[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Group Buy, Green Anti-Tilt Followers/chrome silicon springs. SPRINGS ARE IN!!!! (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 3/15/2003 11:09:35 AM EDT

I think I can get them for .45 per if I buy a bulk. I obviously don't need a bulk for personal use and thought I thought I would see if you guys/gals were interested.

[#1]

Technically speaking , exactly how many does it take to make a " bulk " . I might be interested in 20 or 30 .

Posted: 3/17/2003 12:16:16 PM EDT

[#2]

At that price I would be interested in 40

Posted: 3/17/2003 5:51:13 PM EDT

[#3]

A Bulk is 1000 of them.

I also got a few emails about them so about 400 are spoken for, we get 500 or more and I will order them and hope more join in.

The guy asked if I was interested in Chrome Silicon Springs, am I?

I might be interested in some, who made them? How much for the springs?

Posted: 3/18/2003 9:14:51 PM EDT

If you don't make the 1000 mark, we at Magazine Specialties have green anti-tilt followers for $.75 cents each, as well as orange ones for $1.00 each.

These are milspec with no flash or overmolding.

We also have chrome silicon springs at $4.50 each (hard pressed to find them cheaper!).

Shipping is a flat rate of $5.00, or if you order springs then it's $6.00.

Thanks!

If they are mil-spec I would take 60 for .45 each...

Posted: 3/20/2003 2:43:17 AM EDT

[#7]

The followers are supposed to be Mil-Spec, they will be arriving in the next day or two. AFTER I have them and post pics I will start taking down the orders. Please do not ask where to send money until I get them just to keep it easy.

As far as the springs go, I was told $3 per but I have to buy 500, I can use 50 or so, any other interest?

Posted: 3/20/2003 4:37:48 AM EDT

[#8]

I'd be in for 60 followers...

I'll take two Jay [spank][ROFL][nana][beer]

I'll take 30.

Posted: 3/20/2003 8:49:33 AM EDT

[#11]

I'll take 30 also, please.

Here are the BIG pics of the followers. Big for clarity of course.

I had several emails about the springs so I ordered them too. I hope those saying they want some don't flake out. After the springs come in, I will post pics of them.

IF you want followers only and no springs email me at [url][email protected][/url] and ONLY at that email. The one in my profile eats half of my emails, I only have it to keep the Spam mail down. I will reply with a "order" number MAKE SURE THAT NUMBER IS INCLUDED with your payment. All items will be shipped USPS Priority as they give out free boxes. As far as shipping fees goes, they will be whatever actual shipping is.

IF you want spring and followers please do not order them until I get them in, that way you are not waiting and if something is wrong I don't have a million problems. PMOs will ship ASAP, cashiers checks or personal checks will have to wait till they clear. Unless I know you. I hesitate to offer this BUT, I can take CCs through my day job but they charge 3.5%, I know its a rip but what's a guy to do...

Sound good?

Thanks, JC

Well... I obviously messed up somehow. Who can I email the pics to so they can post them for me?

Or, who can tell me how to make this work?

Posted: 3/22/2003 1:02:28 AM EDT

[#16]

The problem with your pictures isthat imagestastion is not allowing you to link them from here - or something like that...

If you email them to me I will post them.

Well, everyone that emailed me with an order should have received a reply WITH the order number. If I did not reply, please resend it as I missed/lost your email.

I know I said no orders for followers/spring combo until I got the springs in but I am going to buckle as I am down to just over 300 followers out of the thousand ordered. I figured I might as well open the flood gate as the springs should be here any day. If I don't, I will be out of followers and the people wanting follower/spring combos will be bent out of shape at me because at this rate I will be out of followers...

Thanks, JC

Same here email sent for my order. Hope I get them.

Posted: 3/25/2003 4:54:39 PM EDT

[#23]

So are the followers $0.45 each or are the springs $0.45 each? Or both?

I'm interested in some of each...

Thanks.

So it's .45 for the green followers, right? But how much for the springs??? Plus, who made the springs? Military contractor?

Posted: 3/27/2003 11:37:22 AM EDT

[#29]

IM sent, got undeliverable notice to your aol account.

Posted: 3/27/2003 12:13:18 PM EDT

[#30]

Did you get my order via email . I have sent it like 4 times .

My e-mail is : [email protected]
I want 25 of the followers and 3 springs
Thanks Randy

Posted: 3/27/2003 2:02:17 PM EDT

[#31]

I could use at least 10 G.F. Any left? If I click on your e-mail it sends me to some AOL site.[>:/]

Posted: 3/27/2003 5:54:09 PM EDT

[#32]

Can I still get in with 10 followers and 5 springs? Please IM me with your info if you still have some of these available. Thanks

BTW are the springs for 20 or 30 round mags?? If 30 rounders I want them.

Posted: 3/27/2003 10:21:43 PM EDT

[#33]

I will take 30 followers. Where do I send the funds?

Posted: 3/28/2003 10:03:29 AM EDT

[#34]

Hi, ALL FOLLOWERS ARE SOLD

Everyone that emailed me at my AOL account should have received their replies by now. ALL of the green followers are long gone. There is of course a chance someone that placed an order will bail out, if that happens I will repost the amount available. Payments have already made it here and I have already shipped out a few orders.

For all those that emailed me asking, I posted that the springs were going to be $3 per. I should have made it bold or something but I dunno how... The springs are for the 30rnd mags. They have not made it here yet so NO MORE SPRING orders will be taken until I get them IN. It is easier that way.

Supersport, don't know what the problem is with the email, seems to be working for the others. Try again and put something like "Hey JC" in the header. I will make sure you get 20 out of my own pile.

5654, please try the email again when the springs make it in and I will get you taken care of. I do not like the IM system, it doesn't log messages in a way that makes it easy to put with orders. Like I am doing now.

Anyhow, thanks guys for what looks like a successful green follower group buy. No, I am not interested in getting anymore. Even though all the guys that actually have/made an order number were "A OK" to deal with, several were not. I probably got 500 emails and 1/2 of them are wise guys trying to get the price cut down even further and acting like I am ripping them off with the $3.85 for priority shipping on 40 followers have actually left a bad taste in my mouth about this deal. Granted, most of you guys understand what this deal was all about: Everyone saving money and getting stuff that we wanted. Look around at what real dealers are getting out of the exact same items, that should tell you something. I should not have to defend myself about what I thought was an outstanding deal nor should I be badgered and have justify the reason over and over again on why I wanted to ship USPS. There, rant off and thanks to those that can see the big picture.

I will post when the springs make it in.

Thanks, JC

JC...Sorry to hear about what ya had to deal with while trying to offer a decent deal...Like the old saying goes no good deed goes unpunished. I guess I did not get in on the deal, but if you get any non-pays i'm still interested.

Posted: 3/29/2003 8:11:23 PM EDT

[#36]

I got mine today. THANKS!! Made me feel real good about my purchase when I saw some on sale at the gun show today for $2.00 each [shock]

For those of you who complained about shipping or tried to get them for less SHAME ON YOU! [nono] I can only hope you missed out on this awesome deal.

Thanks JC_!!!

Posted: 3/31/2003 2:37:32 PM EDT

[#37]

jfrush, glad that you like them, I also thought they were a pretty good deal.

Tonys68l36, how many where you looking for?

All that care, I will be out of town with very limited Internet access until Thursday. I have sent out several boxes of followers already but no more can be shipped till I return. Just thought I would post so no one would get nervous on me.

Thanks, JC

Posted: 4/3/2003 5:08:28 AM EDT

[#38]

I am back, looks like 20-25 payments have came in the past few days, I will start sorting them and shipping after work today and tomorrow.

I will also post a list of order numbers sent/received.

Thanks, JC

Posted: 4/3/2003 1:52:27 PM EDT

[#39]

Well, I was going to post all the numbers of the orders that I received... I have since decided that it would be easier to post the numbers of those NOT received.

Out of order numbers 1 thru 38 only 24, 26 and 28 have yet to arrive. All others have already been shipped or are in the process of being packed and will be shipped Friday and Saturday. If those last 3 orders do not come in that will free up 180 followers.

YES, that includes the orders with Springs. They came in today. I will get a pic of them posted this weekend and will start taking orders of them immediately. I had to get the min order of 500 of those and have already sold 100 of them so 400 left.

Thanks, JC

I've tried to email you about springs. What do we need to do if we want to buy some springs?

Posted: 4/9/2003 1:45:21 PM EDT

[#42]

Prego, you have to email me at [url][email protected][/url] and tell me what you want and your address so I can figure shipping. I ship USPS Priority unless you get a huge amount.

Hoplite, I got the payment and your package is shipped.

Order #28 is the only that has not been received and shipped.

Thanks, JC

Down to around 100 springs.

30 followers are available again, one guy never paid... I know several of you expressed interest if any more showed up, beats me who asked first so here it is, first come, first served.

Everyone getting theirs?? Any complaints?

Thanks, JC [url][email protected][/url]
