Gauging interest for a group buy for Neo Flash Cart

[HercTNT]

If thats the case, then I cast my vote for the 64meg card as well. the 128 is nice, but just a bit to steep for me.

[xcrement5x]

I'd prefer whichever was the more reliable model, I don't really know a lot about the differences and if they would effect me (I only use the CoreGrafx and Duo-RX most of the time).  For the 64, the cost would be about $80 after shipping and all?

Yep, that is about right.

The 64M units for orders of 10-49 is $69.00

759.00 (Price for 11) + 51.00 (Shipping) = 810.00 (Total Shipped) / 11 (Units) = 73.64 (Per Unit) + 6.00 (Domestic Shipping w/ Tracking) = $79.64

Would be a little more for our out of country bretheren.

Price isn't bad at all. The $11.00 for shipping is where it hurts.

[genetik]

I'm ok with the 64M and Feb 19th sounds good to me. Price wise, we would need to add an extra 4% (or send as a gift) so that the one buying doesn't get hit with the fees.

[neoxeno]

I want one also. I vote for a 64M.

[Sadler]

64M is fine with me.

[HercTNT]

Mishran, thanks for taking the lead on this. we appreciate it.

[esteban]

Ha! I replied on the other thread. I'm interested in joining the group purchase.

I see that folks aren't going to wait for the Ukranian's (Krzkkkk's) offering

[Mishran]

First post has been updated.

[Sparky]

69... i mean 64 please

[Terminarcade]

I also need one of those... 64m should be fine for me.

[incrediblehark]

if everyone else wants the 64m i will too, just let me know when to pay!

[Senshi]

i will not be ready to purchase until the 21st.

[Mishran]

i will not be ready to purchase until the 21st.

Oh man, Senshi... I don't know. What do you chaps think? Push the cut-off date back to the 21st to give Senshi a chance at one of these?

[Sadler]

yeah I can wait 3 more days.

[Senshi]

i will not be ready to purchase until the 21st.

I don't want to hold everyone up. As long as I don't have to buy the lot and distribute its fine.

Easy does it, man. I was only messing with you. If you truly want one, consider it done. Already changed the first post to reflect the push back date.

[Senshi]

Oh ok. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to wait two weeks, especially if everyone is good to go.

[xcrement5x]

Cool, when you need the cash please let me know via PM since I get an email for those.  Sometimes I miss the thread updates and I wouldn't want to look like a flake by not paying on time.

[Mishran]

I gotta agree with ya though, Senshi... Got quite a task in store for me here. Hopefully everything goes without a hitch.

[Senshi]

Yea I hope so too. We've all be forewarned there might be an issue so if someone is not ok with that they should back out now. Just put me down for the 64M since it seems like there isn't really a difference after all.

[HercTNT]

If everyone goes for the cheaper 64meg version i dont see anything going wrong. by the votes i would say its heading that way anyways.

[esteban]

64 M is fine w/ me.

[emartin373]

I would be very interested as well. Who do I need to PM for payment info? A 64M would be fine.

[HercTNT]

I think Mishran is gonna pm us payment info when he's ready to rock and roll.                                 

[emartin373]

Sounds great. Mishran, please add me to the list.

[Mishran]

Hey, 35 more people jump in and we can save another $4.00 per flash cart! 

[nat]

Yeah, I remember the "bulk rates" being ridiculous.

Something like:

"1-30 - $69/ea"
"31-60 - $67/ea"
"61-95 - $66/ea"
"96-200 - $62/ea"
"201+ - $60/ea"

Big savings.

[Duo_R]

I am hopping on the 64m bandwagon!

[Mishran]

I've been checking shipping costs for these and while it should be pretty cheap to ship these USPS within the US, $5.35 for Priority Small Flat Rate Box, international is going to be rather steep. Shipping to the UK for instance by USPS is $16.95. FedEx, which I must have done something wrong, states $82.45 to the UK.

IC2005.com claims the package weighs 1g which seems too light for what it is. It would still be cheaper than someone ordering just one and having it shipped to the UK, however. I have personally never shipped a package of any type international, so perhaps someone can offer some advice. Any thoughts, questions, suggestions?

[Senshi]

The small flate rate box should be around $13 using USPS to the UK.

[mrhaboobi]

I would be keen if i can get it shipped to New Zealand.. should be about 12 bucks or so for shipping based on my other purcahses

[Mishran]

USPS.com says $16.95, same as the UK. I believe prices have gone up again recently. Domestic flat went from 5.20 up to 5.35.

Damn that sucks

[incrediblehark]

there's always airmail but then you run a whole other set of risks, but considering they're already being shipped from China (Most likely in a plain envelope via air) maybe the risk isn't so bad.

[mrhaboobi]

At least the xchange rate isn't as bad as normal  for me so I'm still keen, 64m should do the job,  out of interest what's going to be the come for you if the items are doa.?  Will the supplier look after you

[Mishran]

First post updated. All participants please read it. PMs will be inbound shortly.

[Mishran]

Payment detail PMs have been sent to everyone on the list. If you did not receive it, please PM me. Thanks everyone!

[Sadler]

Just want to publicly thank you for taking lead on this. Thanks man!

[Mishran]

Not a problem at all. I want one of these suckers too! The cheaper the better.

Sorry, man. I completely overlooked your post. The item would have to be returned to the supplier for exchange. It would have to be sent to them straight from you, but the exchanged item would come straight to me and then have to be sent to you again. Its a pain in the ass, but that's how it goes it would seem.

If anyone wants to prevent too much trouble, I CAN open and test anybody's cart here before sending it off too you. I have several systems (TurboGrafx x2, Core Grafx, SuperGrafx, Turbo Express, and a Duo-R) I can test them on. I was actually considering purchasing an extra in case one happens to be DOA, which I don't think will happen as I never heard of any problems with the 64M version.. If they do all work, I can always sell the spare.

[HercTNT]

Thats your call Mish, I wont say no to you testing them, at the same time, i dont see why its your job either. Your doing enough already in my eyes.

[Mishran]

I've had a chat with my local post office about shipping items internationally. Everyone who lives in Canada or overseas, DO NOT send me shipping along with your payment. I will be doing actual shipping cost for these as I was told it would be much cheaper in most cases to do so. When you send payment, make sure you put a note in paypal what your user name here is so there is no confusion and proper credit is given. Updated PMs will be sent out to all of you reflecting this change. Thanks guys.

Well, I'm not going to open and test any without permission. If there IS any DOA then it saves alot of trouble for all of us to find out before it leaves my residence. Either way, we will worry about that when the carts are ordered and arrive at my door.

[kiketonto]

I'm interested in the group buy too! and 64 seems well to me after reading the 128M problems.
but need more info.
Payment method? PAYPAL (as gift) accepted?
any problem with re-send it to SPAIN?

I'd be interested in this - but isn't the everdrive guy going to release a pce flash cart soon?

[Frank_fjs]

Yes, but I don't know about soon as he has other priorities such as an upgraded Mega Drive cart.
