Congrats to all on the list below. We got to 15 quicker than I expected. To make arrangements for your set, please contact @j.samper via email at [email protected] We were surprised how quickly the list filled up, so it may take 3 weeks before he can get all the sets shipped. He can give you an ETA when you contact him I'm sure.

Also, he has graciously agreed to extend the group buy price to 5 additional sets. So I've added another list for that below, starting with the 2 people who already contacted me about getting on the list. That leaves 3 sets to go!




Group Buy list:

1. Rob III
2. Zirconocene
3. Zirconocene (second set)
4. HedlessBill
5. HedlessBill (second set)
6. ChrisMoon
7. Whalenlg
8. TaylorEllison
9. Clifton Anderson
10. Clifton Anderson (second set)
11. volzfa102
12. Eric951Noel
13. Darwin
14. brad.951
15. brad.951 (second set)

5 additional sets at group buy price:

1. @naesjr
2. @Crazy Eddie
3. Ellis03
4. j1nx3d
5. bradthebold

This fills the list plus the extra 5 j.samper was gracious enough to add.

6. 951 S (You just missed the cut off, but I'll list you here in case anyone goes AWOL or j.samper opts to add one last set for you at this price.)






Good new! Carpokes has its first Group Buy!

@j.samper has graciously agreed to a group buy for his graphics kits. See pictures below. The normal price is $45 a set, with free standard shipping per his eBay ad, but he has agreed if we can get the group buy up to 15 people, he will reduce that to $35 a set (limit, 15 sets total). All transactions will be between the buyer and j.samper -- i.e., I'm just the messenger here. :)

If you want in on the group buy, just post in this thread and I'll keep a running list here. 15 may be a 'stretch' goal (or maybe not, I dunno), but I'm hoping it draws in a few more Carpokeans in the process, so don't be shy about spreading the word outside of Carpokes. :) Once we get to 15, you can make arrangements directly with j.samper.

Step right up! The kit include a LOT of graphics, but here are pictures from when I did my cigarette lighter, so you can be the judge...

Awesome. I'll add you to the list. I think 15 might be a stretch for us, so the ordering multiple sets only helps I'd say. 12 more to go! Might be worthwhile at some point to try to recruit others from FB or elsewhere to fill the list.

I sent a note to some 928 friends that might not have been aware of this forum, so maybe there'll be a twofer sort of upside, if they also get in on the group buy.

Count me in, but I’ll be buying these even if the group buy doesn’t meet the number.

I'm in as long as this deal closes soon. Just saw the facebook post and created an account. Hopefully we meet the magic 15 soon.

Well, we're over half way there and I just posted it on one FB group this morning. Help spread the word elsewhere and we could/should be at 15 very very soon.

Also, if at anytime before the group buy closes, you decide to bail out, please post that here so I can take your name off the list. Just want to be fair to the seller so that he knows he's got 15 real buyers when the group buy closes. :)
