E32: who wants a cupholder made by Herb?

[shogun]

As Herb did not offer them the past months I have contacted him via his private email.
His reply:

Hello Erich,
Here is the situation with the cupholder. We made the mold and ran the initial quantity of parts. I sold the last of the parts about a month ago and the only way to sell more is if I have another molder make them for me. My cost for a limited number of parts is a bit over $1200. That means I'm out of pocket until I sell about 40 cupholders. If we can do that I'll have the parts made.

The cupholder price has been $29.95USD for the past several years, and seems to be reasonably well accepted. Shipping/handling has been $8.50 for US and Canada. To Europe and your area (Asia)the shipping cost is higher, but not a huge differential. As far as RHD is concerned, I think I should refrain from that option. Herb
-----------------
Additional info from my side: that cupholder does not fit on consoles which have the holder for ASC and/or EDC.
Fits on E34 and E32.
It fits, however, on center consoles for automatic transmissions and for manual gears/shifters.
Here are the pics how they look. Please post if any interest, then I will inform Herb and he has to decide to go ahead or not. I will link this post also on other boards. If he goes ahead, you can buy them on Ebay.

just got email from Herb:

Okay, you win!!!
It is going to take several weeks to get the mold sent out, have parts made, and then brought back in house for finishing.
I'll stay in touch with a timetable.
Thanks for your persistence
Herb

So stay tune, I will inform you when they are ready for sale. Thanks for your support
