********UPDATED********
********8/30/08*********

So I just had a great conversation with Scott at Matrix. Good down to earth guy. And the good news is he says we can def' work something out. He is going to take a few days to see what he can do and then will get back to me. As soon as I know more you guys will know more.

As usual with these types of deals there need to be some limiting criteria to make sure it is not abused and that we are fair to Matrix because they are taking care of us. To that end I suggest the following criteria, subject to what Scott wants to do:

1-There will be a finite amount of time that the offer is open. Will be roughly 2 weeks to make a commitment to purchase.

2-Once you are committed, and the enrollment time closes, payment will be expected within 2 weeks. How this is going to be arranged we have yet to decide. Scott and I will work out whether it will be through me, directly to him, or perhaps a discount code that you enter on the website to order items directly.

3-And most important, this will not be a deal that gets posted all over the Ducati related internet. This is for DucatiSpot members only. Prices will most likely be confidential and will require a call to Scott or a PM to me.

If it comes to light that these prices are being generally distributed the deal will end. If I or Scott am able to identify whom is responsible for this breach, they will be excluded from the buy/deal. And unfortunately for the rest of us, Matrix will be very unwilling to offer a deal in the future.....

I don't mean to sound like an ass, or a jerk in this post, but having done these group buys/discounts many times over the past 10 years for MINIs, Volkswagens, and other hobbies, these are the areas that cause the most problems. I can assure you, laying down these things in the planning stages will prevent problems in the actual execution of the deal.

In the end, we all need to remember Matrix is doing us a favor. Sure they will make money, as they should, they are a business. But it is not something they have to do! Let's make sure we represent ourselves well.

Cheers,
Joel

*******PM me for details on pricing and specifics******

So I got email back from Scott at Matrix today. I can tell everyone that the deal he is offering is better than the offer through Northercalboy's vendor contact. Not bagging on that vendor at all. Simply stating the facts.

This deal will be open to ANY product that Matrix sells on their website, including items already on sale and closeout.

Specifically addressing rearsets:
Acculign has advised all vendors that there can be interference issues with their sets and the stock Ducati levers, as such, Matrix will only be offering these as complete setups. No rearsets only. Also, as Acculign has recently moved, there may be a delay in delivery of the sets to the those who pay for theirs later in the buy window. Scott assures me he will be getting them out as fast as he can, but is limited by how quickly Mark can get him sets and he can get them anodized. He will have options in how to deal with this on an individual level after you place your order.

Details:
-We need a minimum of 10 participants
-Maximum number is limited to 50 participants
-Deal will run through October 14th
-Minimum purchase is $200, exclusive of shipping
-All orders will be shipped through USPS Priority
-Discount will not apply to shipping
-All items should be ordered at one time, not divided into several orders over the next 45 days, so make sure you have everything you want when you place the order.

-All orders/returns/exchanges will be processed directly through Matrix's website.
-Matrix wants all orders done individually to aid in communication and any issues that may arise


And most importantly, you need to PM me for the way to get the discount on your order when placed.

Finally, this deal is not to be distributed on other websites, or by email, voicemail, pony expresss, carrier pigeon, etc to individuals. This offer is for DucatiSpot members only. Believe me, Scott will know if someone is purchasing products and is not a member. A monitoring system is in place. Not a threat, just a guarantee that the offer is not abused.

Please post up that you want in on the deal. Once I have 10 user ID's and PM's from them, I will start distributing the website coupon code.
