FOR SALE GROUP BUY: Reproduction SLS Reservoir & Label

[jhodg5ck]

Only 4 tanks?!?

I don't party quite like I used to

 

[Allgonquin]

I will take one tank and one label.

 

[nocfn]

A friend of mine runs an inline filter from the canister feed line to the pump.

 

[Ntrepid]

Looks like demand has hit a bit of a plateau at 35 units. Wanting to keep this at the top of What's New to capture 10-15 more unit orders so we can all save even more.

I did reach out to the manufacturer to request high resolution photos. They responded they would provide them next week as their marketing team is in the process of photographing other products.

Perhaps our friend who know Cousin Pierre can see if he is interested in stocking a few. I'm sure we can get @Jono to get a couple more too. As mentioned @Ntrepid, if you need to make up a few more units to get to the 50 mark, I'll cover a few extras.

I can give Pierre a call if you like. Let me know.

Looks like you're going to pretty easily hit the 50 mark, @Ntrepid. Great so that we all get the discount.

 

[Lynch]

I would like 2 tanks and 4 labels total.

Thank you for organizing this, please confirm if you got me down for 2 tanks and 4 labels.

Jeff

Any updates on the label before we close out the Group Buy this Friday?


Robert

 

[gerryvz]

Congratulations on hitting the magic 50 unit mark !! Now, as with any "group buy," the challenge is collecting the dough

 

[JC220]

Looks like demand has hit a bit of a plateau at 35 units. Wanting to keep this at the top of What's New to capture 10-15 more unit orders so we can all save even more.

Robert

Did the manufacturer provide photos of the tanks yet? Do they have MB star on them? (Presume not)

Great job on the group buy by the way!! I'll await photos before deciding If I need one. I have stickers already from a guy who makes labels for the classic centre.

 

[captruff]

Robert

It should be any day.

I will post up detailed images immediately when I get them

Jeff

 

[AMG5PT4]

I'll take one tank and two labels

 

[Ntrepid]

I did ask and followed up just before your post. Still no pictures but I did share with them that I needed them prior to placing a 50+ unit order. My hope is to add the pictures to this thread and people can back out if they don’t like what they see.


Robert

 

[500AMM]

1 tank and 2 labels for me please.

And many thanks for organizing the GB!

 

[Stegel]

I have stickers already from a guy who makes labels for the classic centre.

hmm, does this guy have a retail outlet?

 

[Ntrepid]

2 days to go before this Group Buy closes. Shake the 500EBoard member tree for any more volunteers as there will be someone who comes in later and asks if they can be a part of this. The answer most likely be "Sorry you're too late."


Robert

 

[captruff]

2 bottles for me

Jeff

 

[Ntrepid]

Here are the pictures I just received. I did respond and ask if the Mercedes star was on the reservoir. Will update this when I get a response.


Robert

 

[gerryvz]

I would guess that these are reproductions, and as such WILL NOT have the MB star on them. As long as the quality is good, it shouldn't be a problem if there is no star.

 

[ace10]

My Cossie is in the top bunk in the back row of the garage. I can't even open the hood to inspect mine.

Guess I need to move a whole bunch of crap out of the way and take a look.

 

[nocfn]

Anything beats a milk carton when the product is NLA

 

[Ntrepid]

Guess I need to move a whole bunch of crap out of the way and take a look.

Or calculate the opportunity cost of your time to move all of that crap and compare it to the investment a (possibly spare) reservoir ;-)

You can save on the domestic shipping as we're relatively close.


Robert

 

[gerryvz]

Here's my NOS bottle. Yes, it has a big 'ol MB star on the side of it.



P.S. If anyone wants to buy this NLA NOS bottle .... EUR 5,000.

 

[Ntrepid]

I did respond and ask if the Mercedes star was on the reservoir. Will update this when I get a response.

You have to love German pragmatism. I got a response:

"Nein" <EOM>


Robert

 

[Ntrepid]

Final day to get your order in. Next week will begin the confirmation of orders and collection of funds *prior* to the order being placed. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far.


Robert

 

[skikrazey]

Please add 3 more tanks & 3 more stickers to my order. Thank you!

 

[dbenz]

4 labels for me please — if it’s not to late.

Thanks

 

[Ntrepid]

So the ordering window has closed for the Group Buy.

Please look at the table in the first post to confirm (1) your on it and (2) the order quantity for units (bottles & labels) and standalone labels is correct. Note that if you ordered 2 units and 1 label you will be getting 2 reservoirs and 3 labels.

Next steps in the group buy:

1. Post pictures of the label & pricing which @captruff is making [captruff / ntrepid]
2. Reach out to the manufacturer and confirming shipping quote from Germany for the quantity requested in the Group Buy [ntrepid]
3. Update the table in the first post for shipping from Germany which I will convert to USD on the day I place the order using Oanda [ntrepid]
4. Determine US shipping cost for USPS Priority Mail (US Domestic) and USPS International First Class (International) shipments [ntrepid]
5. Update the table in the first post for shipping to members of the Group Buy [ntrepid]
6. Request from members to submit PayPal payment (using the Friends & Family option) for the total listed in the table in the first post [ntrepid]
7. Payment submitted for individual order by 23 July [Group Buy members]
8. Update the table to indicate payments received by 500EBoard members [ntrepid]
9. Place order for the Group Buy [ntrepid]

My plan is to find a way to ship the units with minimal packaging and use the reservoir to hold the label (maybe with an envelope).

Please let me know if you have any questions.
