Any chance you guys could share with the rest of us?

Lads...

I just got an email... and would like to review this in further detail... hence... i'm LOCKING this thread... and would suggest anyone who has a prob contact me...

There's a few things I need to work thru before I unlock the thread... let's just say... it's best to put this on hold until i get ALL the facts...

The community is EVERYTHING to me... and you guys know that I wouldn't do anything that I didn't feel was important...

xROTx

PS. I will unlock the thread... or suggest alternatives... AFTER I get the full facts... that OK lads?

Rot: Thanks for looking out. I appreciate your helping clear things up.

I looked into costs for the Blast City container. ~$4500 for door to door delivery to a storage facility in Montgomery County, PA from a very reputable customs broker/freight forwarder. ~$12000 total, which come to $480/cab. Not including insurance. If some else wants to head up a Blast group buy, PM me and I'll give you the info.

I'll head it up if it's toward the end of the month. Traveling the next two weeks.

So is this a Blast City buy only now? Or can we still get some NVCs and VCs?

The original one is still on, AFAIK. Need an updated cab count from OP to know for sure. Consider the Blast thing a backup plan as of now. Bunkhouse will check in with us in 2 weeks. Edit: He's going by "VT" again.

I'll be back in town after the 15th. At that point, I'll organize another one.

So what's the deal? Is the $450 Rot referenced in the other thread shipped price, or excellent email prices + an addn'l 450 per cab?

I'm back in for a VC, if it's 450 usd/per cab.

No... I said the cost of the cabs is sorta like $450usd per cab.. maybe slightly higher because my maths is hazy atm... hence i beleive the asking price is fair...

I take into account... crappy beat up cabs that need replacing... broken cabs... etc etc...

However, VT is planning to do a bulk buy for people... and I'd trust my soul for that bloke... upto YOU tho guys...

Just want to add that despite my interest in a Blast via VT, I'm still onboard for a NAC over here, barring any official announcements of demise from the OP.

Ah it's back... Now to wait for the update from N80G80. new prices levels? Changes in availability? I still want to get my new versus on. (and perhaps standard vs if they're significantly cheaper)

I'm definitely interested in a Blast City group buy..(MAYBE a New Astro City)..plus Montgomery County PA is so close I would haul that thing home on my back if I had to. (Luckily I have a truck though). I can't get PM's or send them at them moment being such a fresh member to NG....but I'll be relentlessly checking this thread.

I have the cash on hand.

I have a feeling the blast city buy will get it's own thread... Should probably keep the posts separate since they're two different deals, two different dealers.

-Darien, also if one takes from the other, we might not have enough for either.

Mugicha, Have I mentioned how much that sig makes me wanna play snatcher every time I see it? and I only have it for Sega CD... which is in storage.

Ditto for me. On for both, but I'm on the waiting list for a NAC in this buy. Definitely down with VT's. The dude is awesome.

Got back into the states late last night. I'll update a buyers list later. I'm not changing my price, I've done a group buy before, I'm not willing to risk losing money on another one. Plus as I said in my other thread I was planning on giving everyone new sticks/buttons for the cabs they purchase (was supposed to be a surprise, before all the nonsensical drama). Anyway I'll update the buyers list later, and we'll go from there.

Just to add N80G80 is great seller and I have had many transactions with him face to face. You should not hesitate to join the group buy with complete confidence.
