AD: Rose Otto, Turkish ( damascena) Sale - 2008 Crop ** Ends 14 Sep 08

[Guest guest]

Howdy y'all,

Lemme start by saying that any responses to this advertisement must

be made off list.

Secondly, y'all are about to get a brand new new definition of what a

Quick Buy is. ;-)

Some of you might be surprised to see that I am still above snakes ..

though I have monitored the list for a long time its been a while

since I posted but y'all have not asked for any of the type of

information I normally post on .. that is .. safe use of EO and

such. ;-)

After 19+ years in Turkey, last summer we moved and settled down on a

homestead in Paris, TN .. near Kentucky Lake. We are now big time

into Organic Vegetable and Herb farming but my company in land is

still alive and well .. and many of the list members here are regular

customers.

Below is an Ad that was sent to 3 News Groups (Aromatherapy and

Perfumery) and to a list of customers whose addresses I had filed

from previous offers. Because I had not been a regular poster on

the group for some time now I requested permission from the List Mom

() to send this ad last Wednesday but my post was eaten by a

Cyber Monster .. I sent it agaion and she granted my request .. so

here it is.

The Cut Off for this buy has been .. Midnight tonight .. Friday, 12

September 2008. However, my producer has given me an extension on it

because we will be doing a partial cash transfer today .. the rest we

will send on Monday morning.

SO .. the cut off for you folks is High Noon Sunday .. 14 September

2008.

Hydrosols: Before anyone asks .. we are still Out of Stock of all

Hydrosols. I expect to get a new supply soon from the 2008 harvest

and distillation.

I will notify all those who are on the Back Order list when they are

in hand.

As for Rose Hydrosol .. unfortunately, all of the Turkish Rose

Hydrosol produced this year was sold in country .. they are selling

it to the retail stores in Turkey.

I have been able to get none .. if I find some I will notify all.

Have a nice day tomorrow .. and y'all keep smiling. :-)

Butch

***************************************

Those of you who have been waiting patiently for news on the 2008

crop can rejoice .. or cry .. depending on how you want to look at

it. Rejoice that you can get some and at the prices I am offering,

or cry about the prices ,, but that will do no good because they will

never be lower. ;-)

The last bulk sale I made for Rose products was on 10 April 2008 ..

lots of you folks purchased the Rose Absolute I offered then and I

GAR-AN-TEE that there is not one person who purchased who was not

satisfied.

This sale is for Hydro-Steam Distilled Rose Otto .. NOT .. Solvent

Extracted Rose Absolute!

Over the years I have offered many buys on Turkish Rose Otto and Rose

Absolute .. and those of you who have known me since 1995 know that

if I say it is a quality product .. that means it is a quality

product!

As was the case for the 2007 crop, the 2008 crop (in both Turkey and

Bulgaria) also produced less Rose Otto than expected. What can be

expected is that there will be a shortage again this year .. so folks

who wait will either get none or they will be forced to later

purchase the remaining meager stocks for much higher prices.

I have access to Turkish Rose Otto, 2008 Crop .. from the same

Turkish producer I have used since 1995. He is a real pro who has a

few millions of dollars tied up in his business and he is the person

I have chosen to provide the " what for " to support a Canadian

government financed Rose production project in Afghanistan. He will

accompany me to Kabul in November.

Before you buy from me .. shop Around: A Kilogram of Pure and High

Quality Turkish Rose Otto .. from any source you can find .. will be

from $700 to $800 MORE than what I am offering below .. but I am not

trying to get rich from these sales .. plus I have purchased a few

hundreds of kilos of Rose products from my source(s) over the years

and we are friends .. plus they know that I am a valuable

distributor .. so I do get some breaks. ;-)

The below prices are much lower than those that will be listed on my

Wholesale link following this sale. How can I offer it for less now?

Because the fixed costs of export are the same for 1 gram or 100

kilograms .. and the costs for transportation and then processing and

duties in the U.S.A. and forward shipment to my company in land

do not increase all that much based on volume.

First .. let me say that you have a number of options ..

(1) You can buy a lower quality .. lower priced Rose Otto .. like

Russian. Caveat Emptor!

(2) You can buy a lower quality .. higher priced Rose Otto .. like

Chinese or Indian.

(3) You can buy an equal quality .. higher priced Rose Otto .. like

Bulgarian.

(4) You can just do without Rose Otto now .. and in the future if you

are waiting for lower prices.

(5) You can buy mine now! ;-)

If you can find better quality for a lower price than what I am

offering below .. buy it .. if you can't (and I know you can't) then

let me know off line and I will add you to the buyer's list.

Any buyer may request a copy of the analysis and it will be provided.

The amount you want to purchase must be locked in NOT LATER THAN HIGH

NOON, Sunday, 14 September 2008. Sorry about the short notice but

as I stated above, its actually an extension .. and it is the best I

can do.

That is TWO + days from today!!!!!!!!!!

There can be NO EXTENSIONS for this order. Based on past experience,

I forecast that the product will be in my hand within 16-18 days from

the date of my order .. maybe more or less depending on the speed of

processing by the bureaucrats at both Turkish and American Customs.

For planning purposes .. keep in mind that:

One Kilogram is 2.2046 pounds .......... this is weight.

One Avoir Ounce is 28.35 grams ......... this is weight.

One Fluid Ounce is 29.57 milliliters ... this is volume so it depends

on density of the oil.

Prices and sizes for this offer are as follows .. please do not ask

for sizes other than those shown .. the Rose Otto comes in cans as

per below and my folks will not be able to break them down for this

order. I will have smaller amounts on my Wholesale and Retail links

later but the cost per gram will necessarily be much higher.

25 grams .... $ 270.00 ...... roughly .88 ounces

50 grams .... $ 520.00 ...... roughly 1.76 ounces

100 grams ... $ 940.00 ...... roughly 3.53 ounces

250 grams ... $2,200.00 ..... roughly 8.82 ounces

500 grams ... $4,200.00 ..... roughly 17.63 ounces

1 kilogram .. $8,200.00 ..... roughly 35.27 ounces

Those who wish to get in on this buy can contact me at ..

ButchOwen@... .. or .. ButchOwen@...

As has ALWAYS been the case with my Rose Product offers .. I must pay

Cash up front and I must protect myself. I can not order based on

a " promise " because Stuff Happens and sometimes folks find that they

can no longer take what they committed to take .. that would result

in me being stuck with more product than I want.

Accordingly, and as has ALWAYS been the case .. I must require a

FIFTY PERCENT (50%) down payment for this Special Order .. the

remainder .. plus actual shipping cost .. to be paid the day the

order is shipped to you from my company, Appalachian Valley Natural

Products (Anatolian Treasures) in Downtown Friendsville, land ..

population 597.

Payment options for this short term buy are Pay Pal or all Credit

Cards except NOT American Express. No time to wait for checks or

money orders.

Following every Special Buy I have offered since 1995, folks have

come along AFTER the cut off and asked to buy product .. their

reasons for being late are almost always valid and I feel for them

but I am generally not able to accommodate. Please do not be angry

with me if this happens .. contrary to what some folks think .. I am

not really a Troll. ;-)

AGAIN, I GUARANTEE that these prices are lower than anyone out and

about now .. even lower than the untested oils offered by some

clearing houses. They are also lower than the prices you will later

see on my Wholesale site.

I recommend that prior to contacting me, you shop around and see what

others are asking for this product. I can't imagine a better

marketing position for me than asking folks to do that first.

I also recommend that you not wait too long to do this. ;-)

The list owner is not responsible for any claims made in this or any

other list advertisements, nor does she profit from any list

advertisements; all product claims and information contained in this

list advertisement are factual and made in good faith. I give my

word that these provisions are applicable in this case and I always

Y'all have a good one .. and keep smiling. :-)
