Update on the surcharge: One of Gary’s recent customers reports that Gary’s current surcharge is 30% for inflation plus 15% for shipping & handling—total is 45%. Gary Goers’ catalog, order form and old price list may be viewed at: http://www.garygoers.com/ Gary’s stuff is still a bargain. We all hope the business can be taken over soon by a new owner with passion and skills and patience similar to Gary’s. Rich Barber Brentwood, CA (Smoky but no fires real close. Pray for those whose lives have been taken or devastated by the fires –and, especially for the firefighters and caregivers.) From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of 'Rich Barber' c300@xxxxxxx [Chrysler300] I discussed the issue of continuity of his business with Gary about a month ago. He is willing and able to accept and (slowly) fill orders for the small stuff he has in stock. But he is not encouraging this—preferring to use his remaining strength and mobility for cleaning up loose ends and taking inventory of a barn full of small and valuable parts to facilitate the sale of his business. He realizes the demand will continue, that his love and dedication for the work, the hobby and we hobbyists will prevail and that he will continue to accept and fill orders until he says “Cease”. He has not said that yet. He has said he appreciates the cards, letters and prayers that helped get him through the long and painful amputation process. To make his work easier, use his order blank and price sheet, add 25% for inflation & shipping and mail the order to him. Include some words of encouragement. Rich Barber Brentwood, CA (Fires around us but not real near) From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of 'Ron Waters' ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300] Does he still have inventory, or has he stopped selling altogether ? Ron From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of 'Gary Nelson' gnelson@xxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300] Hi All, Just spoke to Gary Goers. He is doing better, infections under control. He is winding down and talked about someone that may take over his business. He cannot handle upholstery any longer, that is the end of a long run for our club. He disconnected his fax, only way to reach him is by USPS. Sad day for a long run from a GREAT guy. Take Care, Gary . __._,_.___ Posted by: "Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx> To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or go to https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/all/manage/edit For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/search.htm#querylang __,_._,___ |
