Title: Sargent Seat Group Buy Post by: TJR178 on May 29, 2010, 02:11:55 AM Hi All,
I contacted Sargent this past week asking them about a group buy since I 1) can't find good deals on used ones, 2) keep missing the good deals on used ones. The following is what I was told. The terms for a group buy are: - 20 seats or more - Shipped to the same address - Billed to the same account, or paid for by check or money order This would be a PITA for me, as I would have to have all the seats shipped to me to send out. I'd have to charge minimum shipping though. So the the price for a 2000-2008 model year seat w/ black piping is $429. The new price would be $390, less shipping. I'll check and ask if I can get different model year seats in this group buy. Would anyone be interested in going in on this with me?

Anyway, thanks very much for making the effort and I hope they offer a better deal.

Agreed that the small savings doesn't mitigate the risk on your part. Anybody have input on how superior a Sargent is, comfort-wise on a long day, over the latest OEM Comfort Seat for the Monster? As I understand the family-jewels roasting gel is out. Title: Re: Sargent Seat Group Buy Post by: TJR178 on May 30, 2010, 02:17:26 AM Yeah, you guys are right. Probably would be a huge PITA. I guess 10% isn't the best deal anyway.
Oh, and the Sargents are amazing seevtsaab. Do a search on here and you'll see many a kudos for their product.
