I have been asked to work up some pricing on headlight units for a group purchase. I will first say that I am aware our standard retail pricing is higher than that of a competitor while being lower than another (pricing is middle of the road from what I see), however I believe that those of you who have purchased from Europrice will know that your product will arrive quickly, you will receive constant communication and updates on your individual order and post sale you will receive quick replies to any needs you may have. I have searched hard to find the best possible pricing on these headlights for all of you and hope that we can work out a group purchase.
Unfortunately pricing is up a bit for standard retail and also we took a decent hit on the currency exchange rate the last several days which hurts the bottom line on discounted pricing:
Units are bolt-in and eliminate the orange side reflector present on your current headlights. Cars with adaptive lighting (curve) will need the AFS headlights while those without do not need the AFS units. Coding can be used to eliminate the side running lamp or wiring changes can be made to make the "city lamp" functional in place of the running lamp, user preference.
SHIPPING and DELIVERY:
Depending on the size of the group purchase it is likely that each pair of headlights will ship directly from Europe to each buyer individually. This saves time and minimizes chance for any shipping damages as units only need to ship one leg versus two. If we reach a larger number units can be shipped to this location directly in one large shipment which can save all members on shipping costs, though adds complexity and is really only useful when we hit 10+ pairs. Delivery time would be approximately 2 weeks after the group purchase closes for each buyer if we ship individually. All items packaged professionally and shipped fully insured for their value.

your retail prices/group buy prices on this are worse than OEMPLUS's retail
...and since you brought competitors into the spotlight, I usually won't make commentary on them or show others commentary on them, delivering product promptly with good service also has it's perks too:
I was not saying anything about delivery delays... just pricing.
look at it from my perspective as a buyer... if I gave you money now... and 9 other buyers didnt get in on it, i'd be paying more... quite frankly the odds of getting 9 more people to buy adaptive e codes isnt that good.
best of luck with the group buy, I hope you get a good turnout, and if it looks like more people are buying in, I might hop on the bandwagon as well.
but i'm going to hold off til I see how many more people are interested.

Oh no money is taken or charged for a group purchase until we have the set number of buyers accumulated. I'm not sure if other companies charge up front on a group purchase, however it doesn't seem possible as they need to know the total number of buyers to set the price.
If I add the number of inquiries on these so far there would already be 4-5 buyers if we hit the 10x mark. So it's actually not out of the possibility to hit 10 buyers over the next few weeks. I merely place interested parties into a list and contact them periodically to let them know what numbers we have hit. If we do not hit 10 and we hit 5 I will ask the group if they want to proceed at the 5x-9x pricing and leave it to the group, sometimes groups keep the buy open for over a month to get the proper number of buyers to hit the lowest price point. Totally fine with me and I leave it to the buyers as to when to close to purchase and move forwards, if at all.
I can place you in as an interested party and if we hit 10x buyers or more I will let you and others know. If we do not and hit the 5x-9x mark I will still notify you and the others to see if you are interested at that pricing level.

OK guys we have 10x interested parties! Well done!
Now the next step is to collect information from all of you via email. This is essentially a commitment to purchase, though you can back out once sent, however that does hurt the group if we are on the fringe of 10x pricing.
If all of you who are interested can please send the following information to: contact@europrice.us
Name:
Shipping Address:
Preferred Method of Payment (Paypal, Credit Card, Other):
AFS or Non-AFS:
Any Additional Parts:
Questions or Comments:
This way I can put together a more solid list of interested buyers. I can also work on shipping quotes to each of you. Direct shipping is likely going to work the best, though I will quote out the lot to this location and shipping via UPS or US Postal (For Canadian Orders) to each of you from here to see what saves you guys the most money.
Once we hit the mark and shipping method is set I will inform each of your you final total. When everyone who has participating has paid their balance the order is fully processed. Then we move into getting the units out to you.
Thank you again and if we hit 15x I can likely get you more of a discount, though let's get a solid 10x confirmed and see what we can't do!
Thank you again folks,

Up to 8 confirmed buyers at this point, however some hinging on if we hit 15 or not. If you are genuinely interested I would like to have your information by today, however if that is not possible I will keep the window open through next week to gather more interested parties.
If you would like to show your interest please send the information as stated previously to: contact@europrice.us
That way I can get an accurate head count and we can get this buy going for everyone as soon as possible!
Thanks again for your time,

Your name is listed versus your email address when received into Outlook, however after clicking on your name it does display the email address and I do have your confirmation.
We are now at 9x confirmed, looking to see if we can't get some more.

Now at 9 confirmed buyers, just need one more to crack 10x pricing!

We are at the 10x pricing mark! I know that some of you are interested in the 15x mark if we can hit it, however it has slowed down in terms of participants jumping on board.
So last call to those of you who are interested. If there are 4-5 more of you we could see lower pricing, this would help all buyers with even lower price.
Anyone who has yet to confirm who would be interested at even lower pricing?
Thanks folks!

Alex, do you have me down as the 10th person? I haven't heard from you since your last email last week.

Moving forwards at the 10x pricing...
It appears as if the group would prefer to move forwards currently with the group purchase at 10x pricing. I am currently working on shipping prices for the entire group and individual buyers. The next step will be that each of you will receive a quote including shipping costs for your individual order. I will also give out exact details as to payment deadlines for participation and delivery time frame guidelines for your individual order.
Any updates or changes with the group purchase I will notify the entire group. Please look for a finalized quote including shipping in the next day or so.
Last chance to join in if interested!
Cheers,

For those in this group purchase. You have received your pricing rundown which includes shipping costs directly from Europe to your location. This will allow for faster delivery and less time in the hands of shipping companies which means less potential for any damage (all items are fully insured).
I would like to see the group purchase move forwards on Monday (8/31/09) if possible. This means we can get this moving quickly for all of the participants.

TradeStone said that Mobile enables a retail buyer to log into the TradeStone Web site via their PDA browser, then enter the item number or use the scanner to scan the barcode label on samples, with product details, including images, displayed on the screen. A key feature includes the buyer's ability to enter product selection and quantity, comment on the selected product and also request samples. The buyer can also track and provide offers, which are captured within the TradeStone system, giving everyone visibility into the supplier negotiation process.
