Subject: Old Man Emu Syncro Shock - FINAL PRICING!!!

>Dear Volkswagen Vanagon List
>
>Chris Christensen and I are proud to present the Vanagon List and Syncro
>List pricing for the Old Man Emu Syncro Vanagon shocks.
>
>After driving a few hundred kilometers with OME shocks I report back to the
>group that I am quite happy with them and would by them again and recommend
>them over the Boge originals that installed on our Syncros.
>
>After quite a few phone calls to the Old Man Emu distributor we have nailed
>down a cash price on 20 sets of shocks (40 front and 40 rears).
>
>The pricing that I can offer will be as follows:
>
>If purchased separately:
>Rear Shocks     $60 USD each
>Front Shocks    $104 USD each
>
>If sets of four (two front and two rears) are purchased the total price
>would be $320 USD.
>
>This pricing is based on us getting at least 20 complete sets in a single
>purchase.  If we cannot get 20 complete sets in the purchase the original
>pricing of  $66.50 and $115.50 would stand.
>
>I have committed to ordering 25 sets and they coming from Australia in
>approximately 3 weeks as I was too late to make this week's container load
>- there should be enough for everyone.
>
>The pricing does not include shipping.  Shipping works out to $22 to $28
>USD depending on where you live so I will average it at $25 USD.  These
>shipping prices are for American customers only.  People out side of the
>USA please email me at sales@fastforward.ca for a shipping price.
>
>I would like to ask all of you to confirm with me no later than February
>the 8th at midnight Pacific Time if you are interested in purchasing a set
>of shocks.  On the 9th I will state how many people are interested and
>hence what pricing everything will be.
>
>Seeing how I am only making a few percentage points to cover my costs in
>providing this group purchase these are certified cheque or international
>money order prices only.  Payments can be made by Visa but I will have to
>charge a 4% surcharge to cover what the bank takes from me.
>
>If you have any questions about the pricing or any other issues related to
>this purchase please let me know as soon as possible.

>Sincerely
