Gauging interest - WL bar group buy

**Turninconcepts.com** · 08-29-2007, 01:26 PM

So, I've been itching to do a GB on a Whiteline bar for a while now, but I really have no idea which one to do. Thus, the poll.

white04sti · 08-29-2007, 01:42 PM

could it be for a set of front and rear if so i would like 27mm adj front bar and 24mm adj rear bar

dukenukem · 08-29-2007, 02:13 PM

24 F&R. If not .. 24 Rear.

This one will be just for one - that's the reason for the poll. Doing group buys are complicated to begin with, doing it for tons of different part numbers would make it really tough. If it goes well we'll see about doing another for the runner up bar.

I'm eventually going to do 27 adj front and 24 adj rear, so either of those two.

Gouki · 08-29-2007, 10:07 PM

24 rear!

Bikerdude · 08-30-2007, 10:46 AM

24 Rear, I already have the 27 front (purchased through TiC).

ATTENTION!

I might have to call this off. Seems a couple of vendors called the distrib complaining about our regular prices. I'm sure a group buy would just throw them into fits. I explained to the distrib that if our prices were so good we should have sold more than 3 bars this past month...

SAY!!! As long as it's a TiC bushing that would be a pretty good deal. Shoot me a PM with what you're thinking.

boost_happy · 08-30-2007, 08:21 PM

That or just a credit for any TiC made items, like shifter stuff, etc. To be used at purchase of bars.

Son of a bunch of complainers!

I would totally do the 24mm adjustable rear! Blasted! I'm down for any type of deal though..heh!

This sounds good!

(referring to the distributors: it only takes one person to ruin the ride for the rest of us...)

It's not the distributor, it's a couple other vendors complaining to the distributor about us. The distributor does not have a MAP (minimum advertised price) program. If they did we would abide by it. What they do have is a rule that is simply "don't whore these out and destroy the market since we like for everyone to be able to carry these." This I have no problem with. Personally I feel our prices are in line with others out there. Sure we provide free shipping, and try and be as helpful as we can in providing the best support we can, but we do make some money off of them (don't get me wrong I'm trying to make a living doing this). Given this I'm not sure the entire problem with the other vendors is the price we're charging...

Anyway, I'm going to have to shut this down.

Dukenukem does have a hell of an idea though, and I might just have to think about it. Anybody who wants to push his idea further, and impress upon me how much we really should do it should probably PM me.
