Thanks for setting this up Ray, I just got off the phone with Robert. Between this and my Bendpak 4 post I should be set for almost any job!

Ray - Any chance they'll offer a similar deal on the upcoming 5000 lb version?
Later,

Don't know but you can always ask Robert if you can "pre-order" one.Originally Posted by Gumball

I asked Robert about this and here is his response....
"The 5000 is still essentially in prototype-phase. We are letting the public know it is coming, but it is still being designed. As it is a newer lift I will not be permitted to sell below MRP for the lift. If he still wants to talk to me or ask me any questions I will be very eager to speak with him."

Did Robert give any ball-park pricing on what the 5000 version might cost?
I didn't ask but he's available for questions...

I've sent an e-mail asking.

I was told when I ordered that they would be shipped in mid-April. It sounded like it was a done-deal, not that Robert was waiting for us to hit a minimum number.

Here is Robert's reply to my e-mail:
"Yes the group-buy was successful with 11 confirmed orders! Time is running out though for any ‘last minute-ers’ though, as I will have to cut the discount as soon as the bulk amount begins shipping. I have not yet been instructed to halt the discount for people still wanting to join the group-buy (and am going to avoid bringing up that topic with my bosses) so as of now it is still open. When I get instructed to cease and desist I will let you know.
As far as when the orders are going to be ready to ship; the back-order date is still around April 18th. I will keep a watch over all the Forum members orders to ensure everything transitions smoothly and as quick as possible."
So it looks like we are looking at a mid to late April shipping.
If you know of anyone on the fence and waiting to order, as Robert says "time is running out...." so let them know.

I should have mine before I leave for HB!!!!!!!!!!

A note to those who are planning on track use... the std lift comes with AC powered hydraulic pump. A 12V DC pump is optional (@ $500 approx.) I arranged for mine to come with the DC pump VS the AC one. I figured that when I'm at home I always have a battery available and I can bring it with me when I go to an autocross or track day.

I talked with Robert this morning and he re-confirmed the April 18th ship date.
Just ordered mine with Robert and he said sale would be ending Friday or Saturday of this week.......
Mine shipped on 4/22 and should arrive today, 4/28.
I didn't get anything in my inbox yet!

Wow, I thought I was one of the first guys to call to order one of these...
I called today to check status and they did say they are trying to ship about 15 a day. However mine has NOT shipped yet and they think it will ship within the next few days. I may have it next week. They must have sold a TON of these...
My credit card card was charged yesterday. It won't get here in time. I've had this weekend blocked off for over a month to drop the front suspension out of my Miata. Damn - I really wanted to use the lift NOT jack stands.

Mine arrived in two shipments, one yesterday and the second today....
