Dear Mikey at 914Rubber,
At this moment I am only speaking for myself, but there might very well be other 914World members who are in the same boat and agree with the following proposal: Many of us with split, tattered, or otherwise unbecoming Rear Targa Pads have been patiently waiting for the "correct finish" 914Rubber version to be available. In the interim you have made available the AA version. For those of us who truly want the "correct" version but are sort of in limbo as we wait for their availability, would you consider a program whereby if we buy an AA version from you, you would then offer a reasonable trade-in/purchase price when the correct version is ready for market? This would give members a chance to spruce up their cars in the near term knowing that part of their initial investment in an AA version will go toward a correct version eventually. Regardless of how you respond to this idea, I am extremely grateful for the products you make available and wish you continued success. Ansbacher Tampa Bay Florida '74 914 2.0L |

Actually I dont have a problem with an open question on how we might handle the concept of a credit.
Sure we could, it them becomes a matter of what value a used part is worth. There is shipping and if we are not buying to resell, then there is a holding cost. I suspect that the market is best at setting the price point (classifieds?) With an extra segment of shipping back to us, our cost is greater. The way to get the most for the used unit would be a direct sale to tbe 2nd user. The other option is that we raise the price to burry the codt of returned parts into the new part. I really dont like that option as it raises everyones cost. So open to imput to what you all think would be fair. |

I will be the one I guess. Give me your poor, your tattered. If you think I am being disrespectful, well, my grandparents did too.
