Re:Leather Discounts for Roadstar Clinic Members 3 Years, 2 Months ago  
Okay I need to clarify something and make it perfectly clear to everyone. Myleather.com is my supplier, they are a wholesaler. These are not the prices that you all need to go by. The prices on their web site are my cost. Those prices are what I pay. I need to make some over the wholesale pricing to cover my cost for shipping from the supplier to me and my time and effort. As it is, I estimate my profits will just cover shipping from my supplier to me. The only reason I put myleather up for you all to see was so you could see my cost and know that the pricing I am offering is more than fair, especially when you tally in my cost for shipping from my supplier and my time and efforts. As mentioned, the prices I will give will just cover my cost and it may not even do that when it is all said and done. This is an experiment of sorts, to see if I will be able to continue offering these discounts to Clinic members. It may turn out that it is actually costing me money, and if that happens, I will need to pull the plug on it.

So here is the deal. The prices everyone needs to be looking at are at www.leatherup.com . I made this very clear in the first post of this thread and it also states in the disclaimer of that same post that the discounts are based on www.leatherup.com current purchase pricing only. There is also a link to www.leatherup.com in that first post, I just added 2 more. My discounts are based on the prices at www.leatherup.com . I will offer discounts based on www.leatherup.com current pricing only, if I can. In fact a clinic member inquired about 4 items. I was able to offer them a savings of 40.35 off the myleather prices. So, when you PM me to list items, please include the leatherup.com prices, not the myleather prices. Feel free to go to myleather.com to see what my costs are, but do not base your order on those prices because I can't offer items at cost. I hope this makes everything clear. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please ask me. Thank you.

Re:Leather Discounts for Roadstar Clinic Members 3 Years, 2 Months ago  
I think I created a monster. Here is how it works currently. This is a work in progress so stay tuned, but I think this will be the best way to handle it. My supplier requires a minimum order of 300.00. Since many of us don't need a 300.00 purchase here is what we can try. We will try a purchase pool where everyone can put their order in the purchase pool. When the pool reaches 300.00 or more, I can make the order. So here is what I have come up with.

1. Pick the items you want from www.leatherup.com
2. PM with the item numbers, quantity, size, and any other pertinent info
3. I will PM you back with my price.
4. If you approve of my price, you must PM me back with an approval to be placed in the purchase pool for your order.
5. Then you wait as other members add their orders to the purchase pool.
6. When the Purchase pool order reaches the minimum 300.00 requirement, I will PM each member that has a pending order in the purchase pool with a notice, and a request for your email address and shipping address.
7. I will email each member in the purchase pool with a payment request from my PayPal account. Texas residents pay 8% sales tax, because I am required to pay state sales tax for items sold to Texas residents.
8. I will then place the order.
9. I pay shipping from the supplier to me.
10. When I receive the order, the individual orders will be separated and packaged for shipping to the appropriate members.
11. Orders that I have received payment on will be shipped. Orders that I have not received payment on will be held until payment is made.
12. Members pay shipping from Lewisville, Texas to their location.

This is what I have at the moment. I am sure that changes will be made as I become aware of things that can be made better.

Doesn't seem to be enough interest for this thing to work.

RH - I think you should persevere. Not everybody is ready to buy something on the spot. If you keep the offer open, and the people who placed orders are not in a rush to get them, just wait until you reach your minimum purchase and go from there. Given enough time, it may snowball into a bigger order and everyone will be happy.

God bless.

Yeah, it is too soon to pull the plug but my impression is people will not want to wait for their order that long. I wish I could get those prices without having to make a minimum purchase. Now that would be a deal for me. As it is, if I find a supplier with real wholesale prices, there is always some catch to it. Most of my suppliers charge me almost as much as any retail store would. And people wonder why American businesses take their vendor business overseas. I don't wonder, I know why. We have gotten so greedy, we have greeded ourselves out of jobs. But, that is a different thread. I have kept my vendors on American soil but I wouldn't be able to if I didn't have a home based business. I will leave it up a while.

Well, it has been 1 month since I started this and no one has put their order in the hat. I doubt that anyone would want to wait a month or more for their order, I know I wouldn't so, due to lack of interest/participation, this offer is no longer available. Don't say I didn't offer.
