IOR GROUP BUY

[AF FAL]

Sorry in advance if this steps on any toes. I have written the modrators a few times, and had NO response.

I am running an IOR Valdada group buy on 2 of the other bords, and wanted to see if FALFILES folks would be interested in bringing it here as well.

If folks are interested I would be glad to run it here on the files, the more the merrier, and the prices do include shipping the the lower 48, but no international orders unfortunately. ANY OPTIC on the www.valdada.com site is game.

Pipe up if you guys want it here.

What kind of pricing are you getting? Since I might be interested in one. BTW your not stepping on anyones toes.

[AF FAL]

OK, based on PM's it looks like there is some interest here at the files, so here are the rules of engagement for the buy.
__________________________________________________ _____

It’s finally here, a group buy for some of the best optics around IOR-VALDADA.

ALL Hunting/Tactical scopes, and Spotting Scopes that can be found on www.Valdada.com are fair game. Here are the details, there are a lot, please read carefully.

WE NEED AT LEAST 20 PIECES TO MAKE THIS WORK!

Currently the deadline is the third week of September.

Prices include shipping to the lower 48, Hawaii and Alaska are extra. Sorry no international orders with this buy.

There is no minimum order or max order. You can order as many pieces as you want, JUST BE ABLE TO PAY!

Buy is open to ANYONE, not just regular forum members, the goal is the lowest price for all here. I am posting this buy on other boards as well to maximize savings. So call Mom , Dad, Aunts and Uncles, brothers and sisters, just get the word out.

Payment through PayPal ( I know it sucks, but lots of people have it still) or GearPay. Will also accept certified funds, but prefer payment services listed. NO PERSONAL CHECKS!

HERE IS THE TRICKY PART READ CAREFULLY!

Due to advertising agreements with Valdada, I CANNOT publish prices on the thread. Message me with your request, be a boy scout and send me a link to the Valdada page to make sure there are no mistakes for extra cool points. PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY PRICES EXCHANGED! If you decide to get in on the buy, your name and number of pieces will be listed on the thread. Back out and mess up the buy for others, your name is noted as such, peer pressure and public ridicule are wonderful motivators in my experience. Sorry, but I have been left holding the bag too many times, don’t want to have it happen again.

35mm and 40mm tubes should all come with rings, if the scope you request lists rings, please include what height you want in your request. 30mm and other scopes do not come with rings, HOWEVER for those that participate I will offer IOR rings WHEN THE BUY IS DONE at cost plus shipping.


Within 7 days of the order date, or reaching the 20 piece goal, I will contact buyers with payment information. Once ALL payments are received I will pick everything up from Valdada in person, they are only about 20 minutes from my house.


Disclaimer of liability:
Be warned group buy prices may cause sticker shock! Buy sponsor is not responsible for heart attack, stroke or medical problems of similar nature that may result from witnessing super low prices on these PREMIUM OPTICS. Participate at your own risk!

PM sent--first time doing it. Just wanted to make sure you got it.

List of Committed Buyers so far-

TYPEAY (warrifles member) in for 2 scopes
TIMC (warrifles member) in for 1

[AF FAL]

ALL-

If there is enough interest I will place a pre deadline order for those with cash on hand and as impatient as I am when they want new toys.

I think a ballpark of 8-10 pieces, dependant on price, may get it. I need to be able to place orders for x amount to keep the pricing I have offered.

[bigant]

Sent you another PM about a optic.

[J-Man]

Sent a PM!

[AF FAL]

Sorry folks, I have had some happennings here the last few days and have not been able to check in on things. My internet connection has been down so it has really affected my ability to do things.

On top of that I had a domestic issue and my family was threatened because I told someone to turn down their car stereo at 4 A.M. Fortunately the apartment complex has been mostly helpful in getting police reports filed and removing folks from the property. On top of that, the vehicle the guy was in belonged to a landscape comany, and he was fired over the incident.

Bad thing is my fiance does not feel very safe by herself with the kids since I work nights, so we are moving out and getting a house. Guess everything works out for the best in the end.

All PM's and e-mails should be answered at this point. Again thanks for the patience.

[Carolina Slim]

Sent you a PM on the optics but have not heard anything. Understand you are havng some troubles and a change of residence so I patiently await your reply.

[AF FAL]

Sorry I have not been answering messages for a bit.

We have been in the middle of moving and I have not had internet access for a good bit now.

The buy is still on for those interested, I am hoping to place an initial order in the next week or two POSSIBLY.

I will get all messages answered ASAP!

Again sorry for the delays.

[AF FAL]

OK folks!

I need to know who is ready to place their orders.

PLEASE respond in this thread if you are ready. I am making an order the 20th, depending on how many are ready now.

PLEASE indicate whether you will pay by sending certified funds, or by Paypal (please keep in mind Paypal is +3%). Please also include the scope(s) you wanted. I will reply via PM with an address to send the Paypal to, unless you just want to include your Paypal addy in the thread. I will also need your shipping address, VERY IMPORTANT, you can PM it to me, or make sure it is included in your Paypal payment remarks.

I apologize but I am still waiting on my Gearpay account, if it gets up before this buy I will post info as an edit to this post.

Certified funds folks wishing to mail. I will respond via PM with an address to send the money to.

Please remember I can't fill the actual order until I have all of the funds in place.

AGAIN remember to include the scope(s) you want to order, just a measure to make sure I get the right stuff to everyone.

[AF FAL]

THE BUY IS ON! YES IT IS REALLY HAPPENING!

I have been receiving payments this week via Paypal and Money Orders in the mail. However I may push the actual purchase by one day to allow a couple of peoples money orders to make it in, they have sent tracking numbers to verify they are on the way.

So here is how it works. I need "X" amount to place the first order, which is this week. After that I can pick up stragglers as the money comes in, and I will make one or two more orders before the 1st. You guys are getting all kinds of chances to get in on this one

Please do not lolly-gag though, remember I still need a minimum amount to place the first order this week!

[AF FAL]

Just a note to everyone.....

I will be unavailable for the next 6 weeks or so as I am attending a military management course. The course is very intense on book work, so I will have little time for anything else.

I am also unsure of how much network access I will have, and if I will be able to get on the forum sites. If I can, I will respond to people, if not please be patient.

I should be available for business again near mid to end November. I will be offering prices at nearly the same level as the group buy.

[atomchaser]

AF FAL was great to deal with, offered a great price, and shipped quickly with great care in packaging. Recommended for you next IOR purchase.

[AF FAL]

I will be placing another order the week after Thanksgiving.

Lets shoot for money to be in place around the 27th-28th, I will pick up orders around my work schedule.

Still low group buy prices for this one, good holiday gift ideas!!

[AF FAL]

I am back from class, which went very well, and able to fill orders once again.

Due to my new work schedule, I will be making pick ups from Valdada Mondays and/or Tuesdays, and shippng by Tuesday evenings in most cases.
