And on the 108th day God said: "Let there be camcovers" !!!

Received a long awaited email from the Germans this afternoon: the first 'sample'-batch is ready to be sent off. One is for me , and 4 plus 4 fittingkits will be sent to Taffr after he pays them.

Moneywise I think we have a good deal, just the conversion-rate for the GBP to Euro is lower than in February; hope Taffr has enough moneys to pay them all.
For these first 4 camcovers plus 4 fitting kits plus P&P they want 693,50 euro which is 173,40 ea. which equals approx. £137.50 . From way back in this post I think everyone paid £132.50 in advance for a cover plus fittingkit.
I let Taffr figure out how he deals with the difference. (difference caused by the conversionratio and by the fact that we calculated with a fittingkit price of £22.50 which actually was £26.00 .
As the ebay one sold for £440 recently I think if Taffr hasn't enough £ 's to convert to euro's everyone just should pay him another fiver or so.

We're getting there ....

Sounds great mate, can't wait to get me hands on mine now. Just let me know if the first payment didn't cover the charges.

CheeRS, and Thanks for the effort guys.

how large is the first "batch" ? Just the 4 mentioned?
When is the next "batch" likely to be ready?

[Martin]

Great news. Hope it isn't going to take all year for the next 45 to be finished

Well done Leon for all your hard work.......

BTW. Get yourself and some of your dutch mate's over to the tour next year, you'll love it. Just like the first few years at Barlo

the f@@ker is flogging 'em off one by one on the Bay, t@sser

[Martin]

Is he still going to supply us or is he just gonna sell them all on eBay

[rwdrs]

Is he still going to supply us or is he just gonna sell them all on eBay

from what I can see of it bit of both, maybe the tactic is hoping that we will go away, but like most Escort bits on the bay, he'll find that after having sold 10-15 of them, the interest will die off rapidly and he won' make anything like what he's making at the moment.

If he flogged one a month he could keep up the interest, but if people see that they keep coming they'll wait, knowing there'll be another one along in a minute

[Martin]

Can we push him or do you think it is better to just give him a little nudge every couple of days

[topaz]

i'm happy to pull out

[rwdrs]

to be fair to Leon, I think he's been giving him a regular nudge it's just the bloody $$ signs lighting up in the bloke's eyes.

There's a nice cover available for a MkI on the Bay at the mo, with the MkI badge RS badge engraved into the ally

[Martin]

Let's sit tight for a week or so and see if he supplies the goods. Then if no progress do we tell him we know what he is doing.

Alternatively, we could keep ramping up the bids on his RS Covers on eBay and when we win the bids refuse to pay. Not very nice, but he is not playing fair with us either. That way he won't be selling the covers to anyone
