i know that paypal is evil and all, but considering that it is instant and that it will take care of the problem of exchange rates perhaps it is the best method for this particular buy.
also, instead of a person having to drive an hour or more out of their way everyone would only need to drop off cash at a nearer person’s place with a paypal account who could then send the cash to me.
this might also be better than setting up a fresh paypal account without a verified bank account.
just a thought, but whatever gets things done most effectively is obviously the best choice.
please read what i have posted about shipping and exchange rates, i have made a couple big posts about it with stuff highlighted in different colours.
if you are paying cash then add 1.25% for us exchange… if there are any significant increase in the exchange rate in the next few days it will adjsut accordingly.
if you would like to chat with me on MSN if you are unclear about your total then please let me know.
to make things easy, if you send paypal payment please add 4% of total, and then in the messafe box tell me what you are paying for and the price for each.
that way i can see your math.
IE.
Cahill
manifold - $120
turbo extension - $55
= $175 + 4% = $175 + $7 = $182 USD
my paypal address is bing240sx at hotmail . com
SHIPPING - i did some calculations
this is what shipping quotes were in USD for each item to my postal code IN CANADA. but of course i am having it shipped to the Us and picking it up so…
THESE DO NOT APPLY TO YOU…
in fact the shipping wil likely be less than that in canadian dollars. this information is just to give you an idea of what the saving will be.
as it stands if everyone were to order what we have the total shipping would be under $250 USD for everything where as it would be more than twice that if we were to have each piece shipped to the end user.
i thought you guys might like an idea of what type of savings on shipping could be expected. it looks like more than half.

these shipping quotes are for individual items shipped to an ontario address. these are not indicative of your costs, they are meant as a basis of comparison agianst actual costs which will be less than half of those above
6 items have been paid for now, and others are preparing for order.
if you are planning to pay cash please have the person who is delivering the cash contact me.
i cannot come out to the GTA to collect, i have classes, moving into a new place this week and i am not making $$$ of this group buy and so i have no reason to drive 3 hours to collect monies, that costs me alot of time and gas. plus i am already going to buffalo to bring the stuff back.
whats more is that i only have my 240sx right now and i am not really driving it at all, just to school and back.
alot of people are asking about shipping and payment for it.
the exact charges will not be deteremined until we have ordered because it is dependent on order quantities and number of participants.
please have $50 aside to cover it as you will also be responsible for 7% customs fees. that is of course just an esitmate.
for those interested in getting in on this please note that after a pending bank transfer has cleared and one cash delivery this group buy will be over and the items officialy ordered.
everything is slated to be ordered on sunday night.
mid-week payment is TOO LATE…
at this point if you do not use paypal the only other option is meeting up with farmer who is delivering cash this weekend for a few parties.
also note that all this pricing is one time only, the discount on items, shipping and brokerage cannot be realized again.
we are comfortablly over the $1000 USD mark everyone, the shipping is beign split 9 ways right now and after farmer drops by it will be at least a 12 way split.
