Anyone Interested in a Russell Day Long Group Buy? - Page 10

fammdw · 11-05-2012, 12:55 PM

Thanks everyone! I've done all I can do and followed their instructions to a "T". The ball's in their court now. Hopefully it will happen.

I will continue to collect names for the list up until the time RDL accepts or rejects this group buy request.

Mike, Your solicitation letter to RDL could not have been worded more professionally. Thank you for the time and effort you have put into this project. It is much appreciated my friend.

Not interested in a new seat either but wanted to say what Mitch said.
Very well written and professional sounding letter.

I just read your letter, Mike, and wanted to echo the sentiments already expressed. Thank you for taking the time to do this. You are both gracious and persuasive.

Have you considered seeking political office?

Thanks for your efforts Mike - much appreciated!

Nicely composed letter, thanks for you efforts on our behalf. I bought my first RDL on a Gl1800 forum group buy a couple of years ago, I'm really hoping this one is a go!

Thanks for all your effort Mike, hopefully it works out!

Still waiting on a response to the email I sent Monday.

I was told by a list member that he called RDL to check on quilting and options for his seat. Kim told him that their schedule was open and if he could ship his seat this week, they would start his build immediately.

I think I'm being put off to squeeze every last full price order possible before they answer the email. I'll give it the rest of the day and then reach out again tomorrow. The least they could do is respond to the email. I know they received it.

Me: I would like to place a minimum of a $65,000 order.

RDL: Please hold.

161 people on the list...

Great email, now how long do we wait before we unleash 160 plus members on them utilizing guerrilla tactics.....like calling them and letting them we are real people and not just names on a list and that we have cash to spend and in light of four more years of an economic down turn, with you know who in the oval office, it would be in their best interest to accept our very generous offer. :)
