This is a poll to see how many people would be interested in buying autonerdz stickers to go on your toolbox, laptop, frig, etc.. Tom will probably be making some dependent on demand.

Yeah, I would be keen..
What I would really love to see is an Autonerdz Hoodie.. It's starting to get cold over here!

I'll take 3 to start - - - at least. -Ward-

We were going to do some laptop skins...But the whole size variation thing was too discouraging.  So many different laptop sizes and then each size is different depending on the brand.  So...we kinda shelved that whole idea.

But Ben got us thinking about this again and we will be doing a variation of the laptop skin idea.  More of a sticker you can put most anywhere.  Maybe a small and a larger one, keeping it simple.   ;)

More on this soon as it develops.  They will be stickers you can peel off so they will not damage tool boxes, or PCs if you want to remove them.

I'm in...

Go for it. Maybe some type of iron on to go with it. That way Rod can put it on his hoodie. [smiley=laughing1.gif] [smiley=laughing1.gif]

I'll take 3

Sticker would be nice however I would like a black flag with the Nerdz in white maybe 18" X 12". Then I can hang it outside for all to see [smiley=smiley-dance013.gif]

We thought those would be awesome too and actually looked into it.  Stupidly expensive.   :(

Sticker would be nice !!!  [smiley=smileys-winner-131838.gif]

Hello Tom,

Would the price be over $25 to $50 range?

That (at least for me) would not be too much of an advertising cost considering how long it would last  [smiley=2cents.gif]

Sort of like a "Jolly Rodger" with the crossed bones under the Autonerdz logo? Yar, I be interested in one

Looks good is that magnetic  :question

Nice

Tom Hardaway wrote on Jun 12^th, 2012 at 3:41pm:

No.  It's a vinyl laptop skin sticker material.  Sticks well but is also removable.   ;)

We ordered a bunch of these.  We intend to offer these at our cost.

Tom,

put me down for some, 3 to start if you have enough to go around.

It seems the lucky number is 3 so put 3 aside for me to please Tom.
They look great.

Our initial order is for 100 of them so I think that should take care of it.  Should be easy now to get more on demand in a short time..

We will have some pricing for you soon.

I'll take 3 also.
-Ward-

I'll take two.

100 May have sounded good, but I intend to put em all over the place.  If I'm not too late I don't think I can live with less than 5, but I'll take what I can get. 

If I were at all artistic I would draw up a crossed Crescent Wrench and Hammer with the Caption "Mechanics Tool of Choice" beside Your Logo underscored by "PICOSCOPE"  with the caption "Today's Automotive Technicians Tool of Choice"

I'm pretty proud of the abilities you have afforded me and helped hone to my current "Limited Level" and will go to any extreme to publicize it.

Oh how do we order? "Direct Call", or will they be in the Store only?

RtOne wrote on Jun 14^th, 2012 at 5:32am:

"Direct Call", or will they be in the Store only?

Both, as soon as they are available.  Thank you all for your support.   [smiley=arms.gif]

I can see we will have to order some more of these sooner than we thought.

Our cost on each sticker is $8.50.  We think we will be able to ship them in the USA for about $2.  More for international.  If anyone wants to adjust their desired quantities, let us know.  We will sell them at cost.

The shipping cost will accomodate several stickers in the same envelope.

Tom,

I will take 3 when available.

I will call with new card number to make things easier.

dave

Dave,

We are going to look into the flag idea again too.  We'll start a different thread for that if we get anywhere with it.  Seeing if we can get the costs within reason.  Plan being black flag, white Autonerdz logo, maybe crossed wrenches under it for the jolly roger look.   [smiley=evilgrin.gif]

Tom, I have a friend who owns a sign shop that makes all types of stickers,political-municipal-ambulance.... just about anything. he is very fare. He is slow right now and I bet he would give you a very handsome deal . I allready spoke to him about this.  If you like I could have a sticker made and send it too you with his info..

Ya know all through this really perky, fun discussion, Only one that I read wanting these, even cared about or mentioned cost, and his idea of the value to him was extraordinary in light of the actual number. That tells me every one of us has so much respect for you and Brian that cost isn't a factor, our (MY) motivation is to let the world know the caliber of persons we are affiliated with, In my perspective "TOP SHELF QUALITY"

Tom since they are in such demand, If I could get two or three out of the first batch, then I'll gladly order again when the second set arrives. If you know an artist, think about my earlier rambling about the crossed crescent wrench and hammer, I would imagine Pico will allow use of their name for the advertising value. Try to let me know if this is a Taboo, otherwise I may just rustle some bushes, to see if I can get something put together to submit for approval. The thought of it kinda excites me.

You can have him contact me but the stickers are kind of a done deal now.....


RtOne wrote on Jun 14^th, 2012 at 4:06pm:

crescent wrench and hammer,

The stickers are finished. Personally, I like the simplicity of them.  Nice quality too.

Check out the flag discussion in the Open Forum.  We won't be using any lettering on these since the image comes through on the reverse side by design.  Brian found a couple of crossed wrenches but that's just a preliminary design.  May be room for improvement...

Very Cool guys! I would love to buy 3 also!

RtOne wrote on Jun 14^th, 2012 at 4:06pm:

  What about instead of hand tools something to do with scope accessories?  Maybe like an amp clamp, alligator clips, back probes, or something like that.  In my head the wrench and hammer would look better, but I just figured since we are geared towards LSD...

Oh noooo I wasn't suggesting a replacement, Those are PURRRRRFECT and I can't wait for them, only suggesting a shopping cart addition.  You've seen everything SO offers for toolbox adornment, them ain't free unless yor puttin $15 grand in their pocket a year. I feel that anyone that has sampled your style of Customer Support and taken advantage of the Training you offer, is going to be more than willing to let people (Customers) know that it's a whole new Ball Game in Fixen Carz. Heck I wanna yell it from the roof right now, but I've had a BEER.

Hi Preston, I'm not wanting to change or enhance anything in existence. What I had in mind (small and shallow I'm told) is one that reinforces what you and every member of this community, as an Automotive Diagnostician do, in relation to what a "mechanic" is capable of.  My resolve stems from the BYB's and Independents wanting their messes cleaned up, I really want our customers to know and understand the commitment we have made to this Craft and to their safety, by way of accomplishing a cost and time effective Proper and complete repair with a means of verification, besides a trip to AZ for another code read.  I just thought the average customer would relate a hammer and crescent wrench to "mechanic", and only suggested putting "PICOSCOPE" below the AutoNerdz Logo so they would Ask Whats a PICOSCOPE, because I love that conversation and a quick demo.  Heck the Smoke machine bewilders most of the Ole Boys.

I guess I should have been more clear, Insert "Other" before Independents.

By virtue of your affiliation with this group, "I doubt That".   Would you be so kind to translate the Latin'ish in your post script, just so I don't complete my time on earth wondering if you dislike Carburetors as much as I. Gosh when something carbed rolls in I jest wanna cry or puke ("Like" I'm So Over the Old School Mentality), just can't decide which to do so I Goober My hat over and dig in, with Donna Nipping at my heels.

Hello RtOne!
Not to worry, I know what you meant, I was just havin' some fun!
The latin(ish) signiture is roughly "Don't let the bastards wear you down".
I am old enough that I grew up with carburetors, my truck still has one, and the AMC Eagle my wife has and is just coming out of a 4 year restoration has a 258" inline six with a header, an aluminum intake with a Holley 390 CFM
4 barrel carburetor. I have no problems digging into my own carburetors, it is different at work because the customer of a vehicle that old does not want to pay what it costs to do a carb kit correctly, and if it needs one to fix it but you make any adjustments to
try to improve it you are now married to the damn thing.
The engine in my trusty '82 Dodge will be getting rebuilt in the spring, I plan to have a MegaSquirt system up and running for it. I like carburation for operating in the north and sparsely populated parts of the province for it's reliability and relative ease of field repair, but fuel injection has achieved a similar level of maturity. Plus I'm older now and don't venture as far afield as I used to. -Ward-

For stickers I have:

Ward - 3
Rod - 3
Mick - 3
Davey - 3
RtOne - 5
Bevatron - 2
Olando - 3
Mike F - ?

All but Mikes are on their way - USPS

Did I forget anyone? Any other takers?

I'll take 3 Brian...and maybe I'll even get your stuff in the mail this week!!!  So sorry.

No problem Preston, sounds like you've had a bit on your plate lately. Congratulations by the way.

3 going out to you today.

Superb, thanks!  Yes, been busy, the rest of the in-laws are leaving Tuesday  [smiley=dance.gif] [smiley=dance.gif] [smiley=dance.gif] [smiley=smiley-face-groupwave.gif] [smiley=ShotGun5.gif] [smiley=woohoo.gif] [smiley=woohoo.gif] [smiley=woohoo.gif]

I'll take 3 if that is ok with shipping.
Thank you Brain

I'll take 2 please. Thanks Brian

[smiley=smileys-winner-131838.gif] We all will benefit from these. The cause will continue to march forward down PICO St.

We put these up on the site yesterday but I can see the shopping cart is really screwing up the shipping calculations.

For those that have already ordered there, no worries.  We will fix that when we process it on Monday.

I have changed it now so it charges a flat $10.50 which includes US shipping. 

http://www.autonerdz.com/promostuff.htm

Glad to see so much interest in these, we’ll get them all shipped first thing Monday.

I'm going to use one as a background for inside an analog round wall clock, should be pretty sweet!
