2010 Monitor Group Buy (through Mitchomagic) - The arrangement

[Q*ris]

Is it too late to be part of this deal? 
Otherwise I'm up for two monitors...
If that's helping: I can easily borrow a mercedes vito (I'd remove the seats) and I'm totaly OK to drive to Holland and bring back a bunch of monitors in Belgium for anybody who would be interested. Let me know, thanks already!

[ckong]

Oeps, I totally forgot to PM you back chrischris, sorry for that.

the deal is in a (very) slow pace lately, don't know why. But if it still materializes, you can have two of mine, which leaves me three.

And your transport offer is great, thanks.

[Q*ris]

No problem, I have all the time. 
Just let me know if you need any transportation, I think I can fit at least 8 of these monitors in the van, hopefully more depending on the size of the boxes.
Thanks a lot for letting me have some of your monitors ckong!

[mitchomagic]

Ok girls and boys.

Have been talking to Rav,it looks like for him to come over and collect the monitors will cost to much.So I have recived a quote to get them delivered to him.the cost for the delivery is about 400euro,depending on the final number of monitors .The only downside to this is that he will not take any monitors that dont have boxes,so the free monitors are out,as i dont have boxes to suit 10 monitors.

So going forward with this I will have to collect the money and pay the opp,Rav wount be collecting the money as it is to much hassel with his bank to recive euro payments.

I have copied the list from the first post,so can all those listed please confirm how many monitors they want so I can make a final list and sort out cost etc

Monitor cost 150euro
Delivery 400ish devided on the final number of monitors delivered.

I have to get moving on this as I am away soon.When everbody has confirmed what they are getting,I will send each person a PM with payment details etc.

So roll up and state your claim 

ckong (Erik) - 5
gyruss (Pieter) - 1
DarthNuno (Bruno) - 1
Level42 (André) - 4 (maybe 5)
Superully (Ully) - 3 (maybe 4)
Atarimania (Franck) - 4 (maybe 5)
Ravage - 5
Speleo_de (Andreas) - 3
falcon NL (Floris) - 1
Thwocker (Marco) - 4 (maybe 5)
hatster (Kev) - 5

Total number of monitors (up to now):
Mainland Europe: 31 - 35

with the free monitors taken out of the equation, the delivery costs per monitor and the final price being 150 euros for one monitor i'm out. whoever wants my monitors can have them, but this is too much for my blood at the moment.

thx for the efforts though, i wish this would have happened some other time!

[ckong]

.... the delivery costs per monitor and the final price being 150 euros for one monitor i'm out.

We always knew that the price per monitor would be € 150: https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=1480.30

and delivering 38 monitors to Rav for € 400 is only aprr. € 10 per monitor.

So price per monitor at Rav's place is about  € 160. there are a few volunteers with a van to pick up the monitors at Rav's. I guess that this will not be more than another € 10 per monitor max. So total transport costs per monitor from Ireland to Mainland europe is € 20 max.

I don't think that this is unreasonable and is as expected since we started this. So, no surprise. But if there are more getting out of the deal, then the pricetag for the remaining people will increase of course.

as i've said, erik, it's not just that, it's also the lack of the free monitors, the nintendo bulk deal coming in between and the fact that that i'm basically still out of work and won't get paid in full until the end of october. this might be difficult to understand, but as i've said, right now i just can't get those monitors - that's what i call "bad timing". i don't think the prices for the monitors are going to change, it was 150 from the beginning and noone knew how many we were going to take, that's why i was hoping they would get cheaper the more we take ...

[ckong]

Ully, you don't have to defend your decision, I respect it of course.  The monitor group buy started quite some months ago, first through Level42 and then through Mitchomagic, and during this period things can happen which may people force to decide to withdraw. I completely understand that. In fact, I was glad that I could shove two of my 5 monitors to chrischris (see above), also because of financial reasons. And I was also hoping for a discount because of the bulk buy, but alas, didn't happen. 

Let's wait and see who still is joining here.

[Thwocker]

I'm still in for four.

Cheers,
Marco

[gyruss]

I'm still in for 1 but i don't want to pay more then €200,-
I'm also hoping that the payment could wait for 2 weeks. It's a very expensive month for me. 

Do you guys know if i could use the monitor in my donkey kong?? I know i have to buy a 'converter' for the inverse audio/video.

 

[Q*ris]

I'm still in for 2!
A little bit out of topic: could somebody point me to places where I could find a vector monitor (for an asteroids) and give me a price range.
Maybe PM me otherwise it will distract the main subject of this discussion. Thanks!

[hatster]

im still in for the 5 as originally, but i too am struggling this month.  If payment could wait 2 weeks then also perfect for me.  I can get my monitors collected from Rav's, probably easiest for me as you guys are all the wrong direction !

Cheers,

Kev.

[falcon NL]

Im still in for one!

Let me know where to paypal the money!

[ckong]

.... and I'm totaly OK to drive to Holland and bring back a bunch of monitors in Belgium for anybody who would be interested. Let me know, thanks already!

You do realize that the monitors will have to be picked up in England, at Rav's place, do you? We also have already some other volunteers to pick up the monitors, Level42 and Gyruss, and a guy with a van, falcon NL.

I adjusted reply #2. In bold you will see the definitely confirmed numbers so far. Some people still have to confirm.

[DarthNuno]

Well, I cancel the one I had to take . Already too much money out for me this time...and many more money to spend soon 
But for some reasons, if one more monitor has to be bought in order to finalize this bulk buy, I'll jump in again ...but don't count me in in your new list.
