Guys I am sorry about the price of the calendars. Nothing I can do cause the Chevy Talk people didn't buy the required amount last year.

The printer wanted to sell at least 100 to continue the lower pricing. I believe something like 85 were sold. I can't blame the printer for wanting to make money off the number of calendars sold. 100 would have been $1,299.00. 85 was only $1104.15.

You may think what's a few hundred bucks? But I can't tell the printer what to do. I can find another printer, but I doubt the service will as good. I've done the online printer thing. What a royal pain in the Monte Carlo rear.
Unchangable service orders.
Hard to understand customer service.

And that's just stuff I remembered off the top of my head.

I've seen many calendars in the stores and malls. And a few on websites. I think $15.99 is a fair price. Of course when funds are tight, I understand people have to prioritize where money can be spent.

RJ, I think people are simply explaining why they aren't ordering right now. Not necessarily complaining about the price.

I should point out to everyone that the owners of the forum are not funding this. RJ is paying for this out of his pocket.

the price is good.

figure you pay 16$ or more for one out of a store and good luck finding a nice monte carlo calendar. also an extra incentive to get these if you were lucky enough to be put in it.

I wasn't trying to make it sound like I thought you guys were complaining about the price.

Just trying to give you a little background as to why the price is like it is.

I know how great all of you are.

I completely understand. When you are not a business doing this and have a to estimate how many of these you need it's not a big deal if one or two people don't follow up on their commitment to buy, but if a LOT don't you are in a bind.

I've been in the same boat planning things like this. I have a lot of appreciation for you're efforts and they are ALL volunteer!
