******************Origionally Post by Black Betty *****************

Please email/ pm/ talk to Black Betty-- not me (Petar7408) Thanks

I will post everything in one big post so there is no confusion. But to sum it up REALLY quick...

Regular size ZIppo lighter.
"Black Ice" chrome style (chrome lighter with a black see through coating)
Teckademics Tuned logo with large ching pao etched on the front face
First 50 for group buy, second 50 to be sold in the store
$27 shipped...not too awful, but a few bucks more than I was hoping...about $5 more than your usual lighter plus $2-$3 for shipping. USPS Priority Mail with insurance.
Anything additional...will be additional...well, duh!

I will post where to send your $$ soon. Delivery is gonna be sometime in mid to late October. The orders are gonna be taken through October 1st. They will hit the store just in time for the Christmas rush!

Limited run of 100. Unless someone wants more done.

Just PM me or email me at cbigley@tribweb.com with your Real Name, Screen Name, Shipping Address, quantity needed and when to expect payment. I am gonna try to make this as least complicated as possible for everyone involved. So if you said, yeah I will take one in this or other threads, please PM or email me so I know for sure. If you wanna make a list via this thread, go for it so I can re-referance from it. But the list I am gonna go from will be my own.

Any questions, problems or whatever, please feel free to ask. This is gonna be great I can all ready tell.

Email me for the quickest response and your confirmation #. I am accepting Postal money orders. That way if steal your money, you can get the government involved!

As far as the age limit goes, I guess we are safe. Zippo is not selling them to you, I am. I am the one making the personal transaction so I think we are safe. If you are skeptical, get the lighter sent to someone who is 18 or sent a letter from your parents saying it is ok with them that I sell you the lighter with your MO.

16 lighters sold so far. Keep the emails coming.

BTW, I *tried* to set up an return email system that would give you your confirmation # automatically, but that crapped out soon after set up so I have to do it myself from now on. If you emailed and didn't get a confirmation #, email me again! I am sorry for the glitch.

Make sure you put "Teck lighter" or something similar in the subject line too so it doesn't go through the spam filter.

18 lighters sold in less than a week. Keep them orders coming! When we get 40, I will place the order (I am buying 10 myself...) So, when we hit 40 lighters or October 1st, whichever comes first. Tell your friends!

Buy one and sell it on ebay.

Buy one and give it away to your favorite Teckie for christmas.

Buy one and give it to Dado and Dustin to sign at a Teck event!

Buy 2 because one is not enough!

I definitely one of these, possibly even two. Not sure yet, though. It would've been sweet if I could get it before the Dream Cruise so Dustin and Dado could sign it for me. But I guess I could always mail it to them and bug them for their autographs. :D

Thanks for doing this!!

That is the style of lighter. And this is the logo that is gonna be on it.

I have a question for anyone who knows...I have an order for 3 that are gonna be going to Austrailia. WTF do I need to know to get them there safely. What is the best shipping? What would it cost? Any help would be great. Email me as my PM box is getting over run!

Are we waiting for Black Betty to order them, or are we sending in money right now??

Just making sure.

Black Betty
08-03-2005, 02:46 PM
Send the money as soon as you as you can. I can't place the order until I have at least 40 or so more paid orders. It is a group buy.

nihlist4963
08-03-2005, 03:24 PM
I got my confirmation email and I was wondering if it the Money Order had to be a Postal Money Order or can it just be a regular Money Order mailed to the proper address.

Black Betty
08-03-2005, 03:58 PM
I would prefer a Postal money order only because you are safer with them. If for some reason I don't return your money in the event of the group buy NOT going through (at this pace, it isn't gonna happen!) you can get the government involved and I can get tossed in federal "pound me in the ass" prison for mail fraud. But if you are the trusting type, and you shoud be...I have not given you a reason not to be. I have had many wonderful transactions via Neons.Org for the past 5 or so years, you can go with your regular store bought one. They are like 49 cents at Walmart or something like that. The ones I use are only 59 cents at the local supermarket down from where I work here. But, USPS MO are like 90 cents.

Just hang onto your stub, is all.

I have nothing but confidence in my fellow Teckies. I mean, if you can't put together $27 for a kick ass collectable that will undoubtably DOUBLE in value once Mischief 6 comes out. Where is Dustin? I want someone to see if he will put a pic of it in Mischief 6 in the photo section or have a few frames of someone holding it. Watch them FLY out of the Teck East store then.

Nik sent cash (in a taped up, stickers to help keep it shut, paper inside as to not let anyone see what was inside, hard as hell to get into envelope) so, yeah. But I prefer a money order because that way we are both covered if it gets lost or stolen.

If you have not sent me an email with your order, please do so. That way I can get your confirmation number to you ASAP.

just tryin to get some more teck stuff to add to the collection!!!!

Black Betty
08-09-2005, 08:56 PM
The only reason I still have those stickers is because they are white. My old car was white so I never used them. I only have a few of them. If I had anything Teck related to toss into each of the orders, I would! But, my exclusive Teck stuff is gonna get sold as a lot on Ebay when I grow out of this whole thing and buy a Camry and/or a Liberty to take my kid to soccer practice and dance class.

But, yeah...so...

Almost half way there! Ask your friends to buy one or pick up 2 for yourself. Don't be pissed when they sell out and you didn't get one. I am sure that collectors are gonna snatch these up when they find them. Would make a great piece to have signed at a Teck event.

Black Betty
08-10-2005, 05:07 PM
BTW, these questions have come up...

How many can I order? As many as you like! Discount shipping on more than 1 lighter.

What if I order like 5 lighters? Buy 5, get 2 engraved on the other side, free (I will toss that in just to get the orders moving along)

International Shipping? Add $15 for shipping costs. IF for some reason it is less, I will refund the difference in US funds. I am very fair and am only charging shipping costs that I have to pay.

how many lighters have been sold already? I know some people may have ordered more then 1 lighter. And how many have been paid for outta the one that were ordered?

I know i havent sent my money yet, im slacking. Might hold off though incase i gotta purchase a few more to get the ball rolling here. When you get 50 sold, the order will be processed right?

how many lighters have been sold already? I know some people may have ordered more then 1 lighter. And how many have been paid for outta the one that were ordered?

I know i havent sent my money yet, im slacking. Might hold off though incase i gotta purchase a few more to get the ball rolling here. When you get 50 sold, the order will be processed right?

As of this morning...29 lighters have been "ordered"

5 (five) have been paid for...there might be more $$$ in my mail box, but I didn't get to the Post Office today because the baby needed too much attention.

There is a possible 30th lighter, but I have to confirm that. All PMs replied to and emails as well. I was off yesterday so I didn't get online.

Yes, when we have 50 paid lighters (including my own orders, they are getting ordered. Figure about a 2 week turnaround, then I will pick them up and ship them out!

We are very, very close to the goal. Get your friends in on this. I think I have 5 more sold just via friends. They gotta pony up first, but it is all good.

88red951
08-16-2005, 05:32 PM
5 have been paid for, or 5 people have paid?

Black Betty
08-16-2005, 06:16 PM
5 lighters have been paid for...plus the free one I have to pay for myself for Vader for doing this, plus my own order, which will vary depending on how many of my friends buy...

So, if you wanna get technical, 5 have been paid for, plus Vader and my own "freebies" which technically are not freebies. So, I need 43 more PAID ones to go...or so...

Black Betty
08-19-2005, 02:59 PM
I understand why you are upset, but this is how a group buy works. I tried to explain everything up front and in as much detail as possible. I also said that I would accept payment through October 1st. So, there are alot of procrastinators or just plain broke folk that don't wanna send someone they don't know their hard earned cash for something that will evntually materialize sometime down the road. I understand...but "good things come to those who wait." I'll tell you what. If you are disappointed in your purchase, I will find someone else to buy it from you. I can't take returns for obvious reasons, but I will do my best to help you sell it for at least what you bought it for.

08-19-2005, 03:48 PM

Well, we had 1 person so far order and then bow out. So, technically, there are 17 spots still left and 40 that still need to be paid for as of 8-20-05 @ 9am when I checked my mail box.

No, the lighters will not be numbered themselves, other than the stamping that comes from Zippo. They have a special code for year and date they were made on the bottom, but they will not be numbered or plaqued like an 80's Shelby Dodge or anything...ha!

Black Betty
08-29-2005, 01:40 PM
BTW, not having an edit feature SUCKS! So anyway...I got 1 more payment this morning. Wow...1in more than 2 weeks. October 1st is the deadline to get your dollars in. After that, I am refunding all the money and quitting this stuff until I can put up my own $$ around tax time. No, I don't have PayPal set up for this. Zippo wants a cashiers check, not a PayPal transfer. So, actual dollars is best!

This is Nik's Dad, Come on guys...pay up. Nik sent me money from a Ferrari part out when he first ordered. Why can't you guys just leave him alone and pay up to Betty so Nik can get his lighter? Thanks...

If you guys like, please whore these things out to your other car sites. Someone might be a Teck fan and want to burn something in style. Or maybe they are just collectors of Zippos. I really want to get this to go through. I would HATE HATE HATE to refund everyone's money. But I will. I have even kept your original envelopes to make sure safe return. I am not going to deposit any more or even open any more Teck Zippo letters until I know this is gonna go through.

Email returned. You are #033.

That means we have only 15 more lighters left to go. With something like 10 paid for. Remember, cheap(er) shipping on multiple lighters. Buy 5, get one free! How's that? One dude has all ready bought 3 (and I have to refund you like $6 or $7 too for your shipping costs going down for multiple lighters.)

Come on! We need to sell only 15 more! FIF'teen!

Hmmz, I would like one. How much would it cost shipped to Estonia and how can I pay? Can't use paypal etc...

Black Betty
09-02-2005, 08:05 PM
Add $10 for international shipping. Anything extra I will cover. If it goes under, I will refund your $$. Seem fair?

US dollars is all I can accept, really. Can you get a money order in US dollars? Or I can accept USD cash.

That goes for the Austrailian blokes who asked about ordering 3 lighters before. Add $10 for any number of lighters (5 or more, email me and I will get a better quote!) and I will get them to you. Same rules apply. Over that? I will eat the cost. Under that? I will refund your money. I just wanna be safe. It should not be that much.
