Subject: Status of AMSOIL air filter for GTS
Hey Richard, how's it going ?
For some reason, I have been booted off the GTS list. I cannot receive it
at home or at work, even though I re-signed up about two months ago. I can
see the email guys maybe blocking it off from work, but home too ? Go
figure. Been so busy that I did not really have time for it anyhow. More
on that later.
On the AMSOIL air filter: I fought back and forth with them on making it,
but the end result was that they could not do it at a reasonable price.
The framework had to be custom built out of metal, because the molding for a
plastic framework was too expensive for such a low volume piece. My
mistake was dealing with the technical guys on getting it built, which was
very doable. When it came time to price it out, the beancounters realized
that it would be very expensive to build, so they at first refused to build
it. When I kept pushing the issue (I had GTS'er that wanted 80 units at
least) they said that if I came up with a very large non-refundable deposit,
they would build it. But the unit price cost was closing in on $90 each at
least, so that would be $180 for a pair. At that price, very few people
would buy it, since the stock filter can be had for about $25 or less. The
Amsoil filter guys knew that demand would fall as the price rose, which was
why the business office wanted the deposit. In the end, the entire deal
fell through back in April.
The bigger problem is more my fault, in that I did not communicate the
progress of the air filter with the rest of the GTS list. I want to
apologize to anyone who was inconvenienced by me, perhaps delaying the
purchase of filters in hopes of the reusable one becoming available. My
life has been a real hell lately due to my job. My company is getting ready
to go public, and everybody is working 80 hour weeks either building our
products, designing the companion software and factory automation/ERP
(enterprise resource planning) software (software is my area), or dealing
with the financial end. So my entire life is centered around my job, to
the detriment of my family and social life.
So basically, I want to apologize to the GTS list about my inability to
get AMSOIL to build the air filter, and hope you will forgive me and still
allow me to participate on the list. And I owe you Richard a big favor,
because you sent me the sample filter, spent YOUR money and your time to
package it and send it to me. I am trying to figure out a way to repay the
favor, if you have any suggestions, please let me know.
If you have any comments you would like to send to me directly, my home
email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Also, if you could post this to the GTS list for me I would appreciate it.
Again, I would like to appologize to everyone.
