APT Fog Light (VRD Foglights) GROUP BUY - $80 Interest Check

I wrote this email to APT Auto about a day or so ago:

I am 95% sure that if you did some sort of discount for a group buy (bulk order of 10 or 20+) that you could make some serious profit.

Please let me know. I do not mind being a liaison to my forum members and setting up the group buy and being the front man (I will pay up front with my money, or you can sell individually to the members via paypal)

I am pretty sure the forum members would have to see total shipped sets for around $70 - $75 in order for this thing to really take off.

My email is (removed) and my scionlife ID is minter66 if you are interested.

Thank you, and I hope I can further your business via scionlife.com

Well I got back this email this morning:

If you could purchase 1 box (1box=10 sets) or more each time (for one address), the price will be USD$65/ set and the shipping fee will be USD$15.
It will save $25 each($80/ each set including shipping fee).
I’m afraid that is the best offer, or if you can advise the lower price way for shipping then you can save more.
Thanks for your interested and waiting for your reply.

Best regards,

I am setting up a list below for people who want to get in on this Group Buy. Please note that through eBay you have to pay $80 per set plus $25 shipping. You can get them for $80 shipped. That's not a bad savings. If I end up paying up front, I may need like an extra $2 or $3 to HELP shipping when you pay, I don't mind taking a small hit for the team

If I get the list full, I will start it up and find out all the details including payment (individually or do I need to pay up front) shipping details (any faster than the standard 2 weeks?) and other stuff (like Warranties, Overlays, etc...)

As awesome as a deal as it may be - a rep from APT/VRD or a retailer will have to organize the group buy. It has to be someone registered as a forum sponsor - and would have to be posted in the Sponsored Sales forum (though there could be an "interest" thread here pointing to that other one once it is created).
