Hi

People have been discussing these for a while and I have done alot of searching about and can't find any in the UK!

I know some people will make them, but I would rather the ease of having one already done for me on this one! However the only place selling them want alot of money for such a low cost item to ship to the UK. Having imported alot of stuff in the past from teh US I know that this actually is a realistic cost though.

So I have spoken to the shop and they have agreed the same shipping cost if I bought a number of them. However he only has 5-6 in stock so if you are interested we would need to move quickly

Ebay item at this URL- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws...p;_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

Essentially it would work out at £26 each including me posting it on to you guys as they would all get sent initially to me. I would need money up front as I don't have the spare cash to pay for them then collect it in. I will be paying the same amount myself and am working it on current exchange rates without anything in it for me so I'm hoping they don't fluctuate too much.

Anyone interested?? I need at least 4 after me and may if we are quick be able to fit in a fifth. Payment once we have enough people could either be paid direct to my bank account or by paypal if you add £2 on to cover the paypal fees!

Delivery I would expect would be around 2-3 weeks but would confirm closer to order!!

Anyone interested??

Regards

Sam

Just a quick note about Paypal. As far as I know, if you send money as a gift the recipient doesn't have to pay a commission. At least, that's the way it was last time I send somebody money.

The above quote is right and proper.

I am sure that most of us recognise and applaude the administrators for allowing these transactions to take place on this forum.

I for one would like to see a seperate sub forum folder named Wants, for sale/exchange etc.for these helpful items.

I agree totally with both Admin and Ivan, lets set up a separate section within the forum for these kind of posts.
