I bolded all of Brent's comments. Let me known how everyone would like to do this. I'm thinking in bulk. Let me know what you think so we can get these made asap. (When I said white and black outlines below I meant for everything to be in white or black.)

The big question is do we want one person to collect payment for a week then send payment to Brent for the decals? Once the decals are made this person can mail out the decals to everyone that ordered. The donation would be sent to person collecting money and he/she could send a check to Brent. The money you would be sending would cover: actual decal cost, postage, and a small donation to the board. Is this acceptable to everyone?

It would be easiest if this person would be Chris. Since he's admin/owner.

Damn... that's a big club!

That's a huge difference... unless they want the outline of the letters to
also be white then there is no difference. But, if it is wanted to have the
car white and the letters black then that doublely (is that a word? LOL!)
complicates the making of the decal and the amount of vinyl used. I
strongly suggest sticking with either a black or white background for the
car and letter outlines. In fact, this must be what you are talking about
because I personally think it would look "funny" to have the car white and
the letter outlines black

That decal 3" in height makes it nearly 12" wide. Is that cool?

Oh no... not for me. LOL! I'd have to deal with tons of different emails
from all those different people and then send out all those orders
separately. The shipping would be way way more than if I could just send
out a bulk order.

I can do it separately but it will be a little more expensive because of all
the extra time involved in the emails and the all the extra time it takes to
package that many decals separately vs sending them out in at least mostly a
bulk order. Setting up and sending out 75 packages takes way way more time
than sticking them all in a box and sending them to somebody Plus, the
postage for me goes way up too.

But, like I mentioned, I can do it separately but the price will be higher.

I could do that but it'll depend on if we decide to do a bulk order like I
suggested or order individually. Also, for the bulk order we don't even
have to do all 91 at once but like 20 or something at a time would still be
way better than me sending them out individually.

Also, I've been involved in group purchases type things before like this and
everyone always seems interested until it comes time to put up the money
then the interest cuts down in half. If it is decided to do these
individually instead of bulk, I don't want to make a bunch of these up (I'll
have to make a number of them at a time to keep the price low) and then have
a bunch left over. Do you think the people you have interested are pretty
serious and the risk of dropout is low?

Just to give you an idea, a single decal like this would be like $20 to $25.
For a bulk order like this the price would be $10 each if you guys handle
the $$$ and then just order it bulk from me. If you want to do it where
each person will contact me then I send them out individually to them, the
price would be $12 each because of all the extra time involved and the much
higher shipping costs for me (these won't fit in a regular envelope).

Let me know what you think! I've tried to give you guys as good as break as
I can but much lower than that and won't be worth it for me to do Each
of these is very time consuming to make because I have to manually "pick"
the vinyl out of all the letters and some letters like the "B" have two
"picks" each. LOL! I then have to overlay the two colors on top of either
the black or white backgrounds and take my time doing it so everything stays
aligned properly. Another example is there is more vinyl in just the
background color (forget about the red and blue) than in a rear CAMARO or
PONTIAC insert. I charge $8 for those and can make them in a few minutes
(big and easy) but it is going to take me way way longer to make these
because of all the picking and fine lines and multi colors.

Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks!
