2010 Monitor Group Buy (through Mitchomagic) - The arrangement

[ckong]

I made this fresh topic so we can concentrate on the monitor group buy.

So,

- we have someone who is willing to collect the monitors and get them to the South coast of England (near Portsmouth) > Rav  
- we have two guys who volunteer to pick them up at Rav's place > André and Pieter  
- if needed we have a storage room in Rotterdam  
- we have a van > falcon NL  

Now we only need to take care of the following issues:

1. What is the price per monitor when they will be picked up at Rav's?
2. Definitve commitment from people (numbers), so Rav knows how many he has to pick up for us
3. Payment of monitors (when and to whom), I suppose in advance
4. A van and date to pick them up. Maybe we need to rent a van, better not though.
5. Distribute the monitors further on mainland Europe

Let's devote this topic only to the group buy.

Price details (follow soon I hope)

Purchase price at Mitch's contact in Ireland - € 150

Transport costs to Rav's place - aprroximately € 10 - € 15 (depending on the number of monitors)

Transport costs from Rav's place to mainland Europe - €

Makes a total per monitor of  €

Please mention your interest (again) in this topic, I will collect them in the following list.

This is the list, with numbers, of people who have committed themself to buy monitors from Mitch's contact:

ckong (Erik) - 5  3  PAID
gyruss (Pieter) - 1  PAID
Level42 (André) - 3  PAID
Atarimania (Franck) - 4  PAID
Ravage - 5  PAID
Speleo_de (Andreas) - 5
falcon NL (Floris) - 1  PAID
Thwocker (Marco) - 4  PAID
hatster (Kev) - 5  PAID
chrischris - 2  PAID

Total number of monitors defintely confirmed (up to now):
Mainland Europe: 28
UK:                           5

I suppose that people are able to participate until Rav is able to pick them up, or until payment has to be made. Or until there are no monitors left.    The only one still missing from the other thread is Brry71 who expressed interest for 2 monitors. I suppose it is pretty safe to calculate him in, but to be sure I did send him a PM earlier today.

Free monitors (10 available):

Welcome Andreas, and of course you are allowed to join. The more the better. Most people know you of course, but some maybe not. Perhaps a little introduction here: https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?board=3.0 ?


OK, back on topic. Total number of monitors now is 26.

Ully is very interested in the used monitors, which are free of charge. Is there more interest? Oh, the monitors are free of charge, but shipping is not of course. I suggest to divide all extra costs equally over the monitors, so each free monitor will bear the same transport costs as the other monitors.

[Superully]

shipping? isn't rav going to pick the monitors up? if we can't find anyone to pick them up from rav's place, i could hire that van again i used for my first england roadtrip and pick them up personally. could drop them off in belgium for example or take a detour to the netherlands. the rest i'd take with me for myself and andreas. of course, we would have to share costs. just a suggestion in case we can't get anything else to work! school holidays are approaching fast, then i have a lot of time on my hands

[ckong]

shipping? ......

...........of course, we would have to share costs.

That is what I meant. Rav will make costs for us and there will be costs involved picking up the monitors at Rav's place and bring them to mainland Europe. So all extra costs besides the purchase price should be divided equally over all monitors, including the free monitors.

For example: if we buy 21 monitors for mainland europe and bring along 10 free monitors, Rav will have to transport 31 monitors for us to his place. This will cost him X. Then someone (you, or André and Gyruss) will have to pick them up and bring them somewhere on mainland Europe (fi. Rotterdam). This will cost Y (gas, perhaps van hire, chunnel fair, beverage etc.)

The additional (transport) costs per monitor will then be (X+Y)/31. Anyway, that's how I would calculate it.
