Gauging Interest for titanium VME heads

[intake_monk]

Hi All,

We were discussing on an old WTB thread, but we are trying to gauge interest for a titanium Malkoff VME head group buy here. The numbers Gene is looking for is 129.99 each for 57 heads and 119.99 for 115 heads. The lead time would be around 8-12 weeks. Now that the excitement of having a concrete goal has settled I'm hoping to see if we can get any interest and or/sufficient sign off for this. For starters I could do at least one, if not two if the month is looking good. I'll also port over the names from that thread to this one and edit the top post as we get interest.

Who came up with those figures, with only a few dollar difference, between twice the quantities?

... and who is "we" or "monk" that has been a CPF member for just little over 30 days?

I'm just some nobody who wanted to buy a titanium VME head. I'd post up screenshots of the email thread here but I'm aware that's not legal in some states including my own (Cali). As far as who came up with the figures, it sounded like it was Gene's machine shop as he said he had to check with them and it took 9 days to get an update. I have no idea why 57 was chosen for the introduction count and why the price only goes down by $10 when you jump to 115. For what it's worth, if I was scamming ya'll I definitely would have picked more attainable numbers. If it makes it more appealing for an established member to head this group buy, that's totally cool I'd prefer to not be the head of this anyway.

As for who we is, previous thread is here, I should have linked that at the start sorry!

@intake_monk,, I don't see an issue posting emails, or linking correspondence between you and Malkoff.
In fact Gene is a member here @Gene43, maybe he can chime-in if it looks like your getting close to enough signups

Good luck on the drop, and welcome to CPF!
