WC Lathe Werks Shift ****- Gauging interest

Hey Guys,
My fraternity brother is the owner/founder/machinist at WC Lathe Werks. He makes AWESOME shift ***** and I was considering picking one up. Instead of just ordering one I figured I would try and help him, myself, and all of you guys out at the same time. I spoke with him about doing a group buy on the G37 forum (he's a WRX guy... dont fault him) and he said he'd be interested. I asked about pricing and he agreed to the following discounts:

If 5 people order, we all get 5% off
If 10 people order, we all get 10% off
If 25 people order, we all get 15% off.

He initially wanted to do all the same item/material/design to keep it easy/quick, but i told him that everyone would probably rather have their own choice. He said that is fine, but did warn me that it may take a little while longer in that case if there is a large order placed.

There have been a few guys on here who have had these ***** and really liked them. I actually looked around a bit online and couldn't find a review that was bad about his work.

Here is a link to the website, specifically the 370Z section:
350Z & 370Z - WC Lathe Werks | Truly Unique Shift *****, Proudly Hand-Crafted in The USA!

If you are interested, just add a number to the list below and put your username by the number. Or you can just PM me.

You can ask Chris, but unless we hit one of the tiers, it wont matter anyway. Realistically though, this wasn't designed to discount orders that he would have gotten anyways, it was more around getting him new business and helping people get a deal on some incredibly high quality shift *****. I for one plan on getting a titanium sphere with the silver to blue fade finish.

Well this is certainly not as active as I would have hoped. I guess noone is interested?

I guess I'll give this until like mid-March and just close the thread if there isnt anyone responding.

I'm still waiting on more people to sign up for it. I'm sure there are more people who would be interested, but I feel like the group buy section isnt viewed very often, so not many people are seeing it. We need at least 2 more people to get the 5% off tier. I would like to see at least 10 though. Are you guys cool if we just wait until the end of the month (hopefully we get two more people by then)?

I'm not up for waiting for however long it takes to get a large order as it will only save me $9 but definitely appreciate the effort that went into this and he got a new customer in me regardless.

I kinda figured I would just call it at the end of this month if you wanted to wait about another week. It may not make a difference, but hey... 9 bucks is 9 bucks lol.

I'm assuming these are all manual shift ***** and won't work with an auto?
