(CLOSED) Turbo Everdrive Group Buy ORDERED!

[FiftyQuid]

Sound like a plan to me.  Thanks Blue!

[MrFulci]

Where are the covers/cases available for sale? The last place I looked, they were not available anymore.

I may be interested in joining in on this, it just depends on where cases are available.

I mean the cases that cover the board to protect it from damage inserting it into a system and whatnot,  not anything like a storage case.

put me down for one

I'm interested as well. My other flash card has been flaky, despite Game of You's willingness to keep making repairs/replacements.

What the hell, put me down.

[jtucci31]

Add me to the list.  However, I'm screwing everything up by being in Canada.  So if you US guys don't want me in on this let me know and I'll bow out.  It's rough being a Canuck.

I don't really mind shipping to Canada. I'd like to include as many people who want an everdrive as possible. I may ask you for a few bucks more if that's ok, but it should not be anything too drastic. I'd appreciate people telling me in advance if they live outside of CON U.S. So i appreciate ya letting me know FiftyQuid.


Here is the Everdrive thread that was on here not too long ago and gave me the idea for the group buy: https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=16526.0

It's got some good info about everdrives and how to load them and such. It also includes the cases:

"Classic Style" http://shpws.me/q6MW
"Super Low Profile Style" http://shpws.me/q6MX

(taken from the maker here)

So that's for people asking about those. Now i contacted the retrogate store and they told me that shipping any amount of everdrives would be $5. (Seems strange but it's what they said so I'll go with it). With that being said the price per individual should decrease, however I'm still figuring out logistics. So i would still keep that $70 range in your head just in case as that should be the top dollar we pay per everdrive.

Thanks for the information on the shells. last I looked at that place, they were OOS or something, but that was a while ago. Could have also been for an older model shell.


Jtucci, put me down for one. I'm interested in tinkering with one.

Don't thank me, thank Necro, i found it through him 

But yer on the bill!

Count me in too!

So I've been wanting an Everdrive for awhile and seeing interest in other threads has prompted me to start this thread. I'd be willing to organize this group buy for some Everdrives.

I'll purchase them from here: http://shop.retrogate.com/Turbo-EverDrive-TURBO-ED.htm

Buying one on your own runs you around $85. This group buy should aim to save you around $10-15. It's $60 per person if 10 are involved so adding in little shipping fees here and there will still cut the cost of buying on your own. I'm figuring out how much the initial shipment of 10 everdrives will be so once i have that i can get a better number for everyone. I'd say now you're looking at maybe $70. I would need the money upfront before i bought it as I don't have that kind of cash to shell out, sorry. I'm sure most of you understand how this works but if not I'll try to explain better.

So I'd like to get a list going of people who are interested and can pay within a week or two (ideally). Once i get a list of how many people want an everdrive i can get exact prices and we can get this ball rolling.


The list:

1-jtucci31
2-Sadler
3-BlueBMW
4-NightWolve
5-Wallzter
6-jlued686
7-wildo2ne
8-FiftyQuid
9-Keith Courage
10-spenoza
11-esteban
12-MrFulci
13-TheClash603

I'm in!

[Medic_wheat]

I am in to add me add me!!

[munchiaz]

awesome man. Count me in on this. Send me your Paypal and i'll get the money out to you ASAP. Thanks again for doing this.

[NightWolve]

Wow, so getting 10+ participants wasn't all that hard. Fast!

So yeah, at least $70 per person versus the $84 you'd pay buying it individually. Now that excludes something for jtucci's time + $1 per his own box/shipping material. I would be happy to at least save $10 bucks on this, so up to $74 would be fine by me - it might not work out that way, but yeah. What sucks is USPS rates are high in Illinois where he's at, so I'm doubtful he can get a $5 standard shipping rate anywhere in the US, but we'll see. You can save a dollar by not paying for a tracking number, but that'll suck if there's a problem.

[jtucci31]

Damn 16 people already. I'm glad that this is working out well so far.

I went to the post office today in my town and i was informed that shipping in small flat rate boxes is only $5.80 pretty much anywhere CON U.S. I asked about Canada and they said that would be around $20, so we will have to talk about that Canadians. Once again Please tell me if you are outside of CON U.S. I'm sure we can work something out, it would just be nice to know ahead of time. I feel as though the small flat rate boxes are a pretty good idea as it should fit the everdrive nicely. I can only order 5 at a time from the  USPS website for free so I'll have to figure that out. (Should i order 5 at a time? Or is there a grace period). I also forgot to ask about tracking numbers so I'll get on that soon as well, because I'm sure tracking numbers are wanted.

We definitely have enough people already to go in on this, but i feel like we should wait to see if anyone else wants to get in on the group buy. I'm thinking maybe by this Saturday for the deadline to be. And then after that I'll start PM'ing everyone about Paypal junk and whatnot. If anyone objects and thinks i should wait longer (or end it sooner and order sooner) let me know! 

Also the list of people should be updated as i try to get them on there as soon as i see them (if i didn't then i would for sure get lost)

[BigT]

I'd like to be included too.

Thanks for organizing this!
