I've got 2 phone numbers for 'em from Chris:
818-501-4214 or 818-986-2804
By the way, I was thinking about what if we fall short by a few orders,
and I'd like to propose one possible solution... If there are some
people who would like to "loan" some money to the DML, I could order
however many sets we need, and sell them on e-bay with a reserve of
maybe $110 or so, then when they are sold, I could pay you back whatever
you loaned me, plus extra for your trouble, and maybe a little bit
could go into the DML coffers. I'd do this myself, but I'm already in
the red thanks to the calendars, so I can't really afford to risk it
by myself. But maybe if the risk were spread across a bunch of people
it would be workable? For example, if 5 people loaned $20, one additional
set could be purchased. 8 people at $25 each = 2 sets, etc... I've
thought about buying a few extra sets just to make some money for myself,
but at this point in time, I can't really justify the expense as I don't
know how long it would take to sell them. Still, for a one of a kind
item like this, I would think a premium price could be fetched. Speaking
of which, what I don't understand is why NR auto wouldn't make these a
part of their regular product line? They're going to go through all the
trouble of setting up the tooling just to make one limited run? Doesn't
make sense to me. ?
Anyway, hopefully enough people will order so this won't even be an
issue, but I thought I'd throw that idea out there just in case.
TTYL!
