This add was just running as a banner:

Right above our forum. Hah. Probably has been there before, but I just picked up on it.

I bought one just the other day.

Now if they would just discount those shipping fees. That costs twice what the jack block did.

Default Sounds like a perfect opportunity for a pseudo-group buy...

The shipping is minimally more for multiples, isn't it? Can one person order a couple dozen, and the "re-sell" them? It might work, so long as individual shipping charges aren't too bad...

Default Dang man, I just bought 2 of those JC Whitney things.

I always like to have more than one of this kind of item (especially considering it had no effect on the shipping cost...also got some cheap wheel chocks)). Those urethane blocks look like the real deal.

<center><img src="http://www.turbomonkey.elitedubs.com/Jack%20Pad%20saddle%20004.jpg"></center><p>Dave,

Thanks for the plug!

For those interested, I am running a GB on these at CB5 but its open to any one here on Audiworld too of course. You can email me for more info at turbomonkey@gmail.com

I have some of these left, and will be starting a third production run tomorrow to have ready for Monday so no delay in getting them out.

Some answers to frequently asked questions:

1. Why use this when I can just use a hockey puck? The jack pad I make is made from polyurethane which is a significantly better material than the rubber and filler used in hocky pucks for this application. The urethane used is significantly more tear and cut resistant and while hard enough for the application, is soft enough to conform to the pinch weld so there is no play.

2. How quickly do you ship? I typically send the pad out the same day or next after receiving payment. I typically send out via USPS to keep shipping costs down.

3. Do you accept paypal? I do accept paypal and do not upcharge for the paypal fees. You can email me at turbomonkey@gmail.com for paypal information as I do not like to post that address on the internet. I know this is a bit more inconvenient but its the best way for me.

4. Is there a discount for ordering more than one? Unfortunately no. I've priced these at the absolute lowest I can for single peices so multiples cannot be discounted. Additionally, the savings in shipping for multiple pads is minimal for me, typically less than 25 cents so discounting and trying to track that isn't worth the effort for me.

5. How much? $17 shipped via USPS. If you want it quicker than that, email me and I will work with you.

6. How did I get to be so cool? Good genes, I guess. Thanks for noticing.

Mike

Had a couple of folks email me on these - I am no longer selling these direct but you can purchase them on a group buy from Troopster93 on Club B5 - sorry I don't have a link. You can also email him direct at admin@dubstop.com He's a great seller and the price is still $17 shipped.
