    I have not nailed down my Low Introductory Forum Only price. Impressive, huh? Also, I will only be selling them non-painted, I do not want to mess with painting them different colors.

    I think I am going to ship them using bubble mailers to reduce the shipping cost. They should be safe in those, they are pretty flexible. I have no idea about shipping to Canada, maybe Doctor Boyer can school me on average cost.

    Don't think too long cause that makes the price go up lol

    Will each piece be tested on your car before being put into population? lol It would be cool to have a part that came off of your car :biglaugh:
    :rolleyes:

    Yes, each piece will be test fitted before I send them to anyone. Also, once they are test fitted, I will label them right and left, even though a trained eye will notice that there actually isn't a left and a right UNTIL the seal has been installed and taken a specific shape. This also means that all the Mavericks will have a Comet part bestowed onto them. And we all know that is really the ultimate goal here.

    Paypal will be a, if not only, payment option. I looked into that today actually, and they charge 2.9% + $0.30 for each payment I receive. Not a big deal really, to me, it's worth it for the ease of both the seller and the buyer. I don't have a bank branch local to me, so sometimes checks and money orders are a big pain.

    OK now I need them for sure. My 2 year old little girl was in the Mav and picked apart the one seal and its visible. Need a set yesterday.

    Got the material delivered! I am going to make 10 pairs in the next couple of weeks.

    Please, do NOT email/PM me for a set yet!
    I will only start selling them once I have the 10 sets complete. I cannot guarantee time for production, so I do not want people to send money and then have to wait. I will let everyone know when they are available.
    Then, the money from those 10 will buy the materials for the next set of 10 (or more if there are a lot of people wanting them). And so-on. I really cannot invest a huge amount of money into this, nor do I want to, it just needs to be self-sustaining. And maybe help pay for my college books this fall. :yup:

    Introductory Pricing:
    The price for 1 pair (2 seals), including shipping, should be under $85. I do not know about you Canadian folk yet, or Europe, but should be less than $15 shipping to those places. So that total price might reach $90 shipped. I won't know for sure until I weigh a set and get a shipping price. Stay tuned everyone! (y)
