Jacubs shipped the scoop this past Thursday from his home in the Philippine Islands to me in Alabama. I expect receipt later this coming week. Upon receipt, I shall open it for inspection and then mail it to cronk for the reproductions. Here's what I want to run by you guys:
The shipping cost was 169.00 and Jacubs paid it up front. I will reimburse him upon receipt. (I've been corresponding with him regarding the matter and I'm here to tell you he's a super guy and well all owe him a very big thank you.) He refuses to accept any money for the scoop itself or his time. He just wants us to have our scoops so he really stepped up to the plate.
When I give the word soon, based on the shipping cost, I suggest each scoop buyer send me (paypal) 10.00. I feel that's reasonable. If we have 17 folks, I'll break even on the shipping from Jacubs and I'll pay for the shipping to cronk.
If we have more than 17 folks purchase the scoop, any shipping monies beyond 170.00 will be turned over from me to Tad to help support the forum
If we have less than 17 folks, I'll eat the difference.
Best I can remember, cronk was estimating a cost of approx 120.00 per unit. That will be 120.00 per unit plus shipping to your individual address.
Upon completion of this first run of scoops, I suggest cronk hold on to the "real" one for any future repro jobs (if he's willing).
Lastly, I hope cronk will provide the link to work he done with emblems, badges, etc. He's most talented.
I really want feedback on this. Good or bad; doesn't matter. I'm open to suggestions.
thanks,
shooter

The list in no way obligates anyone just yet. We will need to have a hard count for cronk to perform his cost analysis. We current stand at approximately 15 interested, including me and cronk, at this time of posting.
