Oh dear, what have I gotten myself into ... again?:confused:
The time has come. More grill badges have been ordered from the vendor and I expect to have them in my hands the week of October 4. Once they arrive I will package and ship them out as quickly as I can to those who have ordered and paid. At this time there are officially requests for 51 badges in the "interest" thread, PMs, and email. I have ordered 100 pieces: 55 White, 35 Inka, and 10 Golf. Those who have stated a color choice as of today will be guaranteed what they asked for.
First, I must apologize in advance for a few things and thank everyone for their understanding:
1. I am frequently travelling so it is possible there could be a delay in shipping the badges if I am not at home when they arrive. I promise to do it as promptly as I can.
2. Despite some interest in various colors I decided to go with the three colors I selected. I was afraid silver would not show up well with the chrome outline. I did work on a blue car scheme but I just couldn't make it look good. There are some other colors that would have been interesting - perhaps a future run.
3. I will have a finite number of badges and a finite number of each color. It is also possible that some of the 100 pieces will be defective; last time there was only one with a bubble in the cloisonnes. So, those who have spoken up will get what they ask for if they officially order by the shipping date. The rest will be sold first come, first serve. If I run out of your desired color I will still reserve a badge and let you know what, if any, color choice is available.
As I receive orders I will try to confirm them promptly. Again, please remember I am spending far too much times in planes, trains, and automobiles so I may be out of touch for multi-day periods; I promise do my best. The badges will all be shipped by US Mail as fast as I can get them packaged and labelled.
To order a badge please send an email to me at jhjacobs(AT)ix.netcom.com with the following information:
1. Subject: E9-DRIVEN GRILL BADGE ORDER (this will make it easier for me)
2. Your name
3. Your board name (this is needed to confirm those who stated a preference - I know many real names but not all)
4. Your shipping address (I will use exactly what you type with appropriate country information)
5. How many badges you want and color preference(s). If you are flexible in your color choice it would be helpful for me to know this too.
6. How & when you plan to pay
I will respond to each and every email with a confirmation. If you don't get a confirmation within 72 hours you might send a PM follow up; SPAM filters are alive and well and I have no idea what makes them eat mail. Email is preferred but if for some reason you don't have email access you may PM this information. Thanks to DANG my PM box is bigger now.
On the last run of badges everyone paid so fast it made my head spin. There were absolutely no issues at all. So, if you send an email order, your badge(s) will be reserved for 30 at least days with our without payment. I will ship out badges that have been paid for and hold pending payment those that have not.
Payment details: $25us per badge, shipping included
Option 1 - Paypal to: jhjacobs(at)ix.netcom.com

I am presently upside down in this venture about $2000us. After all is said and done I will post a final accounting (just like last time). Any surplus will be applied to a good (or close approximation of good) Coupe / BMW / Automotive cause -- or maybe just a new starter for my coupe. :-? I kind of hope that I wind up with some spare badges so I can carry them to shows and sell them for outrageous prices. :twisted:
If you have any questions, concerns, or comments I can be reached by phone at: +1 (three zero one) 917 5333.
My thanks to everyone for the kind words and understanding about what it takes to pull something like this off. I truly hope no one is disappointed. If there are any issues in shipping, quality, satisfaction etc., I will do everything I can to make it right and I will gladly refund payments if you aren't happy. This is not a for-profit activity on my part; I am doing this for the pleasure of the community. This is with out a doubt the best collection of enthusiasts on the web. My hat's off to all of you!
My last thought - I hope that we can start a badge photo contest. I never get tired of seeing them. :-D
