Hey guys,

Hope you don't mind me sharing out here, I've heard of ya'll via Tommie out here in Austin and wanted to extend the offer if you haven't seen it yet.

I am doing a buy-in for BUGPACK and have set up a website you can use to either check prices or even submit an order if you'd like. I currently have enough commitments from among the Austin Air Coolers and my own stocking order to meet my minimum to submit the order any day now, but I'd love to get a little more volume, put my name out there, and offer up the buy-in pricing to you DLK guys too.

I already did one buy-in with SCAT (which honestly didn't go so well - they hosed me on shipping, and I don't plan on keeping that line open, but I was able to get some guys some good stuff at great prices), and learned a little bit from it, so I think I've got a good system in place for this BUGPACK buy-in. Here is what I've done: I've set up a webpage at http://www.y-n-s.com. On the webpage you'll find a link to the BUGPACK catalog (left column towards the bottom, directly above search). You can peruse the catalog to find the stuff you are interested in and search it out via the search box on the webpage. Alternately you can use generic search terms on the webpage and find the stuff. Now, I don't have pictures of all the BUGPACK stuff yet, but that is because they are sending me a CD with all the pictures in my first order. The prices that you see on the webpage are 'amazon' prices - I do have to charge tax for Texas sales, but honestly, I've always felt it backwards that buying locally is more expensive than buying from out of state, so the prices include sales tax - meaning, the price on the webpage is the price you pay. Period. I will always do my pricing this way. I still have to report sales and pay taxes to Texas (and credit card fees to Google or PayPal) but they will be transparent to you guys - you'll never see a line on my checkout for tax. There is also a coupon you can enter at checkout for 10% off on this buy-in the coupon is 'bugpack' - it is valid on purchases over $100.

Payment: I have the shopping cart set up with both PayPal and Google. So hopefully you can feel confident with full buyer's protection in place. Having said that, I am happy to accept cash payments or payment via PayPal gift transfer. You would be saivng me 3% when you do that, but it is not necessary.

Delivery: I live in Austin, and my Brother lives in Houston. I visit him often, so I can meet anywhere in either area. I will also plan on attending Dubsplash if I am able to submit the order early enough to receive the items prior to July 7th. That would mean I can deliver in person to Dubsplash on the 8th. I am also willing to ship via USPS or UPS (whichever is most cost effective) but I would have to invoice that separate. I haven't set up shipping on the webpage yet because I think one of two bad things would happen:
1. I'd overcharge and piss you off (like SCAT pissed me off)
2. I'd undercharge and my wife would kill me (like happened with SCAT)
I hope to offer more shipping options in the future, but I am not trying to make this a day job, I am just trying to get good cheap access to parts for fellow enthusiasts - shipping is something I want to handle as an exception if possible. I do want to plan on attending any VW shows where I have parts to distribute, and will definitely be at all the Austin shows(or send the parts there with a friend).

Prices: You can look them up on the webpage (organized by PN and description) or via the spreadsheet that you can get to when you open the catalog on the webpage. As I mentioned before prices are 'Amazon' style - Texans won't pay more than out-of-staters. I will try to always have a coupon up - the current coupon is 'bugpack' make sure to check that against your prices on the webpage. I checked a lot of the items and it looks like my prices beat pretty much any BUGPACK vendor I've found so far - feel free to share with friends, but realize that shipping is not included.

Shipping: I've bought a lot of hobby stuff (Jeep, VW, RC, etc) and Shipping always has to get paid somehow. I am personally not a fan of 'Free Shipping' but I also don't want to make any money shipping stuff. Having said that, I don't want to lose money on shipping either!IF I gotta ship something I promise to charge actual costs, not more or less. I'd rather meet in person and hand parts off.

Order Frequency: I do have a minimum order to get free freight. I've already met that minimum, on future orders I can have items drop shipped if you are time-sensitive, or we can wait until we've filled a minimum order for free freight. If we are close I'll order some items for stock and sell via ebay/samba or the classifieds.

Umm... I think that is it - so I'll wrap with the important stuff again.

my email: pyonnone@y-n-s.com

intended order date: NLT 29 June 2012.

Thanks and please feel free to contact me with any questions!

I am looking for the new Billet plus shifter, it's not in the catalog. Please PM me with price.

Which one? Bus or Bug?

I think they are 5606 (Bus) and 5605(T1)

5605: $133.88

5606: $201.38

I am planning to run the 5605 myself - I'll probably bring around to the shows(for sale) until my Manx is done and it has a home.

That 5605 is fancy... I'm also a big fan of the right shift shifter .. that one really seems to shift well.

ALSO... PAT (nooner) is a local Friend of mine if anyone has any questions I may can assist..

NOTE: the Paypal option GIFT.. can bite you in the rear.. plus this doesn't issue a shipping address.
I prefer PAYMENT OWED... right beside gift.. this doesn't charge a fee either.. and is more acceptable to paypal for transactions than gift..

PAYMENT OWED- doesn't issue a shipping address either.. but is the way to do it with out fee's.

remember to always follow up with an email stating money sent.. and address prefered shipped to.

USPS flat rate boxes are awesome for great price shipping..

I didn't know payment owed didn't charge fees either? Cool! Either way, - you can pay any way you are comfortable with, I tried to set up good safe payment methods.

I also wanted to clarify, the prices on the spreadsheet at bit.ly/bugpack and on the webpage are the same - BUT you can apply the coupon on the webpage, but not the spreadsheet. Meaning, the prices on the webpage after entering the coupon reflect the best prices.

Bring it to Dub Splash, I am pretty sure I want it but would like to see it up close first.

DubSplash is 200+ Miles away for me, and my Buggy isn't done yet.

So... I definitely wanna come meet you guys, BUT I will only attend DubSplash if:
1. I have SOLD parts to deliver, and
2. The order comes in in time



I hope to see you there!

okay - so I've got enough orders in to be able to order tomorrow, or Monday at the latest - hopefully that'll get parts in in time for DubSplash BUT...

No one has ordered saying they want anything delivered to DubSplash!

It is an $80 6 hour in the truck trip for me to come to DubSplash, I am looking for folks who wanna carpool up there, but short of orders coming in here or finding someone to share the ride I won't be coming up. If I do come up, I will bring parts to show off/sell, but as much as I want to meet you guys it is a long drive and a long day to commit to solo without any sales in hand.

I am happy to put in another order after this one goes, but for free/delivery shipping to happen I have to meet a minimum. I don't know when I'll reach the minimum again. I do have the option of having BUGPACK drop ship, and I am happy to do that, but you will pay my price + $7 per order +BUGPACK's shipping cost for that item.

So this is a final call - if you are on the fence go ahead and check out the prices or give me a holler, I am happy to talk, but if you don't get the order in to me soon you make be looking at the Harvest for pickup.

I appreciate your efforts but I just don't have anything that I need right now. Just finished a build and taking a financial rest .

maybe next time..

Thanks for asking .
