Hello everyone, evidently the company will not backup their wanting to work with me to create the Group Buy for their Avon tires. They told me to get a number on how many buyers/sets. I did and was amazed,...on how many that would be. I and a friend tried all we could to make a LOT of money for them and save US on a great tire, that is now $2,400 plus shipping.

The only way they would accept the Buy, is it all...the tires were going to ONE location, then we pick them up. Their explanation is this, it would take too much time to ship to 40 different address, which has a point, if we only had say, 10 etc. But, if my math is correct, the company stood to profit a lot of money and,...return buyers of over 40 to 45 people. With their 4 tire price of $2,400 (x) 40 sets is apx. $96,000. Then take off whatever percentage they would accept from 10% to even 25%, that could mean $72,000. How long do you think phone calls from us 40 or so people take in time, then to fill out the order and ship ?

I know when I had my business before retiring, if it took my office and shop employees 40 hours (one hr. per order, yes, that's a extreme projection) even if it made my company $10,000 in 40 hrs/5 days, hell yes,...I'd take the time ! lol They/we could move the numbers all over the place in details, I'm sure they would gain around $50,000. So what is their issue, please explain ?

I don't want to spend $2,400, plus shipping, mounting & balancing. That's near $3,000

Sorry guys, I thought I could do this for all of us. I spent a month trying, very hard, with nothing to show.
