Betty's Garage grounding kits: Vendor or not?

Hi there.

Some of you already know me from this forum, from myg37, or locally in the Houston area as the grounding kit guy. I've been a sponsoring vendor on myg37.com for a year now selling custom grounding kits for '08+ G37 coupe and '07+ sedan applications. I have developed and sold a few for the first generation G's as well, mostly to locals and a few to some of you here who have sought me out on myg37.

I'd like to know if there is sufficient interest in my products to justify the investment in my becoming a sponsoring vendor here on G35Driver.com. Please vote whether or not you have interest and would be likely to buy a grounding kit that is very well made, performs what it's supposed to perform, attractive, and reasonably priced. I am NOT selling anything here at this time so don't ask me. Just vote please. Even if you wouldn't be interested, please vote no. Thanks. Hope to see you all around a lot more very soon.

Jeremy

Thanks. Mustang5L5, I don't take it as harsh criticism at all, I asked for your feedback. I know there are tons of people who don't believe they do anything, I used to be the leader of that pack. No offense taken. And yes, if you have moderate skill, knowledge, and access to materials, you can make your own.

I didn't post this as a "do they work/don't they work" debate though, that's another thread. I want to know whether you'd have any interest in purchasing them or not so I can assess whether it's wise for me to become a paying sponsor or not.

Keep the votes coming guys!

Ah sorry. I didn't mean to start a debate. My apologies. Good luck in whatever you do.

Not a problem at all man, thanks for your candor. I just know how threads can take a turn very easily where you don't want them to.

It's a no-no. I asked Admin about the creation of this thread and said that I would not post any prices as it's not fair to paying sponsors of the site. I am a sponsor over on the sister forum MYG37.com and I wouldn't like it if someone who wasn't paying sponsor posted prices. I won't do it here out of respect.

It's just a poll to see what the market is and if it's worth me signing up as a sponsor here or not. I understand that your interest depends on price, if it was $5 everybody would buy it for the hell of it, if it was $5,000 you'd pass. It's in between those two.

Vote presuming that it is a reasonable price.

That's a discussion for a later time.
