I already PM'd you about this. In case you didn't get it, if you have any left, I'll take one right now. Just let me know how you accept payment. Thanks.

after the colorado people get theirs, what u have left should be put on ebay bc there would be a lot of fighting for it, but on ebay the price would skyrocket, so you could do a buy it now for 1000 and first to see it wins

Gentlemen, a word of caution. While I am a tremendous fan of the V1 SC (see sig), it is worthwhile to mention a few things.
If the facts here are true as stated, this price represents about one-third of what the shop paid for the kit (i.e., about $3000). Warning bells should go off when you hear about a deal that seems to be too good to be true.
Keep in mind how much the install will cost you. If you are not handy enough to DIY, you will want to find someone qualified and/or experienced with installing this kit. Even experienced shops have run into problems installing them.
If you are buying a kit from a shop that is out of business, you will have little or no recourse if the kit is incomplete, defective, or otherwise irritating to you. This is not a dig against the shop, friends of the owners or previous customers that have posted previously in this thread but it is a fact of doing business.
Also, V1 kits, while less-problematic than V2 kits, will need some attention/maintenance in the future. Be prepared to hunt down parts and support yourself in the future.
Stillen is not exactly playing nice with it's customers and resellers these days and if you are forced to deal with them at any point, they might make you sad. Just do a forum search on 'Stillen' and see what kind of feedback has been posted here.
Buyer beware. But, if all works out as expected, then enjoy! You can't beat boost.

Guys, Guys, take it easy....
C'mon, just think if this makes any sense. What performance shop is going to stock 5 supercharger kits for a Maxima at one time???? That's like $15000 worth of product that will move at 1/100th the speed of Civic exhausts. I doubt Stillen has many more than 5 complete kits right now. And if the remote chance this place did stock 5 kits, don't you think we would have heard of them?
These kits retail for around $3500 (the S/C alone is worth $1700). Again, I can't imagine anyone with the financial wherewithall to buy 5 kits would be dumb enough to "blow them out" for $700, $800 or whatever.
I hate to be so down on this thread (I'd like one myself!), but it seems totally ridiculous. I'd proceed with extreme caution.
I hope no one takes this personally, but you have to admit, it sounds like a fairy tale.....

is this just the Supercharger and not the complete kit? That makes more sense, if the SC is worth $1700 and they are selling it for $1000, then it does if the Full kit is worth $3500 and they are selling it at $1000. Just in case it is just the Super Charger and not the full kit, can the kit be purchased seperately and for how much?
...bet cha you guys wished you lived in Co...Maybe we all wont buy one on sunday..and there will be some left for you...HAHA

SB97MAX, correct me if im wrong but he doesnt have the SC's in stock does he? I waited a week for mine to be ordered and he said it came from Texas. I think he just has connections, I dont think he actually has them in stock. Again Correct me if I am wrong. Oh well im happy I ordered mine from him and am happy to say that not only did I get it but he also installed it and did a great job. Later

The price for the SC has gone up to $1500 due to the excessive demand for the 5 SC's. The people who will be at the Colorado meet on sunday will have first dibs. Any left overs will be sold to the first ones who replied to SB97MAX about them. Neither SB97 nor myself has control over the price of these SC's, we are the "middle men"(if you will) connecting the buyers(you guys) with the seller. We will make no money for doing this. These are complete kits for V1 Stillen Superchargers. They are new and in unopened boxes. They are not at any one shop, but rather at several ones and will be shipped to those who are lucky enough to order one.

We'll have to wait it out. I was informed today that I was one of the first people to contact him, so I could get one. I'm just waiting to see if anyone in the CO meet actually gets one to find out if this is legit. So far, he's been really good about responding to all emails. But this deal does seem too good to be true, so we'll just have to see.

I'm not really sure how the non-CO people were supposed to get them anyway??? I e-mailed numerous times that I was interested in at least 1. All I ever got back was, cash only, do you want the details! I would then say yes and then I would get a response of we only take cash. I would say thats great, how do you want it? Do I need to hand deliver it? can I wire it? but I just kept getting the same type of responses, never the details. So, out of curiosity, what were the details for the non-CO people? Did it need to be hand delivered?
and, as far as being bugged to much, you kind of brought it on yourself. If you would have gave out some type of list as to who was in 1st-10th to get what was left over after the CO boys got there's, you would have had a lot less confusion and therefore pestering! Good luck CO with the purchases, I hope you enjoy them. Oh ya, what if they still all don't get sold this weekend?

I live in Denver, where did you get your SC, too bad you already ordered it because I know a guy in CO that can get a pretty good deal on them. Good Luck and Enjoy!!!!! Later

Alright I want one
In my eyes a deal is good until proven bad.. So lets rock this what do I have to do fly out? Is this a personal sale? What about paypal that is almost as good as cash or is the cash deal for IRS reasons. As for sending plain old cash wester union is the best way. Also I got family in CO does that count..
No bull man if this is real I got the money and I am ready to go..
Email me give me a phone number or something I will work it out with you / him.. What does he want for them?
Thanks
