add your name to list dude and we can take it from there.

If we get more than 10 we can push for a higher discount.

don't worry. I probably can get more. But not with this order.
i think you should hang fire on your order just now as we have made the 10 names no problem and we could try push for a better discount as more show their interest.

just got an email from my friend and if I understood him right he has 10 sets received already!
Price will follow ASAP, just need to work the best way out for shipping.

If you want replacement bushes, please let me know and I will try to get them shipped in the same package.

Sorry for not coming back with a price, but with the time offset between US and UK it's sometime a bit difficult.
I guess we can expect at least 10%

There are only 10 set available now, so please be prepared to send payment early next week.
Paypal will be fastest, but please keep in mind the additional fees.

Im sorry, but thats not very clear cut "expect around 10%"

The purpose of the group buy is to get the best deal possible !

I have contacted treehouse racing to see if we can do better.

Hey Guys, Looks like it's perfect timing for me to chime in.

Thanks for the interest and your kind words. To answer a few earlier questions:
1. The Bracket is made from CNC machined steel. They are powdercoated your favorite green (hahaha)
2. The Bushing insert IS replaceable although, I have not had a set wear out yet.
There are about 1000 sets here in the USA on the road and another 200 or so across the world. They have been running strong for over 5 years now. People are very happy with them on the street and have not complained of excessive harshness or noise. I have not had a single set returned! This makes me confident you will agree that they are the best solution on the market.

Discount- hahahaha You guys crack me up... Did you know the US dollar is worth the same as a turd!? hahaha.. Seriously, I will be happy to give a discount for a group buy quantity, but the amount of the discount will vary according to quantity and how we set up the logistics of packing and shipping.

If I send them to the UK I am obligated to mark them as merchandise, I'm a business and they watch. BUT, If your boy here sends them, then they can be a "gift". Do you follow what I am saying? I ship sets all over Europe quite often and a single box with 1 set costs about $45USD (with insurance and tracking). Sending a box of 10 or 20 sets to someone here in the USA costs about $15USD.

To get the lowest possible price, I would setup the buy like this: Forum members pay a member in the USA, then the USA member places the large order with me at Treehouse. I will ship the quantity to the member here, and they will arrange shipping with you folks. I would imagine shipping would be better to send 1 package to the UK and distribute from there.
Another option is to simply buy from my website with a private coupon code that enables your discount, and I will ship each set directly to you. Obviously, this has more expensive shipping implications, but then again wether you're using British pounds or Euro, I think we can all agree that you're way ahead.

Please refrain from PM'ing me as I will surely NOT respond in a timely fashion. I would like to see your ideas here and if you would like to discuss privately, please email me at: shop at treehouseracing dot com

As I said before 10% of the list price. I couldn't give a final figure because of the shipping an other issues I don't wanted to discuss public over the internet. (does the word VAT mean anything to you???)

@ m-dtech
thanks for stirring up. But learned my lesson. Next time I will just get my own bits and let everybody else pay the VAt and duties and shipping. That's what you get if you are impatient.
I am not trying to rip everybody off and earn myself a fortune. (which isn't going to happen with 18.90$ each anyway if that would go in my own pocket)
I have seen the treehouse bushes, wanted some for me and a friend and read that some people over here would like some as well. So I have offered to save a few buck and use the contacts I have (and that includes very good shipping rates and the so on....) to get some more.
But if this the sort of comments I get, then sod it for next time..........

AND
I haven't asked for any money upfront and let people wait for weeks before they receive parts. As soon I have then here I will contact everybody with a price and they can decide if they want them or not

maybe you should have contacted ME instead of treehouse and asked. You can read the result in above post from Mr Treehouse.
If I would have been after maximum profit, my posting would have started with a price in the first place.
Anyway, I do not want to dwell over this and just get on with things.
