May I add ofey that I myself am truely grateful for the services you have provided and continue to provide to this club, you are legendary my friend!

I know that I am shocked to see the responses and comments you get from some people on here. Comments which should not be said.

For that whole $1.20 ofey has profited off the members on this site I'm sure has been absorbed by miss calculations for shipping costs etc. I'd say that ofey would even be owed money by a lot of you... but he doesn't come crying up to you for $1 here and there, he make the difference with his own money. THAT he should not have to do, but because he has done so a couple of times means he deserves a lot more trust and respect of a lot more members.

He does not have to go out of his way, in his own personal time, to go hunting down cheaper prices for us members, but he does do it, and we ALL should be grateful, purchase off him instead of elsewhere and thank him sincerely.

Now to all those who whine about the cost of the tail lights... GTFO. Go price them up at the ONLY Australian Distributer, www.blingbitz.com.au. WHEN RELEASED (ie you can't get them yet) they will be >$600 plus shipping. That makes ofey's f**king cheap you tight a**e pricks! ofey could easily sell them for that price and make a nice profit. BUT he DOES NOT. Why? Because he is a kind person, trying to help us all out. So be f**king grateful FFS!!!

Wow, dont listen to them ofey. The majority of us realise how much work you do for the club.

I think people need to also realise though that you have fronted thousands of dollars upfront to buy these tail lights and even the bulk purchasing of the air aroma thingies. Not to mention the petrol you spend driving around to pick up and post the items. I personally see nothing wrong with simply rounding up to the nearest dollar, round figures are nicer to deal with :lol: Plus once you consider the expenses you incur (be it petrol (and the associated wear and tear of your car) driving around or the lost interest on the money you have fronted up) providing the group buys to us, you aren't making a profit, rather a loss....

With the parts from PMR people should shut up and pay what you're asking or just go to their dealer and pay an extra 20-30% atleast for the same part if they don't like it.

I'm still undecided on these lights, I used to hate the red ones but since having my Evo X spoiler on I am unsure of which would look better now...

EDIT: ^ Agree with Adrian on this too

Oh I'll also add that a few weeks ago I included with my transfer an extra $50 for ofey himself. Just to cover his time and fuel etc for the small things that I have got off him thus far:

1. RA Grille Badge
2. Couple of small items from PMR
3. EBC/RDA Brakes

I didn't have to do it, but I wanted to give thanks for all the effort.

Although I haven't purchased anything from a group buy yet I do appreciate the effort that Ofey goes to to organise these buys.
+1

(money is tight at the moment for me especially because I'm still getting used to all the direct debits for the lancer/insurance/dealer fitted extras & other unrelated debits.)

Well I for one can certainly vouch for ofey's efforts and honesty. It is disappointing that some don't, especially 'mates'. I sincerely appreciate his time and the $$ that go with the tasks he does for US.

I'd stick my hand up for these lights - but as you can see (<<------------ ) they ain't gonna fit my ride.....

.


i dont know about what else has happened mate, but i can assure you, b3n87 was just winding you up. we where laughing as he asked ...

that said, keep up the good work :)

for me personally, i got no issue if you do make a profit out of it. you put in the effort, then all the power to you :)

if im happy with the price of something and i think its fair im not bothered one bit if you make a profit out of it, infact im surprised you arent, or dont want to make abit on the side out of it.

anyways, still on for 6? cant wait to get my hands on some LED's :)

i too have not been involved in the group buys yet but i have seen them all and am amased at the effort you make ofey. what you give is better service and better support than any shop you can get parts from and definetly better prices. you are one of the main parts of making this club so great

thank you

OFEY - For what it's worth I feel you are doing an amazing job for the members and it's a shame some want to whinge and whine about petty things,without you and your efforts some of us won't be able to mod for some time if at all.
I can only support previous sentiments and also add my own as I will be purchasing several items from you very soon.
I'm layed up at the moment after an operation but I will be in touch as soon as I'm back working earning some dollars.
All the very best to you and please keep up the fantastic work you're doing - Chris.

Profit is one thing but I told Ozie at the start is that I didn't want ever to have accusations of PROFITEERING levelled against me.

I make enough for petrol and some inconvenience but everything else I do on my own accord.

I much prefer out of pocket payments like from SIR-VRX rather than me taking money out of your pocket without your knowledge.

Just the way I see it.

Hey Ozie are you still doing the group ship to NSW (i think from what you might of posted earlier in the thread), getting the stuff off ofey? I might join in if u still are and get the smoked ones.

Group shipping in some strange way increases the costs for me since the insurance on the overall stack goes up and I need to either buy a bigger box to put all the small boxes into or get a pallet. Simply not worth my while.

Speaking of group ship, if the EBC/RDA stuff to Brisbane works out cheaper/easier for you to be done separate that is fine by me :D
