Great! Thanks again for doing this. Those turn around times sound reasonable, seems like in 2-4 months we should have them if all goes as planned.
Good call on having them made in the US, and in your area, better to pay more, but pay once.
Also, you might consider selling at least some outside of ebay, since the buy it now cost, the 3 % paypal fees will eat a little chunk of your earnings, unless you own stock in ebay or just don't care, an informal email order could be a bit more beneficial. Makes little difference to the buyer though.
Thanks for restoring the hope of this Polaris living again!

P.S. if someone still wants my Polaris, I may still be interested in a trade or sale, but maybe not...
