Ready for Spoon Bits?

[e Markle]

Just wanted to bump this thread. For those of you who have missed it, Brad is awaiting payment from us to begin the work on these bits. He's not going to begin on *any* of the bits until he receives payment from all of us (or at least 25 of us). Please send him payment as soon as possible. You can mail a check to him at:

Brad Pohlmann
5220 Upper Applegate Rd.
Jacksonville, OR 97530

If you prefer to use PayPal, his account is bradpohlmann@gmail.com. Be aware that if you do use PayPal, Brad needs to receive the full $400. So if you're using a method that reduces the amount that he will receive (it will show you how much he will actually get), then be sure to increase the amount you send until Brad will get the full $400. I think that sending the money as a "gift" means that the full amount goes to Brad with no transaction cost, but I'm not certain; please confirm that in PayPal.

I'm eager to get my hands on these!

Ernie,

Thanks for your effort on all our behalf.... I would like to reiterate- DO NOT USE PAYPAL PAYING WITH A DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO ABSORB THE EXTRA COST YOURSELF....I have priced these as close to actual cost as possible to estimate, and I do not plan on making them for less than actual cost.... I'm going to need every cent I've asked for.... so far, I've had 4 payments made with a credit card via Paypal... those who did will be billed with actual postage + the remaining $15 ( Price quoted was $415) + the difference between the $400 sent to me and the amount I ended up with after Paypal took their outrageous transaction charge... I hope I'm making sense and explaining myself clearly.... Please note that some are promising to pay me at Las Vegas, Nov. 5-6, so nothing will be happening before then.... any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.... thanks everyone, we're still waiting on 13 people to pay... I have edited the first message in this thread with who has paid, so if you have paid and you are not listed as paid, please let me know....

Thanks Again, everyone...
Brad

PS.- FYI, the Paypal charge on $400.00 is $11.90 in the States, $15.90 on payment from Germany... Leus, these charges will give you an idea of what you would be charged for sending money from Chile via Paypal....

[Leus]

Brad, any idea how much for shipping to Santiago?

[BDP]

Leus,

Probably right around $15.00...

11/16 is my choice for the 3rd one. Hope to see you in Vegas.
Thanks

Considering that there are still folks who have not paid, and that Brad won't begin on this project until at least 25 of the 27 listed do pay...I'm wondering how wise it was to tie up my money in a project that depends on the payments of individuals in a group buy.

I don't wish to be impatient or harsh, but I ordered these because I need 'em. A lot of us here make pipes for a living, and it isn't right that our working capital is held hostage by slow-pay individuals. So if you put your name down...PLEASE PAY UP!

Hello,

I forgot about this. Is Brad around? I want to make my Paypal deposit (I'll absorb the charge) but I want to make sure I'm on time.

Cheers,
Leo

[e Markle]

He's around. I'm not sure when he gets back from San Diego.

I got a mail from Brad on the 17th of november saying that he's still waiting for 4 or 5 people to pay.
For those who are dragging their feet ... please pay what you ordered.

From the list on page one, it is obvious who hasn't paid...have they been PM'ed? What's it goin' to take, fellas, a collection agency?

[BDP]

Leus, I'm home..... paypal address is bradpohlmann@gmail.com...

All, we are two payments away from commencement...

[Leus]

Brad,

Payment sent (haven't checked if it got charged. Let me know if it worked.)

Regards,
Leo

[BDP]

Leo, they took $17.50, leaving me $422.50.... might need a bit more for shipping, but you're good to go for now...

We All Thank You,
Brad

[Leus]

No, thank you.

You let me know how much is the difference.

Regards,
Leo

I'm slowly loosing my patient. How much more would it cost making 23 sets for the persons that have already payed? Would that even be an option?

[BDP]

I'm not opposed to that idea, but we need to hear from the other 22......I'm tired of the irresponsibility as well....
