Hey Johnnny,
I would love to turn this transaction and but also hope they are not expecting much more than ebay prices....after all ebay is the bottom of the barrel as far as price goes, in fact, in the future, I will be using Ebay less and less. I will be building a web site over the next few weeks and give that a shot.....anyway.....
As you know these are legitamate $200.00 a pair lights and better than PIAA. Actual Retail of the XLO Amber is $209.00 and the bulbs are $39.80 each....so at retail this transaction would be $2,308.80....and that is before shipping.
Right now I have them up on Ebay for $85.00 a pair and $15.00 for shipping to each address. Bulbs I have are $13.00 each....At these prices, you are looking at $993.00 for 8 kits and 16 spare bulbs shipped to the 7 addresses.
If we do this non-Ebay and cash sale,(Western Union or Postal Money order) I will do em all shipped for $896.00.
($206.00 for the 2 kits shipped to one address and $115.00 each for the other 6 kits.)
The definition of 1 kit is:
2 Amber XLO Fog Lamps
1 Wire Harness
1 Relay
2 LED switch
1 Installation hardware kit
2 Spare XLO Fog replacement bulbs
Shipped
If they want to use PAY PAL, they would have to add 4% to the amount.
I hope this works for them....they have seen your lights and know how great they are right!?
And, I am not trying to be an ass or anything, but as they sell, the price will go up per supply and demand...I am not sure if I will even be able to get these again once they are all sold out.
Anyway, let me know and thanks...I am very grateful to you for doing this!
Jeff
so... no down and dirty group buy discount to speak of... this is the best i can do... so you old geezers are on your own from now forward... his name is jeff... his email is jbendit@aol.com and his ebay store is http://stores.ebay.com/ALL-CATZ-LIGHTS ...
there you go...

Just an FYI for everyone, something in his numbers don't add up.
From his web site:
light kits $85 ea
extra lamps $7.50 ea
shipping $15
1 complete kit with 2 extra lamps shipped is $115 straight up price. No listed discount for not using paypal.
And for my 2 kit price of 206 cash, add 4% for paypal and it comes out to 215.
That is also straight up price, 2 kits w/4 extra lamps, 1 set shipping.
Jeff did say in his reply not to expect anything less than his published e-bay prices.
I'm not complaining, just by looking at the numbers he has published on his site there is no group discount for us.
And yes,
Thank you Johnny for contacting him about this in the 1st place.

Scott - he says the bulbs are $13.00 each. That would make each kit $126.00 - looks like there's a little bit of a discount.
I don't use Paypal unless I have to. If you are near a Post Office, it doesn't take long to pop in and get a money order. I noticed he's tacking on a charge for Paypal, but no discount for other forms of payment - but that's OK - it's not that much of a difference. Probably still not a bad deal, all in all.

Go to his e-bay web link, he's published spare bulbs for 7.50
http://stores.ebay.com/ALL-CATZ-LIGHTS
I'm not saying that it's a bad deal, just no better a price than if you buy off his e-bay store direct. In fact, better for him if you buy direct with a money order as he doesn't lose the paypal or e-bay fees.

Hi Jonny....FYI I'm trying to get in on this deal even though I missed the deadline. I sent an email requesting 2 kits. Have you ever needed to replace a bulb?
Thanks for doing this for us!
Now if only they would come with LED's

hello markmack...
im in it for the long haul... unlike some previous motobrick riders who occasionally post here and one current motobrick rider who often posts here but is going japanese...
the catz dude told me they should last for years... mine are always on... its been a year now... still as bright as new...
i scored extras because they were inexpensive and i would have them on hand when needed... that maybe years down the road... who knows...
