Right now, we are in the high two digit area. We are in the first category... still. I am kinda bummed. I expected this one to blow past 500 easily. I am not sure why it hasn't, really.

This is the last week of the deal, as you know. We don't need many more in order to reach the second category. Hopefully people will jump in and participate this week. They usually do.

This is the best deal out there on this radio already. You will not find it any cheaper anywhere else.

Low three digit numbers is my current expectations.

I hope it happens.

I posted this on the other site. Dunno if you caught it.

Say, did anyone else get this V. Tech announcement today?

Shares of Garmin Ltd. jumped 5% in morning trading on speculation it could be an acquisition target of Microsoft Corp.!

Hmmmm, It makes the group buy on the ICOM A-210 sound even BETTER, huh?


It is one of those things that makes you go, hmmmm.

See? Hmmmmm...

oh god, I hope not. I really think Garmin makes some top-notch, solid products. If MS acquires them, that's all history :(

Same here! Lets hope there are a bunch of other procrastinators out there so we can blow past the 200 mark! That extra $22 in my pocket will buy a nice fifth of gin! :grin:

I remeber when Captain's was $15 a bottle!!!

I think I am getting old...

Well, the fat lady has sung. The deal is done...

I am happy to say that this deal is complete. The dust has yet to settle, but we may have made it into the second category. Still not sure, though.

Thanks to all who participated!

CJ-

Thanks for all of your hard work on this group buy! Even if we stay in the first category, you still saved everyone who participated about $200!

The burning question in the back of my mind is.....whats next?

It was my pleasure.

Say, what do you think about Lord engine mounts?

Want me to work on those next?

Are the engine mounts something that comes with the finishing kit or the FWF kit?
