By the way.  Just to be clear, when you specify how many filters I assume you are specifying how many "pairs", as in two individual filter pieces making one "pair" for your earphones.  JUST to be clear.

Yay, I did not know that they are "pairs".  Resend pm.  Please disregard the first pm.  Sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem. Yes, if anyone requests 2 red filters that means you will be getting 4 individual filter pieces. It takes a set (2 filter pieces) to use your earphones . So the requests should be for how many sets you want.

If you need to revise your request please put "revised" in the subject like tbmusic did.

Regarding the filter group buy...
 
Please private message me with the following specific information formatted as closely as possible to my example.  Please note that if you don't include all of this information I can't guarantee you will be included in the purchase.  I don't mean to be picky, but this will make my life a lot easier.
 
Private message subject:
   "Filter Request: username color1 xx color2 xx color3 xx"
   (username being your head-fi username, color1 being the first filter color requested, xx being the number of filters of that color.)
   For example: "Filter Request: luisdent red 2 green 4 orange 1" would be for 2 red filters, 4 green filters and 1 orange filter being requested by luisdent
 
Private message body:
   Your Name
   Your Shipping Address
   Your Paypal email address for payment invoice
 
 
   First color of filter requested  xx (xx being number of filters of that color)
   Second color of filter requested  xx
   Third, fourth, etc.
 
Once I start receiving all of these I'll post back with an updated list for verification and more information on payments and timeframe.  Start messaging!

 
So far I have the following requests:
 

 23t23dS   red 4 green 4 orange 2 gnarlsagan  red 3 groovyd  red 3 orange 3 green 3 meat01  red 2 green 2 tbmusic red 2 green 1 orange 1 zowki  red 4 orange 4

 
How about Friday will be the last day for requests?  See if we can get a few more people who might have missed the post by then.  I'll send out paypal invoices asap after receiving PMs.  I'll order the filters Friday or the next soonest day the payments have all been received.  It should take a few days to receive them, and I'll mail them out as soon as I can.
 
Please double check this list and if let me know if there are any mistakes.  Remember that these are the number of "pairs" of filters you are requesting.

Apparently paypal has fees for just receiving money, even though I'm not selling anything.  Lame.
 
We have two options people.
 
1)  I send an official invoice, which technically is safer (I can't screw you over as easily) and you pay for the paypal fees for your filter request.  The fees are $.30 + 2.9% of the total money sent.  That would probably be somewhere between $0.40 and $.70 extra for most people (i'll calculate this for each request, no worries).  I have no problem with this method.  It can provide people with peace of mind.
 
2)  I email you my paypal address, and you send me money as a personal "gift" in paypal.  This is generally more frowned upon in terms of safety.  However, in this instance the money being sent is pretty small, and I would hope I have a decent enough reputation (albeit small) that I could be trusted no to steal your few dollars.  This (as far as I understand) wouldn't incur any fees.
 
This is up to each person I suppose.  Just let me know in the private message conversation you sent me which method you prefer, and I'll email an invoice or my paypal address for the gift transfer.
 
...Thank you paypal and ebay for monopolizing the internet money market.

 

[luisdent]

Also, I'll send the final invoices and my paypal address for any gift transfers friday night once I stop taking requests.  That way I can calculate the prices correctly.  If we get more people it changes the price of the filters, as they get cheaper the more you buy.  Not much, but just to be precise.

Ugh.  Bad news.
 
Green filters are completely out of stock right now.  They are on order though. Claims sept. 19th for shipping.  The other colors are fine.

I've emailed them already asking if they have a definite estimated arrival time.  Hopefully, I'll receive a response by friday.  We can then determine how we want to proceed with the greens.  Let's hope they get them soon!
 
I can still order them and simply send them out to everyone when I get them, but you may have to wait longer to get all your filters.  But let's see what happens in the next two days before jumping to conclusions...

I'll hold off on my decision about the greens until you receive solid info, but the lead time does say 6 weeks...

Yes.  So if people don't mind waiting that long to receive their filters (i don't want to ship multiple times to everyone) then that's cool.  Maybe, just maybe, they'll say they're arriving earlier than that.  We'll see.  I would expect it's probably fairly accurate though.

Yeah, I'm willing to bet the customer service rep will just repeat what's on the product page.

They use the same BA as Etymotic, don't they?

I believe so, but the housing, sound port, etc. are much different. They're much more sensitive as well.
