So I'm confident that the covers that are being used as our models are the REs (they are 1/8" thick thermoformed acrylic according to the plastics manufacturer...) I PMd a moderator re: the proper protocol for a group buy but haven't heard back. Can any of you shed light on this?

Thanks,

Now I'm curious if the RE-Amemiya bucket is the same shape as the Rotary Extreme (RE) bucket. I'll have to go home and double check what I have.

Sleek Light Photos

Hi Gents,

Here are some photos of my lenses and buckets - let me know yes/no if these look like authentic RE pieces. I definitely don't want to step in it by replicating lenses that no one wants. My IPF lights are in very poor condition (rusted etc) so you wouldn't want them :-)

Add me to the list (1 pair), but I think you'll be forced into doing a GB official thread first.

Great - give me a quick primer on how to do an official group buy thread. I'm not trying to do anything covert, I just don't have time to parse through all of the rules/regs of the forum...

Hi Gang,

Please don't send any funds yet as I need a few tips on setting this up as an official GB - from what I've gathered I may need to raise the price a little to cover this "cost".
Thanks,

Aaron

Ok - I PMd a moderator and haven't heard back. I perused the group buy section of the forum, and there is a $75 charge for "vendors". Am I considered a vendor now that I'm attempting to facilitate this group buy? If so, I"m going to register and then re-price the covers to meet that cost. I'll then start accepting paypal deposits. Someone chime in here and point me in the right direction

Thanks,

Aaron

Hello Everyone,

I'm going to register as a 'vendor' for 1 month ($75 charge) so this group buy is legit on the forum. I'm going to pass this cost along making the final prices (including shipping in cont US) to be $157.50 per pair of covers and $167.50 for a pair with adhesive vinyl templates for painting. Paypal me at Dabossajk@gmail.com. As soon as I have 8 payers, I'll place the order with Ridout. I spoke to the production manager yesterday, and he assured me of their quality and ability to duplicate the shape and contour of my original RE covers.

Thanks,

Aaron
