I just sent Kevin an email to see if maybe we should cap our order off in case he can't fill the entire group buy.

I just hope Kevin has enough to fulfill the order and nothing has been mentioned about pricing when we hit 150 pieces so don't get your hopes up. Kevin needs to make some money for his troubles too and we should all be thankful since we are saving ~71% off the PinZero glare guard for $14.95 from PBL. I'll keep you guys posted when he gets back to me and I also encouraged him to sign up and introduce himself too.

I could care less, that guy had been overcharging and raking in a mint for what is essentially a bent piece of plastic.

There was no way it ever cost $14 a shot for those things in bulk.

Gravy train is over finally.

In completely unrelated news in the vein of similar products with wildly different pricing strategies, looks like the U.S. guy on Pinside who sells side mirrors is having a Black Friday sale thus making his product even cheaper.

Re: [Group Buy]: DMD Glare Guard "Knock Off"

I wonder if there's a market for highly reflective metalized plastic as a cheap alternative to "mirror blades"?

Re: [Group Buy]: DMD Glare Guard "Knock Off"

So far a few people on pinside have received their glare guards from Kevin and very happy with them including Clay who ordered 100pcs for his Ann Arbor pinball museum.

157872-i.jpg


157873-i.jpg


157874-i.jpg


157875-i.jpg


Shipping quote from Kevin by UPS for a box with 100pcs is $18 to Port Huron, MI and $41 to luch's door in Newmarket. The reason it is for 100pcs is because Kevin said any more then this it would make the package more difficult to handle due to the weight and higher chance it might get dropped or mishandled. Also I told Kevin there is no way I would want this package shipped into Canada via UPS because of their ridiculous brokerage and handling fees. I asked if he could get a quote from USPS otherwise I have a few people who have volunteered to go pick it up on the Buffalo or US side, pay the 13% taxes and then distributing via weekly TOPL network.

Anyways, I just updated the list and we are at 161 pieces in total. This group buy will be closing off tomorrow so if you guys can PM me to confirm you are still in and your amounts between today and tomorrow it will help make things go quicker. I will update your name on the list in post #1 as confirmed when you do.

Thanks
-Mike

Thanks for all those that have confirmed and just FYI it is not too late to get on the list. I am just jumping ahead and confirming now so things can happen sooner once the group buy window closes.
