Did we get enough people for the group buy?

Did we get enough people for the group buy?

I'm still waiting to hear back from my source. We're technically one short, but he might let it slide. I'll make sure to PM everyone when I know what's up.

All,

Here's a copy of the PM that was sent to all members who said that they would be participating in the group buy. If anyone else wants to get in on this deal, please follow these instructions.

This message is going out to all members who said that they would be participating in the Heater Group Buy.

Hi Everyone,

It looks like we have nine people interested in the heater group buy, so let's go ahead and put this into action. The supplier for this group buy (Mid-Ohio Nautiques) has requested that all people who are participating in this group buy contact them as soon as possible to make payment and provide shipping information. I feel like people are getting a great deal on this heater. I have the same heater in my SAN, and I love it. Please call Mid-Ohio Nautiques at 419-929-9119 (ask for Danette or Kellie) to make payment and provide a shipping address. Make sure to mention the PlanetNautique Heater Group Buy. If you have any questions, please send me a PM.

The final price will be $262.00 plus shipping.

Here's what Mid-Ohio Nautiques had to say about payments:

Jeff, the best bet is to get them to call us and place the order. They will need to give a CC number for payment, shipping address and what make, model and year boat they have. It will be important for them to all do this ASAP if they want the group buying program to work. They should call 419-929-9119 and ask for Danette or Kellie and tell them that they are calling about the PlanetNautique group buy for heaters.

Hey Jeff, any idea how the heater we're in for is different than the one available at http://www.go2marine.com/frameset.js...amp;id=74537F? Looks to be same model and stuff and if so, doesn't appear we're getting much of a deal.

Thoughts?

I'm still in, but my curiosity is piqued.

Joe,

I checked out what you found, and that certainly is a good price. One thing to keep in mind is that the kits that our vendor is selling come complete with all hook-ups and fittings for YOUR SPECIFIC BOAT. When you call Mid-Ohio to order, they will take down all of the information necessary so that the heater you receive will bolt right into your boat. It does look like you have come across a good deal, but the dealer that we are dealing with has mentioned in the past that heaters not purchased for the exact boat that they will be mounted in would require additional parts in order to hook up to a Nautique. I hope this helps a little bit. That is, by the way, the best price I have seen on the heaters other than our group buy.

I found that price before this group buy, and determined that after you add all the items needed, it would still be well over $300 from that vendor. You still need the hose, fittings, and other misc. items that are not included in that "basic" kit. Also from what i understand we are getting 3 hot tubes, and not the 2 hot tubes, and 1 euro vent. That alone adds quite a bit of value to the system.

I feel the group buy is saving us about $75.

Enough to sway somebody that was going to buy the heater anyways, but not enough of a savings to make somebody get a heater if they were not in the market for one.

I figured there was something I missed so thought I'd check. Still seems like a good deal to me.

Thanks for setting this up, by the way!

Update:

I just called Mid-Ohio, and they should get the heaters in either friday or monday, and then they will ship them out to all of us.
