Group buy! (was: Hatch cover holders)

[jtoomasson@yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

Hell - between here, the Vortex (with all the cabby and corrado owners) and
maybe even Gti16v.org, I'd be pretty sure we could scare up 250...

we could sell them at Cincy (or someone who will be there, because I can't
go), and at ND (which I will make). If the dealer charges only $2 per, the
manufacturing cost can't be more than $0.50 per, so if we charged even $5
per

I'd bet Tim or Mike would probably be willing to take on some for their own
stock...
