2010 Monitor Group Buy (through Mitchomagic) - The arrangement

[jcp]

most honest way as discussed earlier: dividing all transport costs from the seller to Rav's place equally per transported monitor, so that everybody pays the same amount for a monitor

still don't think this is the most honest way!

Most of us do, so let democracy rule.

That's the common way to process in fact (price per monitor) .

Updated reply 2, Brry71 told me that he will, unfortunately, not participate.

Ully, you keep saying you don't mind, but you keep bringing it up so it's clear that you DO mind.

IMHO this was a discussed and passed station. I feel that by bringing it up again you are endangering the whole deal (I mean if I would be Rav or Mitch, I'd feel pretty uncertain about those mainland Europe guys who don't seem to agree even on these DETAILS.

Ully, this is a VERY RARE chance to get brand new Old Stock monitors. Don't endanger the deal please.

Of all the guys who spoke up, everyone seemed to agree with "our" plan. So far you are the only one with a different opinion.

Something else to consider ( in the spirit of this being a group-buy in the arcade scene ):

We are (hopefully) buying NOS monitors. That is: New OLD Stock. Old means that we _could_ have issues with some of them right out of the box. I don't say it is LIKELY, but it _is_ possible.

Wouldn't it be fair to reserve (some of) the free monitors for the unlucky fellows who end up with a non-working new monitor ? I do realize that not all of them are 19" and we also do not know the situation about these monitors, but there could be at least a couple working....

@andré: i simply brought this up again because of erik's remark with "most honest way" and if only 4 persons out of 10 - 12 speak their mind, i don't think that's the majority.

but, for the last time, if it's only a matter of a couple of euros, i don't care, because i don't want to endanger the monitor group buy! that's it!!!

It's like voting for a government, not everybody votes, but of the ones who do vote, the majority makes the call. 

Anyway, glad that this is out of the way. We now have a total of 36 monitors in this group buy, which is great. And I like André's idea about the reservation of the free monitors.

I hope that Mitch get back to us soon with prices and payment details, and that Rav is able to arrange transport (and inform us about the costs and the way he wants to be paid).

Mitch and Rav, it's up to you guys now.

Well, I didn't reply so far on this post because  I'm thinking like many of you here that it should be the same price per monitor for a such group order. More fair in a general way. No offense, just my humble opinion  Of course, it's up to the majority 

[atarimania]

I'm Ok also with the same shipping cost per monitor (even if it's not interesting for me with 4/5 monitors ). Now the most important thing is the monitor cost 

[speleo_de]

My vote : The same shipping cost per monitor

[mitchomagic]
