Lens Sale!!!

Ok. This is the only time you will see this but I need to get the frugal of you (Take that how you like......) motivated.
It won't happen again, I'll throw them away first.
So even though I will be losing money, I am offering a rebate of $5 to $10 per lens purchased until tonight 8/24/02 12:00 AM EST (GMT -5).
I am offering the rebate of $10 per lens on the Smoke & Colored Lenses or $5 on Clear Lenses only. Gel Lenses and Gel Filter do not qualify.

To qualify for this, make you're purchase through Paypal (only payment option I will offer the rebate with. No exceptions) including the postage (those who fail to read the site and do not click the postage button when the order is placed forfeit there rebate) by 12:00 AM EST (GMT-5) and you will receive your rebate of $5/$10 per lens in your Paypal account when you receive your confirmation email to ship them. I send the confirmation email out when they are packaged up and ready to go the next morning.

Does the $10 rebate on colored lenses include neon lenses?

I hope so as I just ordered 2 neon lenses :-)

I'm not frugal, but you motivated me anyhow. What does that mean?

Yes.

Take it however you want but it is mainly aimed at the few who seem to think I overcharge for these.

I don't think that anyone thinks you overcharge. It's simply that some people don't feel that what they cost is worth what they provide. Not that the materials and effort you put into them don't cost as much as you're asking.

However, to be perfectly honest, the way you constantly deride said people doesn't exactly inspire them to change their minds, and it probably does change the minds of some of those who simply hadn't yet gotten around to purchasing them, myself included.

At the same time, I'm sure all of us appreciate, in general, the effort you put into making these and providing them.

Well, my own case was that I was perfectly happy living with a blue lens in my car, because the matching red color was just too dark to be usable during the day. I'd always been curious whether smoke or clear would look better with my BMW dashboard.

This sale finally made me say, "oh, heck, for $30, I can get both smoke and clear lenses and check it out."

same boat here. everyone has a different pricepoint for a product based on the value it brings to them. i too was happy with the stock lens, but for the discount.. i might give it a try. i ended up purchasing 2 of them!!

if you want to move some inventory, considering some bundeling deals. maybe if you buy 2, you get a discount, 3 a bigger discount. how about a bundle with the button LED kit? perhaps brian has some he wants to move.

i spent 3 years and $60K for an MBA just so i can figure this stuff out

everyone who appreciates all the effort ALL the folks who make aftermarket addons! you guys rock.

I have been blasted a few times in emails and don't appreciate it.

I don't intend to be harsh to the community in general, just the ones who have (for lack of better wording) issues with me, since I know there are people who appreciate what I do.

I truly appreciate the customers I have had and those who appreciate my work but I do have a "stormy" side which I'm sure even a couple of friends on the board could attest to.
I didn't come up with my 'handle' of DarkStorm, it was given to me. With good reason.

I'm not justifying the way I react sometimes, just explaining why.

3½ hours left for anyone wanting in on the sale.

All I'm saying is that you can attract more flies with honey than with vinegar.

I, personally, appreciate what you do, although I'm not inclined to purchase one of your lenses (a significant factor of which is that I've been unemployed for about a year and don't have $30 to spend on frivolities -- I wasn't even able to get a backup empeg).

BTW, I'm an asshole, too.

I ordered mine tonight...can't wait to be able to see the screen in the daylight...might be too much to ask for with a convertible though. We'll see.

Where are you located? or rather where are they shipping from? I'm moving in a week and hope I get it before the mail forwards it to my next address.

BTW, I'm an [censored], too.

I love it when guys admit to that Sorry, the temptation was just too much not to respond to that.

I'm probably one too at times.

I don't really think I'm an a**hole.
Difficult sometimes, yes, but not an a**hole.

Well, each of us has his own word.

Thanks darkstorm, suitably motivated

crap. If I'd read this in time I would have bought some more!

I think $30 is a fair price, and I'll probably end up buying one in the future. But generally speaking, the cheaper they are the more you're gonna sell. I always wanted an empeg, but it wasn't worth it to me until i got it for $400.

Darn, I missed this! You have to come to this forum everyday to not miss any good deals.

YEA!!!, damn i missed this cause this is the time i come on the board after a hard day at work, and for the past day & Sat last week at this time I wasn't able to get on the site!!, F#!&^@(!!!%$^#&#**#(*^#&*#(*%^#&$^%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
