October, 2010 Group Buy
August 26th, 2010
With the current amount of interest I have received, I should have enough people to submit a group buy in October. There are currently three people who have expressed interest in purchasing JDM parts so I will need at least two more to be able to submit an order. If you are interested in purchasing something, please send me an email for more information (thlin"at"lincorp.com).
Lincorp Update
August 5th, 2010
It has been some time since I updated this site so I have begun the process of completing this site, which i started over a year and a half ago.
Currently, the conditions for importing and selling parts from Japan have declined to the worst level I have ever experienced. The Yen is at an all time high making our hard earned US dollar virtually worthless in the land of the rising sun. I just checked and $1 US dollar is currently trading for 86 Yen. To give you an idea of the disparity in purchasing power, a typical 8 oz can of coke in the US costs around .65 cents from a vending machine. That same can of coke will cost you around 120 yen in Japan. Converted to dollars, that is roughly $1.40, over double the price.
Because of this and price increases by ebay and the post office, the cost of doing business has increased so much over the last year that Lincorp is no longer profitable. Therefore, I have made the hard decision to suspend sales for the time being until the market conditions improve well enough for my business to be worthwhile. In the meantime, I still purchase parts on a group buy like basis if five or more individuals are interested in purchasing parts.
Directions
- Contact me with the part you are interested in
- I will reply with availability and pricing
- You will need to paypal me in advance to purchase
- Once everyone in the group buy sends payment, I will order the parts
- In 2-3 weeks you will receive your part in the mail
