My contact has agreed to offer us group pricing if we place our order together - price and discount information below. What I proposed to him is that I would collect the funds necessary, place a single order to be shipped directly to me, then handle the re-mailing to each person.  I'd charge actual postage necessary to mail whatever your order consists of - I'm not in it to make money personally (actually just to save a little money myself). Here's the pricing information: Size      Print Price 8.5 x 11   $18.00 each 11 x 17    $33.00 each 13 x 19    $45.00 each 16 x 20    $57.00 each 20 x 24    $84.00 each 24 x 36   $132.00 each 30 x 40   $174.00 each ...and the discount he offered: 1 print - Pricing above 2-10 prints  - 10% off each print 11-20 prints - 20% off each print 21-30 prints - 30% off each print The best part:  The group price is per PRINT not per exposure!  That means if 4 of us order all 5 exposures it is a 20% discount... not 4 orders of 5 photographs! I've told him I will leave this thread active for 2-weeks before placing the complete order - if you're interested let me know.  I'll contact each of you via PM to get order details and let you know about payment details.  Re-mailing costs would follow after but you can estimate for yourself what it would cost: re-mailing would be from 44146. He's left open the possibility of additional negotiation but I feel this offer is more than generous especially considering the quality of the photos.  Unless you're the only one trying for something along the lines of a 24 x 36 I don't plan to pester him further. And now the money shots: Raging Wolf Bobs Big Dipper (from over Auora Road) Wide Angle Beauty Shot (from south) Big Dipper (from over Geauga Lake) Wide Angle Beauty Shot (from north) _________________ Positions Held: Ancillary: Front Gate Photo (Cameras In Action) Games - Arcades/Coin Op Ancillary: Antique Photo (Kamman's Art Shoppes) Big Dipper Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNMH9Z8NMFc Last edited by BellaCroix on Sun Jun 29, 2008 11:49 pm; edited 1 time in total

I'm not sending out PMs just yet... I'll give it a couple days before I start sending out messages. Ohiocoasterman: the only available photos (as far as I know) are posted in the original thread.  While I wish I could have gotten more photos of different angles we have to deal with what we have available.  The photographer did not send me proofs (nor did I ask) so there's nothing I can send other than the links. Swadze: I can completely understand that, my girlfriend is giving me the same thing.  I just point out how many times she wished I was into something other than hockey, beer, and/or strippers.  Now she's okay with me spending a couple bucks on "history". Lights062393: Here's interest...

Is there a way to see if he has one of both sides of the lake showing? Possibly an older one from when it was Sea World and Geauga Lake? That I would LOVE to have.

Glad I'm not the only one... My Fiancee is threatening to call it all off!    (She grew up in Minneapolis, missed out on / too young for Excalibur Park, and ValleyFair isn't old enough to have these kinds of family attachments.) I would take one, but seeing Dominator either half-gone or in the parking lot, and Turtle Beach sitting empty.... If they have any from the early/mid 90's, I'm in.

I will let him post if he wants it. The more people the better, we would like to save as much money as possible.

I agree with dance2874, if we can get a shot that showed both sides of the lake, that would be sweet.  I would be interested depending on final price _________________ "What we do in life, echoes in eternity."

The photos were not taken as part of a contract job and he simply snapped off the shots while completing a fly-by on his way to an assignment. _________________ Positions Held: Ancillary: Front Gate Photo (Cameras In Action) Games - Arcades/Coin Op Ancillary: Antique Photo (Kamman's Art Shoppes) Big Dipper Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNMH9Z8NMFc
