Maybe because one can be sure this unit will most likely fail because of the capacitors in it sooner or later...  If one doesn't get it on a group buy it will cost considerably more money.  Also I am betting that if one never used it they could always sell it to some other poor soul who needs it.  Maybe even you!!!...haha...J/K...

I submitted a RFO (Request for Quote) with Ignitech , and they promised me an invoice tomorrow. The units will be factory fresh, they well be assembled/manufactured next week.  When I receive the Pro-Forma Invoice with the factory pricing, I will email and PM all interested CXer's WHO POSTED THEIR INTEREST TO THIS THREAD.  So, if your email address is not up to date, update it, if you never check you PM's (Click "Forums" then "Private Messages" at the top of the page to read your private CX board mail box.)  I will be using the contact boxes at the bottom of your posts on this thread to contact you. I will ask that you please WAIT for my email/PM to you before contacting me, all or most of your questions and concerns will be answered by then.  Until I hear back from Ignitech, if you read this far, you have all the information I have about pricing/delivery etc. . The buy is still OPEN, I will post the final price per unit to this thread when I have one,  so anyone who has been sitting on the fence, waiting for a price or came to this thread late can still participate.  I will try and keep this open for as long as possible, usually up until two days before the confirmed shipping date of the manufacturer. 1978 CX500 - I live on a one-way street that's also a dead end.

As of this posting, I have contacted everyone who posted with interest in this buy via PM and E-mail.  If you do not have an email or a PM from me yet, you are NOT included in the group buy.  Get in touch with me ASAP if you're interested or post here. The delivered to your door in the USA via insured Priority Mail this time around will be: U$155 a unit.  That’s U$8 cheaper a unit than the last group purchase, even though shipping and local taxes have gone up since then.  They will also be throwing in a brand new harness connector for the bike if you want to make it 1000% connection and replace your 25+ year old connector as part of the update.   US Customs has let the units through with no duties or hassles in the past, hopefully it’ll continue that way. Canadians-you get the same price, priority mail included BUT, there is NO INSURANCE TO CANADA for small package Priority Mail.  There have been 4 Canuck buyers on previous group buys who didn’t opt for the insurance,they all received their packages (albeit with some delay in one case.)  If you want it insured to Canada, it will cost an extra U$35.  Up to you, if there is a delay or whatever,  there is absolutely nothing I can do unless you opt for the insurance coverage, you won’t even get simple tracking.  Other 4N'ers outside the US and Canada, send me your address and I'll get you a shipping quote before you commit to the buy. 1978 CX500 - I live on a one-way street that's also a dead end.

Don't forget to include your CC user name in the subject or in the message somewhere, otherwise I have no way of matching up your user name with your real name and email address.  Do include your address if you're going to use PayPal, it does not send your physical address with payment notification.
