The Arima Owners.com Decals are in! 
They come in White (great for truck or Arima windows),
Black or
Dark Blue (best for light backgrounds or your Arima hull). All three are 2 3/8" tall by 10 1/2" wide. The letters and graphics are individual components. There isn't any background. The material is UV protected vinyl and should last around 5 years in the sun.
Cost: $6 each. A review of the costs is at the end of this post. If you order more than three, the additional decals run $4 each. All proceeds will be applied first to the purchase of the decals and the rest to the costs associated with running this site.
Payment Methods: I can invoice you via Paypal which allows you to use a credit card or your Paypal account or you can send me a check. My preference is Paypal.
Ordering: To order your decals, send me a PM with your name and how many you want of each color. Include your email address, mailing address and preferred payment method. I will email a Paypal invoice to you. If you prefer to pay by check, I will email my address to you so that you can send a check. When I receive your payment, I will mail the decals.
Shipping: Upon receipt of payment, the decals will be shipped via first class mail. Card stock will be added to each envelope to protect the decal from getting crumpled. If you received a damaged decal, let me know and I will send out replacements. I do expect some loss but the cost of making the packaging damage proof is too much.
120 decals was $270. Envelopes and card stock for damage protection were $27. Paypal charges are about $0.40 for each transaction and postage is $0.64. Getting them into Canada is $1.08 but that added cost will be absorbed in the margin. I estimate 3 decals per purchase on average. That puts the total cost for the 120 decals at $330.
At $6 each, we need to sell 55 decals to break even on decal costs. If we sell all 120 decals, there will be approximately $330 that will go towards web site and domain costs. That's way more than we need but I only expect to sell 70 or so in the first year. I will likely send one or two out to each of the Arima Dealers and the Arima Factory to help get our web site advertised right at the selling point. I see that as a win-win because this forum definitely helps sells Arimas.
Hosting runs about $5/mo but we need to buy 3 years ahead ($5 x 36 = $180) to get that price and then figure $12 per year for domain names (we have two for $72/3 yrs). There's also a software upgrade that will cost about $50. A balance sheet will be posted on occasion so that everything is in the open. If sales are better than expected, we will find a way to spread the excess; possibly through a raffle of an Arima item or two.
