Fender Tag lottery

[MorePwr]

Brian (Konigcharger) found a lot of Charger fender tags on Ebay... http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,20616.0.html

I am proposing a group buy of these tags. Lets get them registered and back to their cars, if any are still living

My plan is to buy the tags and redistribute them to participating DC.Com members, who then can register their tag and post here what model, year, color, etc Charger (tag) they ended up with. maybe a coolest car vote afterwards?

I would redistribute the tags Lottery style,with the help of other local members (any volunteers?) no one is going to know what tag they are getting.

Participation will cost around two bucks per person for one tag, assuming I can get the tags for around a hundred dollars and that I can mail them with a stamp or two..I am Not looking to make a cent or spend much on this. the exact cost will be determined by the outcome of the bidding and mailing back to you.

This will be first come first serve.. their are 60 tags

i'm in....sounds kinda cool

[twilt]

Your not going to score that lot for around $100 

[terrible one]

I'm in, as long as it doesn't get to a crazy high price.

[Chris G.]

No offense dude, but giving out the tags to anyone that sends you $2.50 sounds like a not so great idea.

Like I said in the other post, if I bid on these tags, they will all be documented and all information posted here and if we get a match, the tag gets sent to the owner at no charge. The one's that we don't get matched up (which I'm assuming is most), will get sent to the proper registry or stored in a safe place.

That's just my take on it. I will probably bid, but I'm not going to go overboard on this. Fender tags are extremely important to many people. Just handing them out to any random person is not what I would do.

I'd just send the tags to the respective registries and let them sort them out. If you go posting all the VINs and fender tag pictures, what stops someone from copying the image and having their own duplicate tag made, or from claiming they have the car with the VIN from the tag?

The one flaw Chris is that you aren't too serious about getting them.. to some jag off out there, these tags are worth a great deal of money in resale value. I assure you, that guy is going to outbid you, if you are allready choking at a hundred dollars.....What then?...Who knows, maybe we'll see them at the swapmeets?

As far as"handing them out to any random person" Bandit72, No longer a registered user, terrible one, how do you guys feel about that? I believe people from this board that were willing to participate would have treated the tags with all the respect due them! and probably would have donated them back to a safe resting place once one had been determined I was kinda hoping there was a Charger museum somewhere that they could have been displayed at. with their story.

Since this group buy has been effectively shut down..Nobody wants to argue with a moderator
I sincerely hope you guys get them

i was figuring after we registered our tag and did the "coolest car" we were going to work on getting them back to the "rightful owners" anyway....thats what i was planning on. I don't really have a need for another tag anyway (as i already have mind ) basically it sounds to me just like getting all the tags registered and getting them returned just with kind of an "imaginary car show" using the tag you get.....

oh well...

later

[Chris G.]

The one flaw Chris is that you aren't too serious about getting them..

Really? How do you know how serious I am? There's a good chance the seller is a member on this board or someone he knows. Did you want me to publicly say I would drop a grand on them? (which I wouldn't)

If you want to bid on them go ahead. Do your lottery thing as well.

ps- Moderators are people too. Argue, agree and confront them all you want. They love it.  

[BigBlockSam]

i think they'll go for $300---$400 range but you never know with ebay. Chris if you are definitely going after them i will stay out of the auction. Rene

[Shakey]

If you see "Shakey The Tag Guy" bidding - you better be prepared to dig deep if you want these babies!   

I'm gonna buy 'em all, paint them all F6 and weld them to the inner fenders of my car.   

I figure I can get 30 on each side.  Then when I go to a show, I'll put a napkin from McDonalds over my dash VIN and let the    begin.   

[MorePwr]

Right you are Chris, My appologies. I was thinking of  another post on Brians thread that stated a benjamin was too much for the tags.. I dont know what you consider "going overboard" I too didn't want to state my limit, I just figured that with a large group of folks backing me, that we would have much more dough to throw at the bid than any one individual would want to. guess I'm wrong there. you seem pretty darn intent on getting these yourself.

If your not trying to hinder a group buy, what are you doing here posting negatively about it...You allready stated your intent on the other thread and so did I...I got it, thank you. This was intended to be a sign up thread.

I agree, but thats still only 5.00- 7.00 Dollars per tag.  seems reasonable to me. I'll stay out also. go for it dude!

[Chris G.]

Damn, $400? That's some serious coin for a bunch of tags. Rene, if you want to go for it, I say do it. Just send me the '70 tags buddy old pal. 

I want these tags so I can do the right thing with them (that doesn't mean others won't), but I certainly don't want anyone to not bid because I want them. I'm sure there are others here that would also like to pick them up.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Thats way too much coin for me as well...sadly though the tags will probably end up in the "wrong hands"

[konigcharger]

300-400  is a lot of cash for any one to spend on these and more than any one person has to spend

how about this i think if you could buy blocks say $20 per
so say 20 people each chip in $20 thats $400 (but you could buy multipule blocks)
the person who wins them writes down the vin # sends it to their respective registry and keeps a list of who has what
then the tags would be randomly dispersed based on how many blocks you own

I hope you guys are just joking, and do intend to get the tags......otherwise

[Chargerguy74]

I'll buy every Canadian 3rd gen tag if the high bidder here is willing to sell. Let me know. There are a lot of cars missing tags.

Ok so Whats The Deal?

Is ANYBODY on this board bidding?

I dont want to stupidly start bidding against somebody here.

Please let me know or Im going to start bidding.

[Chris G.]

Up over $260 now. They also switched over to the secure bidder system so we can't se who's bidding. Looks like someone wants something out of that lot real bad.

topduarte, If you don't mind my asking, what are your plans for them if you win?

It sounds like members will be going against members on this item. I'm sure it's not the first time this has happened on ebay.

I plan to give, (yes give) to the owners of these vehicles which is slim and also give the info to the respected registeries.  I gave a list of 200 1st gen charger to fastback jon a few years back.

I plan to make a collage mounted on the ones that I cannot find the prosepective owners to these tags.

I am not going to have them retagged on other vehicles.  Never

I hope you don't think that's why I asked. I certainly didn't want my post to insinuate that.

It's over $350 now. That a heck of an expensive wall collage.

I never thought of that.  It is now at $410.  I am going to do one more bid with a minute left today.

[Charger_Fan]

Geez, for how high the bidding's going, there must be a 6-pak or HEMI tag in the bunch.

get this one too...lol..

Now that guy sucks! Obviously, it's still attached to a car, why is the jerk just selling the VIN & fender tag for someone to "collect"?
