Hello all and thanks for your interest.

Heres some figures for you;

Taco plate
£32 each for 1-4
£31 each for 5-9
£29 each for 10-24
£27 each for 25-49
£25 each for 50+

Tuna can
£45 each for 1-4
£43 each for 5-9
£41 each for 10-24
£39 each for 25-49
£36 each for 50+

Shipping
£8 for 1 Part
£2 for each additional part up to 10 parts
£1 for each additional part over 10 parts


As an example if you order 10 taco plates and have them shipped to the same address they will work out to £31.60 each including shipping, which is less than the £32 for just the part. Or better still if i can make 25 for you then they will be £28.64 each including shipping. But for 50 they work out to just £26.32 each includng shipping.

$$$$ - To give you an idea of the exchange rates -

£31.60 GBP (the shipped cost for each taco plate if ordering 10) will work out to appox $50 USD.

£26.32 GBP (the shipped cost for each taco plate if ordering 50) will work out to appox $40 USD.

Hope this helps, if you want more info/prices etc just let me know.

Cheers,
Neil

EDIT 1/22/13 - PRICE DROP ON TACO PLATES, NOW ONLY £27 each (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

As of Feb 1, the count on Taco Plates is 31, @ £27 (currently $42.75) each + shipping*

... and the count on Tuna Cans is now 45, @ £39 (currently $61.75) each + shipping*

* Not sure how the shipping thing will work yet. If a participant can accept a shipment for a group of buyers in your local area, shipping costs could be reduced a bit. I'd be willing to accept a shipment for the local Los Angeles/OC guys, then we can figure out how to redistribute them once they're here ...

If you're located somewhere else in the country, possibly you or another participant in your area can handle your local region too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Otherwise, it appears that shipping would to your individual address at the rates shown above.

Hey Jonesy, I asked for one of each item but it looks like I should have asked for gaskets for both as well. I would like both pieces in SILVER. How long are you running this group buy? I assume we wait till it's over and we have a total item count before pricing is finalized. Is this correct? I'm surprised there is not a group from the NorCal/SF Bay area. I'm assuming my items will ship directly to me. Will you be contacting all the buyers with totals when the group buy has ended?

For all who haven't followed the entire group buy thread -
Jonesy is the manufacturer of the taco plates and the tuna cans. He is in England.
However he isn't organizing this group buy.

Euro911 is behind the organization of this deal.
I offered to handle the logistics as well as sell the seal kits because I have the business infrastructure to do it efficiently.
Euro911 is keeping the list of participants updated on the first post of this thread.

He has posted that the deal closes on 1/31/2013.
At that time, I'll start collecting Paypal payments.

You will be expected to make two payments to me:
1) pay for the items you ordered using the Personal Payment option so I don't incur a fee for receiving the payment. I'll pm you the payment and paypal address.
2) pay for delivery and any gaskets you want, using a webpage link I will pm to you all at the appropriate time.

No one will know the exact price they are paying until the deal closes and I finalize the spreadsheet. Variables are the exchange rate and the number of items in the final Group Buy tally.

Feel free to organize a group shipping plan to the bay area or anywhere.
Just let us know what you come up with.
However, the savings for group shipping is only a few dollars so it may not provide a meaningful benefit.
