Sorry Mark - I had a couple spares in GPMINI on the trip, and gave them to people that asked about the LightInSight I had fitted ... didn't know you wanted one

Is the prices right? Same price, different shipping depending on how many are ordered?

Everyone - this product is worth EVERY PENNY - I've had one ever since I picked up my MINI, and I can't recommend it enough, especially for the MINI, since we sit a long way from our windshields, and the angle is very steep... but it counts double for taller folks - no more straining to see the traffic lights when you're at the front of the line!

Yes, the prices there are correct.

Every person in the group buy will have to pay $12.50 plus their share of the shipping. The group buy is just a way to cut down on the shipping cost, so if 10 people sign up, everyone will save a few bucks.

Although this Group Buy thing is nice and we are saving on the shipping there must be no money made of this item. Since we are paying full price for the item and zip for shipping.

I just did this because I wanted to get 2 of them. This is not a make $$ thing. I heard some others that wanted to get this and figured I would do a group buy to save on the shipping. If you all are going to whine about this, forget it. I will just get my 2 and be done with it.

No don't get me wrong Jay. I just noticed that we are only saving on the shipping. But adding trouble to you to deliver these like you and Stacey have done the flags. I don't know why I commented haha

All I wanted to do is get these things. Yes, getting these to people will be a PITA, but since we are going on most of the DCMM events, I figured we could get them out much quicker. Now, if this is a problem for some of you and that saving those few pennies will not bother you, than don't do it. MDS, since you and I are the only ones, all we need is 1 more and we can get the S&H discount. I believe Ssallykat wants one.

While I was on MTTS, Margaret (my wife) drove GBMINI#3 - she RIPPED OUT the LightInSight and chucked it! She's short and complained the sun was concentrated through the L'n'S too much :(

Actually, the S&H price goes UP at 4, but it works out to be about the same price per unit ($13.48 or $13.49) as buying 3. After 4, it gets cheaper still!

But even if you only buy two, you still save $1.47/$1.48 on shipping (each). You don't have to buy a predetermined number to get a discount. Anything more than one is cheaper.

That sucks... tell her next time to just stick the static-cling LIS in the door pocket, instead... or just raise the seat higher!

I'm new to the club but put me down for one if you don't mind. I've been wanting one for a few years now but just kept putting it off.

Here is a dumb question. What happesns if we get more than 10?

Edge, everything is good. It was actually Jeremy's fault. We got enough for the group buy.
