Okay, before I am able to move it over to the group buy I have to get a shipping quote so I can answer all of Monty's requirements. Here is what I will PM to him:
Looking over the group buy and here is what I have from that (I'm going to use the number and letter system Monty used here (
http://www.penturners.org/forum/f21/new-group-buy-guidelines-please-read-before-posting-38271/) :
1 – I have my name city and state in my profile (and have for a while)
2 – I am currently getting the shipping charge to me from the company. Should be in Monday. I will do the current cost break down per tap and die further in this post. This will not include shipping to anyone here as I don't have everyone's addresses (which is understandable until this is a definite go and moved to the group purchase and I start collecting funds but it will likely by flat rate boxes (I've already contacted the overseas buyer and worked out a rough shipping with him).
3 – Working on the announcement but it will pretty much be just like this once I get the shipping quote.
A – Items will be M10 Double Start Tap and Die and M12 Double Start Tap and Die
B – Cost for 1 tap and die of these sets ranges from 122.20 to 159.94 discounted at 12 to 34.98 and 49 respectively (those are the least expensive and most expensive ones others are in between those costs)
C – Awaiting shipping estimate, extra insurance will not be bought unless requested. Then it will be calculated based on USPS prices, I will be using PayPal and if we do the friends and family there are no fees, I won't be charging for boxes or tape (just shipping and the taps and dies) since flat rate boxes are free.
D – Payment will be PayPal or checks (I'm okay with either checks will just make the process take longer as I will have to wait for them to clear to put in the order but don't make that force you to not want to do this just understand it will take longer)
E – I will ship internationally and the one current member that wants a set has been in contact and agreed to the extra costs. I will still ship the cheapest method which I believe is flat rate but I have already worked this out with him)
F – The buy would be closed to orders...what's the group consensus a week after everyone that currently expressed interest confirms? A few days. Not more that a week but that might be too much.
G – There should not be any leftover funds but if there are I will just donate them to the IAP.
H – Nothing should be back ordered because they will be making these to order. The only delay will likely be in setting up their tooling.
Here is the cost break down at the 12 pc price break:
M10 double tap
34.98
M10 double die
54.58
M12 double tap
42.90
M12 double die
51.33
M10 double set
89.56
M12 double set
94.23
