No, do you think i should. I could possibly get more people. I'll look into posting there. thanks. and the price will be $500 if we get 15 people plus the $40 dollar shipping which equals $540. The store price is $600 plus $40 shipping which equals $640. In my book thats a deal.

Just because you bring them revenue doesn't mean they make more money. If they sell them at cost, it doesn't matter if you bring him $100mil revenue, he's not making money. This is exactly why there is no aftermarket for Contour, people are so cheap they always think whoever makes stuff are out to make big bucks.

The said they would drop to $500 if we had 15 people ($7500). What I was saying is why wouldn't they give us that price for 10 people ($5000 vs. $5400). They probably get it or make it for < $400 a pop if they will sell it for $500.

who cares...they set up the price...if we like the terms they give for a group buy then we buy, if we dont like it then we dont simple as that
group buys probably sound like they're doing the company a favor but its only doing us a favor by trying to get something cheaper than its regular price...just because we may like to buy in bulk doesn't mean the company hosting the buy is getting any benefit whatsoever
businesses are in business to make money...most group buys, if they discount enough, could be close to a losing deal for many
meanwhile, cmon 20 buyers!!!!!!

Any sound clips besides three dyno runs? Real world audio clips? The dyno clips sound incredibly loud.

The only sound clips i've seen are the ones at the bottom of the site. but When i talk to him today, I'll ask him for some. I believe Airknight has the system but i think he has a 3.0. Ask him what he thinks.
