Club Purchase?

[guy mayers]

I've been in contact with a US seller of Fiat 124 parts ragarding the handbrake warning lights for the Stratos. He agreed to list a few but eventually listed two dozen at a silly price to my mind. The warning lights have script on them that can be easily removed and the perspex repolished to be indistinguishable from the original.
I've attached a poll to gauge opinion as to whether or not I should spend some club funds, probably £70 including shipping, which would mean the club would charge say £4 per light to make a profit over a couple of years.
If any individual feels that they want to pay $125 for them now please feel free to do so.

Deciision day is 48 hours before the auction ends!

Not sure about this at the moment - shame there isn't a voting option for that ;)

I won't vote for or against in that case.

But if the voting shows a trend against the club buying these, I may just stump up the payment myself. I won't bid against the club though, if a $100 bid is entered.

Regards,
John

Ok, bidding was 8:1 in favour and when the seller dropped his buy it now price I committed to buy them for the club. Once I have them I'll post the price per light on this thread.
Thanks to those who took the trouble to vote.

Reserve one for me as well!
Guy, Check your mailbox, maybe you can send all at once.

Ok Luigi, I'll hold on! I bought some other 124 bits off these guys before Christmas and they turned up this morning so I have no worries about paying for this lot and not getting them!
I'll work out how much each one will be when they arrive as I counted 28 in the picture despite the description saying 24!

Ok, the price ended up at £57.65 shipped and I'll let you all know when they arrive. Hopefully in 10 days of so. If we get 24 the price will be £3.50 each plus £1 for postage/packing within the UK with an option of paying an extra £2.50 to have it polished to remove any script. All profits will go to the club, I reckon we'll need to shift 17 to break even!

Just bringing this one back to the top!
I'll be at Stoneleigh IHMS on Saturday. If anyone who wanted the handbrake warning light prefers to collect it there please drop me an email and I'll bring them along and leave them on the stand.
Cheers
Guy
