Here is the response I recieved from the seller pertaining to a group buy discount. The seller's store can be found here: http://stores.ebay.com/MATRIX-RACING-AFTERMARKET-PRODUCTS
"These lights are really new and seem to be selling well at it's current price. We've done some group buys in the past, but in our experience they never seem to work out well for us. Usually there are a few people who want them and we get presented with the offer that many people want them. We offer the discount and find that even fewer people wanted them and only a handful of people get them at a the lower price and we end up not making much.
I went to your forum to see if there was a discussion of these lights and see a few people feel the lights are overpriced. Unfortunately for us a distributor, we have to pay whatever the manufacturer charges. This manufacturer happens to be one of the most expensive light makers. They don't dump their stuff out at bargain basement prices as they feel there products are manufactured better (which they are), they give a 1 year warranty (where most companies give 30 days), they take chances on vehicles no else does, and it's costly to design and make them. It costs a minimum of $100k to make tail lights and also when it's ordered from the factory, they have to order a minimum of several thousand units spread across several months whether they sell them or not. So, it's not a small investment or risk, so they do wish to see a return for taking the risk of making them. They've done the same for some other vehicles that no one else has (like the Ford Taurus, FJ Cruiser, etc). So, they can command a premium as it's supply & demand. On our side, we have to buy them, take pictures (as they usually don't), advertise, stock them, and we have our own overhead we have to cover.
When we advertise things on ebay, we consider that a small group buy of sorts. The normal price of these is $339. We put them at $319 on our website (so it's less than retail), and then another $20 on ebay, so it's $40 off retail on ebay.
If there is a minimum of 10 people to buy (at the same time), we'll go to $269.99 which is 20% off retail."
EDIT: 5-12-08
HERE IS THE DEAL! $269.99 + Free Shipping!
You can contact us 866-628-7493 and mention the "Monte Carlo Forum Group Buy." We got a couple emails asking how to order. The easiest way is to call. We don't have our site setup to create a discount and give free shipping at the same time (we can do one or the other). So, we're doing something a little different for all of you.
If you want to speak to me directly, just ask for me. If I'm not available, anyone else can help. They should all know what's going on. If not, let me know.
Thanks,
Alex

they are willing to come down some for 10 folks witch is pretty good for those 10.
I fi had the cash i would do it. but like i said i was workign on a set for my car anyway and have time and money invested in them also.
Well with luck i will get a set later.
