Alex can you tell me how much the items weighs and how big the box/packaging is please? The seller has offered to ship all the items to me and then it would be up to me to sort out posting within the UK.

I would prefer if he would bill all interested persons separately via Paypal so that we can get the items sent directly and also be covered by Paypal's insurance policy should anything go awry. The only trouble is that postage may be as high as £12- but he hasn't confirmed yet and the office is closing from today until January 7th.....

Any thoughts on this from those interested? ie does it change your interest level or can you offer any other solutions eg if you have cheap shipping services we could use? Obviously if the order numbers exceed ten then prices may be further negotiable.

Obviosly being in Scotland Bob, I have very short arms and very, very deep pockets, but £36+ £12'ish is still do-able.

Lol truckbus, I'm still on the case and have put forward an offer of £40 inclusive of shipping to the UK. The vendor has agreed in principle and will look at sorting out the details when they return to the office on Jan 7th. It also gives us more time to get more people in on the deal!

Its very light (as you would expect) but in a reasonably large box.

Mine came well protected (essential IMO) as if the box were to flex you would end up with a bent item.

I paid about £10 for intl. postage. Being in NL I cant comment exactly what the RM will ask for - here in NL I would expect to pay about €8 without tracking/signature.

As an aside, I jet washed it for the 1st time today - still stuck on resolutely, no probs at all

Ok here is the list of interest so far-

1)Truckbus
2)Skipjack
3)Me
4)Shadeyman
5) rvrover
6)aquabee
7)markmc
8)mehei x2
9) 60041
10) Fuzzypicture

So 11 items in total. The chap is happy to offer them for £40 each delivered with that number but obviously if we can get more numbers then he may negotiate further. Post up by the end of today if you want to join or leave so I can give him definite numbers and contact details etc.
Thanks
