Buying Ayups - group discount


Little-Ditty's picture

By Little-Ditty - Posted on 06 September 2007

Hello all,

Some mates are purchasing some Ayups shortly, as a group. To talk Ayup into giving us a decent discount, we will need more buyers involved. I don't have a final figure to give you at the moment. However the standard cost for the regular kit is $395, but we should get the freight waived, plus a reduction in the per unit cost.

If you have not got your lights yet, why not get in on the action? Eye-wink Let me know asap.

Thanks!!
Liam.

"off the shelf" lighting? Talk about crossing to the dark side

Paul's picture

Stuart, its not the dark side, maybe Tien has seen the "light". Going Ay-Ups will also be a huge weight off his shoulder/back pack/frame.

Little-Ditty's picture

Yes Tien, I can confirm we will be getting the new sort. I am just asking for numbers at this point.

So you are in then?

Stuart: Ay-ups with the DIY Triple Cree on my bike - man that will be over 1000 lumens! Won't be any good if i can't go for night rides again/often :0(

But it depends on the level of poverty I'm in when you're purchasing them, I'd say 80% chance of getting an endurance set.

John, when you are sure, please re-post. No rush... you only have until Monday 10/09/07 to let me know. Smiling

What's the thinking on beam widths???

Cheers

Nic

ps May have another interested person or two from my Mont24 team...

Little-Ditty's picture

Nate, no worries mate, we have you down now.

Nic, you are down too. If your mates want in, do something about this with them soon, as we want to put orders in on Monday. We are running out of time to get orders back before the Mont.

Beam widths? Do a search on this website for "Ayup". You'll find heaps of discussion about beam widths. Me? I will be ordering a narrow and an intermediate.

Please don't turn this thread into a discussion about Ayup equipment. There are other posts available for this. Eye-wink Please just post your order. Thx

Hi all,

We are still in contact with the Ayups guys. We have not finalised the group buy yet (as at Friday 14/09/07). So there is no latest news to report.

I will touch base again next week to give you the final details. At this stage, a 7.5% discount with no freight cost is expected.

I will broadcast a post here about payments as soon as I know the details. As an educated guess, I am assuming you will need to EFT some money to an account (either mine or theirs), rather than make individual credit card payments, etc.

More soon Smiling

Any chance of getting these lights before the Mont practice weekend?

Little-Ditty's picture

Hello,

We should be in a position to order the lights on Monday next week, 24/09/07. No final cost figures available yet, as the Ayup boys have been cycling in NZ for the last few days. Will let you know on Monday the score... so watch this space.

Tien, yes we should definitely have the lights before the Mont practice. All of the beam widths are available at the moment, so we are not expecting any delays. I also want these lights for that weekend as well - in case we use them.

Thanks for your patience all! Smiling

Any chance of jumping on the band wagon?

Little-Ditty's picture

Matthew,
Please post the type of kit and beam width preference asap. We are ordering today!!

Little-Ditty's picture

Hi all,

Order is going through today. I emailed / contacted all of you asking for your full name, for Ayup warranty purposes. Please respond to me asap. PMs directly to me are preferable.

Thanks.

mclutterham's picture

Where could I pick them up from and how will I pay you?

Little-Ditty's picture

I just need your order details for now.

At this stage, the pick up will be from me, either in the city in BH, or from Cremorne AH. We can make an easy enough arrangement. I could meet you somewhere between my house and Marsfield for a drop off mid week, if that proves easiest.

Payment details will be provided later - although we are expecting to be able to EFT money individually / directly to Ayups. We don't have the bank details yet.

Cheers.

Little-Ditty's picture

Hi all,

I have sent an email to all those ordering an Ayup through me. Please look out for this. It contains all the details of your order, and how to pay.

If you did not receive this by the end of Wednesday 26/09/2007, please call or txt me asap on 0438 885 410.

Cheers!! Laughing out loud

Little-Ditty's picture

Sorry mate, yes it was too late. Sad

modelcitizen's picture

thanks anyway - i ordered a set at beginning of week though... can't wait!

Little-Ditty's picture

Hooray!! All the kits have arrived. We will need to get these distributed asap. Please see the email that I distributed to you all at 1:25 p.m. Friday to get the delivery methods. Please try to avoid using PM's here as I am not able to check these constantly. If this email has not turned up shortly thereafter, please call me on 0438 885 410 to make arrangements. Laughing out loud
