Who are we ???? - Cafe Racers
« on: Oct 14, 2012, 12:29:19 »
Just came across these. Look like being around £3.00 each including the UK VAT which unfortunately cannot be lost. High quality enamel with pin fixing. That's a hand in the background to give you an idea of size.

I'm aiming for 50 in the first consignment, but 100 will bring the costs down. Just working out the freight and duty / vat now - any interest ?

Thanx Bill -

I'll let this run for a week or two, but in the meantime I'll get a firm quote for 50 anyway.

whooooaaaa slow down boys - I best order 100 then !!!!

OK - I just wanted to get a feel for these from "those that know" - Tacky or groovy .. it's a thin line.

Looks like groovy has it. Yhey'll certainly be under $10 - probably nearer $8 - sound reasonable ?

TJ - $8 shipped to the US? If so, definitely reasonable. If it's still + shipping, sorta on the edge, but not too bad

That would be $8 landed in the US - I'm looking to drop ship to DWMS Racing to lower carriage costs.

If take up is good then we'll see about keeping stock in the US and you guys can order direct.

We recently had these patches [ and decals ] done for guys buying the RAM shox, but we've had people buying them just 'cos they like the design !!
