2 ppl requested refunds. Paypal's refund option is valid for 60 days if I remember correctly, and is issued as a Full refund including any fees that were deducted. Also remember that a standard paypal account is Free to send and receive money. I'm not sure which account type Ilan has, but the drawback to the freebie account is you can only receive paypal funds, not creditcards or checks.
I just wanted to make clear that when you issue a refund, paypal doesn't keep anything...
Posted by: Morgan5 Jun 6 2005, 12:48 AM
I have no problem paying up front Im just a major noob when it comes to paypal, I mean I know how to pay with it and thats fine... but recieving pay pal pymts (in the event that a refund is required do to not enough interest) Im in the dark. I guess if I knew how recieving pay pal pymts worked I would pay now
Posted by: Roydjt Jun 6 2005, 12:56 AM
stauf, thanks for clearing that up. Hopefully that will make people more apt to take the plunge.
Morgan, a refund is simply credited to your PayPal account. If you check your balance, it would show up there. If you want the money deposited into your bank account, it will be done with no fees.
-Roy
Posted by: Morgan5 Jun 6 2005, 11:49 AM
I just commited myself also, money sent
Posted by: ilanpro Jun 6 2005, 11:54 AM
For the ones that paid the $$ is geting sent to my savings account. Others can vauch my honesty 
also when you paypal use your User Name so I know who is who
Posted by: Cite 3 Jun 6 2005, 12:31 PM
when's the deadline for the money?
i kinda ran into some legal fees and fines today......
Posted by: Morgan5 Jun 6 2005, 01:33 PM
I think if you say you your in then you can wait and pay when we reach that magic number
Posted by: Cite 3 Jun 6 2005, 01:37 PM
really?
then i'm in... package number 4...
if not... then i guess i'm SOL.
Posted by: Morgan5 Jun 6 2005, 01:43 PM
The way I understand it is some people arent paying until we hit 35 anyway, so I don't see why you wouldnt be able to just pay once we do
Posted by: ilanpro Jun 6 2005, 04:33 PM
You would be surpriced
Posted by: silet Jun 7 2005, 09:01 AM
Put me down for package # 7
Posted by: ilanpro Jun 8 2005, 10:00 PM
Common People lets not drag feet
Posted by: bugs27979 Jun 9 2005, 04:40 AM
I plan on paying as soon as I can...I'm just waiting for payday 
Posted by: elantragt Jun 9 2005, 11:52 AM
I honestly believe the plaques should be a huge seller. I mean they are really versatile and will look great in the interior or exterior.
Just curious why more members aren't interested in the badges/emblems. They're cheap. They're unique. And they give your car a custom look. That and they show some club pride. So why so few takers? Just wondering.
Posted by: Cite 3 Jun 9 2005, 12:51 PM
i think you should send out emails every time there's a group buy.
Posted by: bugs27979 Jun 9 2005, 04:20 PM
Good Idea!
Posted by: Migs 01 Jun 9 2005, 07:50 PM
Or post something at the top of the main forum page that way members who don't frequent the forum or the classified thread have a heads up once they log in.
Posted by: Morgan5 Jun 9 2005, 10:16 PM
This is something I would like to have, hopefully the pace picks up and we can go forward
Posted by: Devin Jun 9 2005, 11:37 PM
Paid up! Sorry it took so long, been busy at the office because we finish tomorrow!

Yeah ... and only 50 votes on the Best Modded Contest ...
I get paid in 5 days. I'll pay up then.

People seemed really gung ho over the design and the plaques. It seems like folks want to wait but if Ilan can't get 35 orders he can't get them at all which would be a shame. Our GT Club badge group buy at the archive went much better. I'm suprised and well I'm actually shocked at the lack of interest.
I'd like to here from members who aren't interested why they aren't. Is it the price? The design?
Posted by: flcerberus Jun 10 2005, 06:36 PM
I was initially very gung ho on this one and thought I was going to buy but then I thought about the fact that we just did the etched glass group buy that Roydjt set up and that I will have those to deal with once I get them. It's not that I don't like the plaques or ovals it's just that when I thought about adding them to my car after I put the decal's on would be a bit of overkill. I may yet change my mind over the next few days if I get my decals and see what they look like on the car, but I am not sure I would want to do both. Am I alone here? Not wanting to stir worms or bad blood but just an observation as to why this might be going slower than expected for Ilan whose efforts by the way are greatly appreciated.
Posted by: silet Jun 10 2005, 08:32 PM
No, you're not alone. I was thinking along the same lines and maybe having both buys so close together may be causing the low interest. That is the main reason I selected the badges (yeah I know, we don't need no stinkin badges!!!). They are small and would look great behind the front wheels at the same line as the molding. On the GTs it will be even better because it will continue the molding line!
I'm worried about ricing out the car with stickers and badges, but if we get 5 hp each, it's a good deal
Posted by: ilanpro Jun 10 2005, 09:52 PM
Well, IMO you need to think outside the box. the plaque will look great on replacing an existing badge or to complement the interior. the badge is only 1.25" x 4" Small enough to not cause alarm. As for the oval it has a home in the trunk and/or grille. you are Not adding , just upgrading and representing.
Posted by: southpawboston Jun 10 2005, 10:06 PM
i'm with ilan here...i'm the last person on earth who would rice-out his ride, and i bought a sticker and i'm also in on the badges GB. like ilan said, there's a place for both, and it's a nice inexpensive way to upgrade and represent. my money will be down for the badge the moment we hit 35 people.
and even if interest has died down, what's the big deal? if people lose interest and the deal falls through, it's not the end of the world. maybe it just means the timing is not right...
Posted by: ilanpro Jun 10 2005, 11:05 PM
Nothing Rice about this
and the original that is on my Car right now

Posted by: gonzo777 Jun 15 2005, 10:38 AM
So by my count, with 12 orders thus far:
Plaques -- 18
Ovals -- 4
Ilan-
If we can't get 35 peoople, what's the minumum number of plaques/ovals that we need to hit?
I know I said I'd pay up today, but at this rate ...
Posted by: elantragt Jun 15 2005, 12:02 PM
Maybe we could just make this a plaque only group buy. Those things are the sh#t.
Posted by: Gelicious Jun 15 2005, 12:08 PM
I will take package 2 for one plaque and i also want to order one of thouse hyundai shifter badges. so that is another order.. I sure hope we get more orders. and I like the others will send the dough to save you the hassel once we get close to the min order limit...
Posted by: Cite 3 Jun 16 2005, 10:57 AM
what happens if it never goes through, do people get their money back? i finally get paid this weekend and was hoping to pay for this and subscribe...
i just want the oval for the rear..and the second oval somewhere inside the engine bay...
this is the only thing preventing me from painting my crooked H black.
Posted by: ilanpro Jun 16 2005, 12:41 PM
Yes people would get their $$ back if is not a go
Posted by: ilanpro Jun 16 2005, 01:21 PM
I was thinking the same, If everybody on the list would get the package 7 and paid now I can have them made right away, is up to the 13 people on the list.
you all need to PM me with the apporval so there are no misunderstanding later.
Posted by: Cite 3 Jun 16 2005, 01:22 PM
<:*(
i guess that allow me to paint the crooked h black... but i was lookin forward to the oval...

Sorry, Ilan.
I'm getting out of the Army sooner than planned. I have some things that need to get paid off before I get out, and money is tighter than it ever was. I really LOVE the plaques and still want them, but I'm going to have to wait until after I get out and have a new job. Maybe I'll be fully transitioned for the next batch!
Posted by: gonzo777 Jun 20 2005, 04:02 PM
I'll letcha know a.s.a.p.
Posted by: ilanpro Jun 20 2005, 05:29 PM

Thank you, Gary!
I just replied to your PM. Thank You for your support. I can only hope more people appreciate the jobs that the soldiers, sailors, and marines do. You do not have to agree with the decisions of our President or the war, but everyone should support our troops who are over there fighting for your rights.
Thanks,
Andy
