Group Buy Feeler: Mini-Stuff.com cupholders

Please post a reply if you are interested in 1 or 2 of these cupholders. I'll contact the vendor and let them know quantity and try to work out a direct buy deal with them. http://www.mini-stuff.com/Merchant2/...egory_Code=NEW







They are pretty expensive imho but hopefully with a group buy we could get the price down to 40-50 dollars each. I'll assume continental shipping USA but please post your location if you are outside this area.

I think the idea is to get them out from under the toggle switches.

I'd be interested in one. I've always liked these but for the price didn't get it.

black with silver screws

Dunno about size, whether bigger than stock or holding a 32oz. Sorry guys.... I'm just trying to manage approaching the vendor with a quantity request and a discount.

Please send them an email directly from their website, I had emailed them today and they even emailed me back quickly, I'm sure they'll be more than happy to answer all your questions.

Why do I want these?
1) easily removable.
2) slightly adjustable (fore and aft)
3) i could relo one if i wanted to the rear cupholder
4) brushed alum ;o)
5) retains the original cupholder for change and paper clips and stuff

Why wouldn't I buy one of these?
1) asking price
2) smallish (won't hold a 44oz)

I'm hoping that the vendor will be able to take your orders directly, and simply apply a NAM discount, and ship once a certain number of orders or submitted.

Any idea on prices yet?
Also, how many do you need to pre-sell to make a group buy?

I've emailed the owner the initial interest list and they are discussing pricing.

I'm with you on they are expensive at msrp and a good deal will be necessary.

IMHO we have a good quantity to approach them with.

I'm looking to close the interest list wed 12 midnight, in order to give them an actual count of INTEREST.

This doesn't mean we can't have more people join in.

Once we have a price established I'll post the actual Group Buy.

Most likely we will have a required minimum order (pre sell) due before they start shipping (only fair imho).

Stay tuned and patient (i have no financial interest AT ALL in this transaction)

Thank you!

I would be interested in a darker one too, but MSRP is WAY over budget.
