Posted: Tue Sep 16, 2008 7:46 pm Post subject: MODERN BUDDY BUTTONS ARE BACK! |
|
|
The wait is over! MB Buttons Series 2 Available NOW!
Series 2 includes member submissions! There were a few more which may make it into future series. Also, most of Series 1 is still available! (See following post.)
All proceeds from the sale of Buddy Buttons will go towards supporting the site and making more ModernBuddy stuff!
So here's how this is going to work:
Buttons are $1 each. Get 5 for $4. Get 6 for $5.
Want magnets instead of buttons? Add 25¢ for each magnet.
Then add $1 to each order for S&H
Yes, I know there's been a price hike. These were costing more to make and ship than I originally estimated. Also the old pricing confused a lot of people who sent in incomplete orders or over/underpaid.
Paypal your payment to ericalm@modernbuddy.com.
In the notes include your MB member name, real name, mailing address and the number for each button that you want (see below). If you want a combination of buttons & magnets, please be sure to indicate which should be which. No PayPal? PM me and we'll work something out.
Buttons are hand made at ModernBuddy.com World Headquarters in Los Angeles, CA. No animals are harmed in the making of Modern Buddy buttons. Because these are hand made, it may take us 10-14 days to produce and ship them.
These are 1" buttons, by the way, not those gauche 1.25" monstrosities you see the poseurs wearing.

I ordered and paid for mine in May and am still waiting for delivery.
Perhaps a word of caution is in order.

Beamster,
Sorry about this. As I stated in an email I sent to you, I never received a notice of payment from PayPal. This happened before, but since I had no communication from you about this until today I was totally unaware of the order. Check your email. I am making buttons this week and can either send what you ordered and some extras for your trouble or I will refund your money.
You could have at least tried to contact me and given me a day to respond before opening a PayPal dispute. Really unnecessary.

Got a refund.
Since you didn't recall the order, the dispute was the means to take you back to the transaction and show you that it was legit.

Ordered some new ones, I'm sad to see the "ITALIA" one discontinued, I was gonna replace mine since it was getting rusty from leaving it outside in the rain. Also, is there no white Stella because they're old or something? This kind of aggression towards whities will not stand man.
Anyways, thanks for putting these out! _________________ Go Team Buddy GOOOO!!!!

ha, well... ya see...
Really I haven't had time to check online-type stuff since I'm back in school & working at the same time. Fortunately I still ride my Bud e'ryday and we do group rides all the time! I'm trying to squeeze a little MB action in here and there, I didn't even know they continued on the scavenger hunt which I have really been missing... ah, good times.
Surprised to see someone noticed I've been scarce, rock on.  _________________ Go Team Buddy GOOOO!!!!

Any word on when these are shipping? I order back on the 16th, and haven't seen anything yet. I used to make buttons and know they can take a while to get processed.

They've all either shipped or will be out by the end of the week. Thanks to all for your patience. Everyone who's ordered to date is getting bonus buttons! _________________ Eric // Buddy Flickr group // LA Area Scooter Meetup Group

Yippee! My buttons came today -- and I got bonus ones, too.
The buttons are great, and I'm putting them on my jacket immediately.
Eric, you rock!

HORRAY!!!! Its about time USPS did something that didn't make me want to punch them in the face! I got my Buddy buttons today. Fantastic assortment this time by the way. Thanks for the bonus ones, now I can share (maybe, if I feel like it).
I really wish I had more time lately to hang around MB, I've been reading some of the threads from time to time, but haven't got a chance to add anything. I'm still a rockin' and a ridin', so if any P'cola peeps see me on the skreet, gimme a beep!
Thanks again, Eric for making these for everyone... or should I say, tell you under-paid Malasian sweatshop workers they're doing a great job!  _________________ Go Team Buddy GOOOO!!!!

Hey there!
I just found out about your forum yesterday, and was really happy to hear that there was an actual forum just for Buddy owners. I've had my Buddy 150 Pamplona since October, and it's just right for me. I'm going to be ordering a bunch of buttons from you, and am really excited!
