Title: 2.4ghz buying in bulk
Post by: Nic-z on February 13, 2008, 12:00:45 PM
I don't know what kind of pull any of us have but if we could get a group of us interested in these things and buy in bulk for a disc. rate, I think that would be sweet I have a local hobby shop, hobby habit, he seems like a cool kid on the phone and beat every online price I threw at him for other stuff, and he can get mini-z in.  Just dont' know how much it will be....anywho just a thought.

Okay I've offically found my local hook up for now lol.  the manager at my local shop carries Kyosho, he can order me anything kyosho mini-z, AND HE MATCHES ONLINE PRICES and you don't have to pay shipping.  So he ordered me a yellow sand h1 readyset, I found them at ultimate for 119 (plus 25 shipping) and hes selling it to me for 119! whoo hoo! Anywho if you guys need anything, I am putting in some orders hes a chill guy and wants our business so if hes being that accomodating i say I'm gunna run with it....now what to order lol.

one thing you will need to remember,  that even thought he can order it doesn't me he can get it.  the determining factor is actually if Kyosho america has it in stock. 

if it happens that they do than you are in luck.   this is why some of the shops have stuff in there stores that people buy, and then they get a call saying that they actually don't have physical stock.

I'd had to say it, but with the Mini-Z stuff,  I wouldn't hold your breath.

Russ, yeah got two bodies from him as well, NML is cool I hope he sells me one of his motors for the modify class if we decide to roll with 2.4ghz.  He sold me a new red 360GTC and black merci and a new overland, no wheels or body for 55.  I have a yellow sand hummer RTR on order just in case from hobby habbit for 119 as well. If I end up with two I will list one on ebay. But I am buying the white body on ebay (if luke doesn't want it) and painting it white or just leaving it white.  Need some wheels and tires, probably getting the black pn +3's since chrome ones are being dicontinued due to eviro laws on how they do chrome.

Cool!! I was wondering why they never got chromes ones back in.
You got all that for $55? Good deal man!! I thought I was the resident bargain shopper. Doh!!

the info is correct.  to top that off, qnty of sales influences the qnty delivered in any order request.  naturally, every shop is wanting these therefore, some are going to end up waiting for 2nd, 3rd restock i'm afraid.  for example, david sells an enormous amount of kyosho product, he can request 100 and only get 30. 

whatever you do, don't pay up front or you could be left without your money and no car for some time.
