Rubber Door Handle Seal Group Buy

[Alan_525i]

OK folks, going to Singapore in a week and a half and as we all know Singapore is VERY close to Malaysia. If the seller would like to sell me bulk some of the rubber door handle seals he has, I'd be willing to bring them back for you all. Need to know if people are interested and how much you'd be willing to pay. (Obviously you'd be responsible for actual shipping from Philadelphia PA, but this should be very cheap).

Shogun, PM me and let me know what pricing you got from him when you bulk bought them (and even his direct email address if you still have it).

Yo my Singaporian homeboy...


I am down.

[Alan_525i]

OK, we'll start a list. Copy the existing list into your post and add your name. I'll try to get pricing ASAP. If you are tentative based on price, put a star next to your name.

He is based in KL = Kuala Lumpur. That is not very close to S-pore. Either 1 hour flight or by car some hours.
I will let you know his email adress and discount bulk rates this evening.
Usually I order >20 sets each 4 pieces. When you order 5-10 sets, that will not much help with discount.
And reserve some % for your efforts. That is fair enough. And think about import duty, when you handcarry them back to the US. I usually have to pay import duty plus consumption tax.
I would say that everyone could agree that you sell them at the offered Ebay price and they just save the money for shipping from Asia to USA and pay for the shipping within USA. Present buy it now price is 25 $

Japan is covered my me anyway.
I still have about 15 sets on stock. This auction still goes 6 hours and it is now already over 50 $, what a joy :D

I'm in if less than 25.00. Otherwise It will maybe save me a few bucks on shipping.

[Alan_525i]

Yeah I know KL is an hour by plane from Singapore but shipping bulk from KL to Singapore has to be much cheaper than shipping 1 to the US. I wouldn't do the deal if it weren't more than 20. Just doesn't make sense.

bump

[Incantation]

i would do it even if the stuff was 40 bucks a set.. can't have crappy old broken rubber around the door handles (like mine was)

[AllGo'n'Show]

Fit 7's as well?

[Alan_525i]

Yes, E32 and E34 use the same door handles.

[AllGo'n'Show]

Get me a firm price and I will let you know!

The lock holes are on the same side of the seal! I'm surprised. These have been bought from this vendor before with no problems. Will have to investigate this.

[wingman]

Rather than send them back I think I can adapt them to fit.

[hakwuzhere]

If they are less than $25, Im in. Also if the lock holes are correct :)

[Alan_525i]

Sorry guys, given that there are only 5 people interested, I really can't make it work. Apologies.

[willobmw]

Is was worth a try. Happy Holidays

Im in! do you want this to be stickied or something the next few days? when you leaving? I saw this a while ago and didnt even read it cause when I came back it was off the main page.

[shogun]

Wingman: think about what you have mentioned. They fit. The holes are under the door handle when you install them at the rear doors. No problem. So these gaskets are universal and not only for the front or rear doors. That is even better because you can change by need.
They also fit other models, even E36 and Z3. Of course ones does not need 4 gaskets for 4 doors on a Z3, only 2. That is why you can also use this set to split for 2 Z3 cars.
E32, E34, E36 and Z3 fit.
I have meanwhile sold close to 100 sets and not a single complain.
If Alan does not make it now because of the small qty, buy directly from the seller and the link is on page 1.
Alan cannot get a discount with an order for 5 or 6 sets only, just saving on shipping. From each second set you order the shipping cost is less than for the first set, depending on country of destination. See the bidding info.
I usually order 20 sets to get a discount.
Do not ask me to sell to you outside Japan. Does not work, I already paid for shipping to Japan and import duty and tax. Then again the cost for shipping outside Japan to another country, that makes no sense.
Buy several sets and sell them in USA or wherever you live, but it is a risk. Because there are always some people which do not want to pay later, delay payment, never intend to pay. Therefore I only send out the parts now when I have the money in the bank.

Alan is a student. So it is quite risky for him to pay such large amount to the seller without having firm orders from all and the money from the buyers in his bank acccount.

Buy directly, or order some sets and distribute in a smaller circles.
I always bring several sets to our monthly E32 Club meeting here in Japan and the people are happy that they evn do not pay for shipping.

question; what benefit do i get if i change my chapped up rubber seal there?

[hakwuzhere]

3-5hp across the board....

(also the added bonus of a cleaner looking door handle)
