Hi All.

Gobert23 just posted an idea I've been thinking about for a while.

It seems most of us are buying part willy nilly from the states and asia for out scoots, and sometimes getting stung for packaging.

I wanted to get a Rad Cover from Password, but the shipping was as much as the cover

What are peoples thoughts on a group purchase of stuff, Bowls, Password, etc. or anyone want anything in the coming weeks, that we can get as a collective?

Think this is a great idea... Could have a thread for each shop and do a single order at the each month...

All i need now is some money...

Im doing a big bowls purchase next month - anyone want in, let me know

i wana try and get my shock next month from bowls if its in stock can we twos up? may be after other things but depends on the £ situation

Right made this thread a sticky as its a great idea.

Im cool for anyone to jump in on the order BUT we would have to agree how the items would be collected/exchanged.

true, could paypal be an option (before order processed) then have pick up collection? i dont mind coming to pick it up even wait till the next meet to collect? also split the delivary and custom tax sounds good

feel free to use my work as a delivery address. i can mail things from there for free.

^ sneaky skillet thief at work! ahaha

srsly, if any of you want to do a group buy, it will be no problem for me at all to ship things out to you, for free, from my work.

just let me know.

Hi, im well up for this!

Im after extension kit and fatty kit

Plus loads more

What do i need to do next guys? whats the plan for paying, collection etc...

i imagine it should go something like this:

1: work out where you want to buy your stuff from (nb: the gokobuto fatty kit from bowls comes with a pre fabbed engine hanger/extension)

2: let everyone know that you are ordering a bunch of stuff from across the pond if anyone else wants in.

3: place order.

then if lots of people jump on your order you can either:

A: get the order shipped to you, pay the import tax, divvy the payment up between however many people were in on the order, post everyones stuff out.

B: same as above, but if the order is sent to my work, i will send it out to everyone gratis and you can all save a few quid on postage.
obviously i'll get stung with paying the import tax but i'll divvy it up evenly and whoever was in on the order can paypal me back.

yeah, it probly does sound a bit dodgy, as (jokingly i hope) pointed out by wyatt, but i'm a good guy and have only offered to do this to help you lot out. it's up to you i guess. tbh i couldn't care if you do it or not. i'm not doing it for money and i can afford to sort out my own shit, but if i can help save a few quid for others then i will.

a good way round import tax is to have the store you buy from label the package as a 'gift' with a value under 20 pounds (i think... you'll have to chekt on the uk customs site the actual amount) and you MIGHT get round the import tax, which can get pretty silly on big orders. HOWEVER in doing this, the package won't be worth it's actual worth, if you see what i mean, so if shit does get lost, then you'll be fucked.

however, in years of buying expensive shit from overseas i've never had one item go missing in transit.

Think for some reason, my post was taking out of context there. Mr Skillet is a top bloke and can be trusted with your stuff... I was only taking the piss..

^this is right.

sorry andy, didn't mean to snap at ya. you're a good lad really! (feel the bromance?!)

so, ja, if this happens and i can help anyone out, just let me know.

cool man if you could sort out the posting that would be sweet, we could always order a little present for you from the shop we get the order with to say thanks

there's not a lot i want/need at the minute, but that's a kind offer. essentially, just keep me in the loop if you're all going to do a group buy and we can take it from there.
