Please complete this form with your details if you wish to avail of the group order.

Edit 29/02/2012

I was googling cheap places to restock on CO2 canisters and I came across a boardsie group buy from 2010 from this crowd

http://www.co2cartridges.co.uk/eu/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=254&category=303

I was looking to get myself a bunch of threaded 16g canisters, they can be bought in 10 x 30 boxes for:

Subtotal: £139.99
Delivery £30.49
Basket Total: £170.48 (inc Vat)

Which is roughly 200 euro, coming in at 30 for 20 yoyos or 66c each.

If I was to arrange a group buy and accept cash via paypal or bank transfer, with collection from Swords or delivery via an post as an extra, would anyone be interested.

Needs about 10 people looking for 30 each to fly and then any more on top is a bonus and may bring the price down a bit more.

Sounds good I'm interested but to see if I'm understanding this correctly its 30 canisters for €20?

Also I'm in Cork so would need to sort out some postage arrangement.

fat bloke · 27-02-2012 10:35PM

Presume they're a standard road bike tube size and fitting yeah?

I'd throw 20 quid in the ring for 30 of 'em.

Yes it would be 30 canisters for 20 euro give or take the exchange rate on the day.

Cheers, mark me down so.

This would be the canisters only, they are a standard thread and fit all road bike CO2 adapters.

You would need to buy the bit on the left in the below picture that these screw into in order to inflate. It fits both valve types, and a cartridge will instantly inflate to 120-130 psi on a normal road bike tyre, just make sure you are not pinching the new tube between the tyre and the rim before inflating.

C3PO · 27-02-2012 10:43PM

I'd go for that!

Dermot Illogical · 27-02-2012 10:43PM

Oh go on then...

If you can point me in the direction of the adapter I'd need, I'd also be interested in 30 for €20

Dubba · 27-02-2012 10:57PM

I picked mine up in a LBS for a fiver.

Lagnagoushee · 27-02-2012 10:58PM

Count me in too. I'd take €20 worth.
PM me regarding how to pay and postage costs etc.
Thanks

lennymc · 27-02-2012 11:05PM

LCRC_BAX · 27-02-2012 11:22PM

Count me in please

fat bloke · 27-02-2012 11:45PM

Sound yeah. Count me in.

shamalam · 27-02-2012 11:47PM

Im in for that price, thanks.

Lemag · 28-02-2012 01:37AM

Count me in also. I'm in Cork so I'd require to have my 30 posted down to me. Cheers Inquitus.

DUBintheSTICKS · 28-02-2012 01:48AM

Id be interested as well, thanks

Idleater · 28-02-2012 08:52AM

Interested too.

Diarmuid · 28-02-2012 09:02AM

I'm in

I'd recommend having a cut-off point or a limit on the order, just to save your sanity. Meeting up with 15 people is one thing, 50 a very different ball game!

G rock · 28-02-2012 09:12AM

Count me in too please. Will pay extra for postage

Highway_To_Hell · 28-02-2012 09:30AM

Count me in as well.

sled driver · 28-02-2012 09:53AM

I'll throw my name in the hat aswell, if you haven't already met your quota

cython · 28-02-2012 09:58AM

Count me in for 4 boxes, as I know 3 others interested in getting in on this

seamus · 28-02-2012 09:59AM

Every extra case make shipping marginally cheaper, so if there are 20 of us, it becomes around €19 a box. 30 of us, €18.50/box

Stick my name in anyway whatever way you want to set it up.

triggermortis · 28-02-2012 10:21AM

I'd be interested too.

redzone · 28-02-2012 10:24AM

I would be interested if ye can fit me in. Thanks.

Inquitus · 28-02-2012 10:42AM

Ok I think for my sanity we'll call it a day at 20 boxes.

On the list so far

Inquitus x 1
Dubba x 1
Fat Bloke x 1
RPL1 x 1
RT66 x 1
Lusk Doyle x 1
Lagnagoushee x 1
Lennymc x 1
LCRC_BAX x 1
shamalam x 1
Lemag x 1
DUBintheSTICKS x 1
Idleater x 1
Diarmuid x 1
G Rock x 1
Highway_To_Hel x 1
sled driver x 1
cython x 4
seamus x 1
triggermortis x 1
redzone x 1

This list brings us to 24 for now, I may have to call it at 20 to keep it manageable, in which case I may limit cython to 1 box in the interests of fairness.

Sending CO2 canisters via An Post in against their T&Cs, and onward Courier carriers to Cork etc will be too pricy I suspect @ 20-30 yoyos a box.

As such I will have to enforce collection only in Swords. Anyone who cannot collect in swords, please confirm you are no longer interested in thread so I can pare down the list.

Thanks,

Inq

lennymc · 28-02-2012 10:44AM

swords is no problem for me.

delynet · 28-02-2012 10:57AM

Count me in if there is room, 1 box

cdaly_ · 28-02-2012 11:22AM

Last time I did this, the shipping seemed to work out most efficient for a 10x30 order. I ordered 20 boxes in separate orders of 10 as that worked out cheaper.
