Contact Chris as Superbrace and ask him how many buyers would be needed to get a group buy discount.

I would like to get in on this. I got sick and forgot about ordering on the last group buy.

RACERWILL: you need a superbrace just awful! (I hope that helped)

Hi Gang:

Chris got back to me with the following:

" I just contacted Superbrace and asked what I'd need to get it going. They said 30 I think it was so I posted it to gauge interest and then they just did it. I'm not sure if they were looking at the forum or not. I think they had done it before and just offered it as a special themselves. "

I was going to contact the folks at Superbrace and see if we can set up a group buy but Bert says he is doing that now so we should hear from him soon.

I wasn't involved last time, but from the posts I've seen it looks like they shipped quite quickly.

Because a group buy requires a certain number of buyers all buyers must pay before the items are shipped. If the required number of buyers is not reached then refunds are sent.

Many times you get people that say they are gonna buy but then when it come down to actually paying they back out. This can cause a problem for the vendor since they need to make a profit in order to stay in business. If they say they need 35 buyers to give a discount and then only 30 people pay they lose money. I am sure everyone here can understand this.

So if you say in this thread that you want to purchase, please be 100% sure that you really do.

I have spoken with Chris at Superbrace about this and they in the process of determining whether or not they can do a group buy at this time.

If you just have to have a Superbrace by next week then a gorup buy is probably not for you.

I'm on the fence about this, can't decide between the superbrace or the SE.

I am prepared to commit if we can order them within two weeks have them within five weeks from now.

What is the normal retail price? I may be interested in the group buy.

What are the final details...if we get the 30 people, how much will the cost be? I didn't see it posted here. ANYONE???

I would be interested and there might be others too, if the price was listed here.

Does anyone really need the thing immediately, if we can save and have to wait a few weeks I think it would be worth it. But that is just my thought.

Retail is between 148.-168 depending on model of bike..

If the price is good I will consider one. But wont commit till I get a price :).. If this is still a go.

What is the normal retail price? I may be interested in the group buy.

Folks here is a thread from a superbrace group
buy that took place a couple years ago just
for reference. I don't know if the prices would
be better or not but anyway, click here. (http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/showthread.php?t=16447)

All...I am still talking with Chris about this. They are trying to work something out but have not made a final decision yet. Please be patient.

Can't answer your question as to whether it's on or not, but I must have missed this in April...

I'd be interested as well.

I pm'd Bert about it he was looking into it. I think with all the new bike owners it would work.

Well I have some good news and some bad news.

Bad news is at this time Superbrace can not do a group buy. They only have one a year and the last finished right before the end of 2006.

They would like to do one but it would cause problems for them among their distributors who they would be undercutting. As you can understand this would be bad for business.

Good news if that they will probably have another group buy in the fall or winter.

Could you contact SuperBrace and ask them which dealer would be best to find a group discount?

I'll wait for that then.
