    </TD></TR><TR><TD id=EC_itemTitle title="">It's been several months since Mountain House stopped taking new orders from dealers on their canned foods. They were being socked in with orders from all over the country at a pace five times their previous high.

    Now, we can announce that Safecastle has been given permission to start taking orders again, effective immediately. Note that Mountain House food is now being produced at record levels, and the company has maximized production capabilities. They have worked through their backlog and are in the prcess of fast building a stockpile for ongoing demand.

    Get It Now

    As we've learned over the last several years, we cannot take for granted the availability of food of any kind in our just-in-time system. In particular, in an era of rising food prices, long-term storage food is becoming more recognized as not only a hedge against crisis, but an investment that pays off in financial terms as well.

    Thus, we expect the demand for Mountain House food to remain very strong. Of course, if and when another major disaster happens, many more folks will again come to realize the need for this kind of critical disaster deterrent.

    Prices

    For something like seven years, Mountain House prices went unchanged early in this decade. But then, the world turned.

    Now supplier, production, and transportation costs are escalating steadily. Mountain House has had to try to keep up and now has a policy of updating prices twice a year. (Hint--prices are not adjusting downward.)

    So, while the good news is that the food is available again at today's still-reasonable prices ... that means they are definitely not listed at yesterday's prices.

    Most significantly for the Safecastle Royal Buyers Club--Oregon Freeze Dry, the producer of Mountain House food, has mandated dealer participation in a strict new pricing agreement. For us, that means we are not permitted to permanently offer discounts on Mountain House canned foods (pouches remain discounted). We WILL be allowed to offer members up to three short-duration sales in the course of a year, and we will certainly do that.

    But be advised that from here on out, there can be no standard member discount on the cans. That fact is posted prominently on each of the MH can listings.

    The Premier Prep Food in the World

    Mountain House freeze dried food is universally recognized as the premier emergency preparedness and outdoor/adventure food in the world. Safecastle is proud to have been re-confirmed as a Mountain House dealer, and we will work with Oregon Freeze Dry to provide our members and customers full satisfaction on every transaction.

    Stay safe!

    Re: Mountain House Interest-Free Financing; Fast Shipping

    For Everyone--Buyers Club Member or Not!

    This Offer is for Our Two Mountain House Volume Packages Listed in Our eBay Store, Only till October 30



    Mountain House cans are once again available after several months of the factory working through towering backlogs of orders.


    We also notified you that their new pricing policy requires us to NOT apply member discounts to our Mountain House listings. However, we do continue to ship those orders free anywhere in the continental U.S.


    Financing! No Payments Till 2009!


    We are working on ways to further maximize the value we can offer you with your Safecastle Mountain House purchases. We expect to be making other great offers in the future.


    But right now, we can extend this offer to everyone (U.S. residents)--NO PAYMENTS, NO INTEREST UNTIL 2009, when you make a Mountain House package purchase on our eBay site.


    See:


    48 Mountain House #10-cans




    210 Mountain House #10-cans



    This offer requires applying for the eBay MasterCard and is good for your first eBay purchase over $50 using that card. (See offer details below.) To apply for the card, click on the eBay MasterCard link on the qualifying listing (under the "Buy It Now" button) or click here.


    Offer details:



    Thinking about applying for an eBay MasterCard? Great! Here's how the application process works...
    When you apply, you will first be considered for an eBay MasterCard, which can be used anywhere MasterCard is accepted. If you don't qualify for an eBay MasterCard, you will then be considered for a PayPal Buyer Credit account, which can be used on-eBay and anywhere PayPal is accepted.
    If you are approved for an eBay MasterCard between September 3, 2008 - October 30, 2008, and spend $50 or more on eBay, in a single transaction, you won"t need to make any monthly payments or pay any interest for 4 months if the promotional balance is paid in full within 4 months. This offer only applies to your first, single purchase made on-eBay over $50 (the total transaction amount will receive the financing promotion) made between September 3, 2008 - October 30, 2008, using your new eBay MasterCard as the source of funds through your PayPal account. All purchases are subject to credit approval.
    Under this promotion, no monthly payments are required on the promotional purchase and no interest will be assessed on the promotional purchase as long as:
    (1) You pay the promotional purchase amount in full by the end of the promotional period, (2) you pay, when due, the minimum monthly payments on any other balances on your account, and (3) you pay any optional Debt Cancellation charges related to the promotional transaction in full by the end of the promotional period. If you fail to satisfy these conditions, all promotional terms may be terminated and interest may be assessed on the promotional balance amount from the date of purchase. This offer does not apply to non-eBay purchases.
    Standard account terms apply to non-promotional purchases and, after the promotion expiries, to your promotional purchase. This offer will be terminated and the Delinquency Rate may apply if you fail to make a minimum payment when due, you exceed your credit limit or cash advance limit, or you make a payment to us that is not honored by your bank. As of July 1, 2008, variable APRs are 12.24%, 15.24%, 18.24% and 21.24%. Variable delinquency APR is 29.24%. Minimum finance charge is $1.00 USD. See your credit card agreement for standard terms.
    If you qualify and are approved for a PayPal Buyer Credit Account between September 3, 2008 -- October 30, 2008, and spend more than $50 on-eBay, in a single transaction, you are also eligible to make no payments for up to 4 months and will pay no interest if paid in full within 4 months. This offer only applies to your first, single purchase made on-eBay, between September 3, 2008 - October 30, 2008, using your PayPal Buyer Credit Account as the source of funds through your PayPal account. All purchases are subject to credit approval.
    Under this promotion, no monthly payments are required on the promotional purchase and no interest will be assessed on the promotional purchase as long as:
    (1) You pay the promotional purchase amount in full by the end of the promotional period, (2) you pay, when due, the minimum monthly payments on any other balances on your account, and (3) you pay any optional Debt Cancellation charges related to the promotional transaction in full by the end of the promotional period. If you fail to satisfy these conditions, all promotional terms may be terminated and interest may be assessed on the promotional balance amount from the date of purchase. This offer does not apply to non-eBay purchases.
    Standard account terms apply to non-promotional Purchases and, after the promotion expires, to your promotional purchase. This offer will be terminated and the Delinquency Rate may apply if any required minimum payment is not made when due two times in any six consecutive billing periods. Once the delinquency rate is in effect, standard account terms will apply if the minimum payment is made when due for six consecutive billing periods. As of July 1, 2008, variable APR is 20.80%. Variable delinquency APR is 24.75%. Minimum finance charge is $1.00 USD. See your credit card agreement for standard terms.
    Financing is only available to U.S. residents over 18 years of age. Subject to credit approval by GE Money Bank.
    This card is issued by GE Money Bank pursuant to a license by MasterCard International Incorporated.



    BTW, we've still got a few hardcover copies left of "World Made By Hand" by James Kunstler that we'll send to any buyer of these packages, while supplies last (one copy per customer).


    Stay safe!

    Significant additional twist:

    <TR><TD style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)"><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD></TD><TD id=Title style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)">A Mountain House 8-Case Buy Gets You a $120 Voucher; a 35-Case Buy Gets You $500!

    These Safecastle Vouchers are Good for Any Subsequent Purchase in Our Store Except on Mountain House Cans

    </TD></TR><TR><TD id=itemTitle>As you know by now, Mountain House cans are again available and shipping promptly. You also are aware that the manufacturer's new pricing policy forced us to restrict our selling prices and eliminate member discounts on those can-case listings.

    Member Vouchers!

    So we are introducing a new member incentive for volume Mountain House can purchases.

    Now, when a buyers club member buys an 8-case Mountain House can package, we will issue the buyer a $120 Safecastle Voucher good for any subsequent buyers club store purchase other than Mountain House cans.

    A member purchase of a 35-case MH can package earns a $500 Voucher good for a subsequent store purchase other than Mountain House cans.

    See: 30-Year Cans in our buyers club store.


    And still...

    --Through October 30, if you buy one of our MH packages in our eBay store, you can apply for the eBay MasterCard and get no payments no interest on your purchase (see the store for details). AND, if you are a buyers club member, I will still issue you the applicable Safecastle Voucher described above. (Please use the eBay store ONLY if you need that financing offer, as each sale there costs us a lot of money.)

    --We still have a few copies of World Made By Hand that are shipping free for qualifying member purchases of at least $170, or to new paid members. They will disappear in a matter of days now.


    These are crazy times for sure. Prep like you mean it and stay safe!
