monthly budget poll

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

okay, it's getting down to crunch time. let's start voting on what our monthly purchase goal should be so we can finally determine what the monthly "dues" are going to be.

remember that you have to add $3.85 to your dues to cover shipping. unless you'd like for me to use regular mail (it would work out great for everyone that is in texas, I would imagine).

Are we still assuming a 12 man membership?

$1000 per month = 83.33 + shipping
$850 per month = 70.83 + shipping

 

[scottsins]

at 12 ppl, I gotta go with the $850 budget. Do you think we'll be alright at that level???

I will likely make this my designated cigar budget, since I should be alright until Opus X's come out again.

p.s.---do you think we should ever take advantage of sales on the bbs's that are for larger quantities???

Give an example.

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

we'll go with $850, since I haven't heard from anyone else.

850-1000 is fine with me. how many cigars would we get each on average?

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

depends on how much each box is, mack. but we'll probably be averaging 8 cigars total per month. if anyone is looking to get more than that, they are more than welcome to purchase more than one "share"

 

[Viper139]

I would like to join at the $850 level. That share would fit into my cigar budget just fine.

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

yep, it's been decided we are going to hold it at $850. we'll occassionally bump it up for "special" buys, such as december or something. or maybe when we can get a hold of custom rolled cigars.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So, remid me; at $850, what is one "share?"

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

evil -- at $850 it's $70 plus shipping per share. we are going to leave it at 12 shares for now. that'll get you 2 cigars from each box. I think we are going to have monthly drawings for the 25th cigars from each box or something.

as we grow in membership we'll look into expanding the active buyers. but for now it's easier to recruit 12 buyers than 25. and you'll also get more cigars per month this way.
