THIS GROUP BUY WILL CLOSE ON MONDAY 15TH OF OCTOBER 2012 @ 7PM GMT!!

I am offering assistance in purchasing the following from HMV:

  • War Horse
  • Final Destination
  • Pirates of The Carribbean: On Stranger Tides
  • Cabin In The Woods
  • Rampart
  • Fast 5
  • The Devils Double
  • Green Hornett
  • Cars 2

Each individual title is priced at £5 unless stated.

Still a very good deal for Steels that were retailing at around the £25 mark last week :D

I have 6 local HMV stores close to me and I will begin shopping after 12.30PM GMT, I suspect there won't be too many copies available but I will try my best to help everyone out :)

1 copy of each individual £5 title per member max, other items are limited to 5 copies per member.
EG: you are allowed 1 copy of Final Destination and 3 copies of Rampart..


NEW TITLES:

FAST 5 @ £6 (15 copies)
The Devils Double @ £6 (6 copies)
Green Hornett @ £15 (10 copies)
Cars 2 @ £10 (2 copies)


So far I have the following requests:

Totals (To date)

Below is an image from the spreadsheet I've been using to calculate all the totals.
I've laid everything out bare so everyone can see what they are paying.
I've done my best to keep costs as low as possible, delivery from London added to the expense but overall I think things have gone pretty smooth!

gb.png


Fees were calculated using the following formula:

=AE3+AF3+AM9

This takes AE3 which multiplies the item number by my £1 item fee, then adds AF3 which multiplies the items number by the £0.62 ($1) HDN item fee and finishes by applying the HDN GB fee which is $10 divided by all 31 GB members.

London postage fee was calculated by adding up all my friends expenses (Postage, Packing, Travel) and then splitting that between ONLY the people that had purchased a copy of War Horse.

My personal fees were calculated via my expenses (Packing, Parking, Travel) split between all members of the GB.

I had also calculated the Paypal fees using the formula =((N3/100)*3.4)+0.2 but I've decided not to use this and to simply allow the buyer to pay the fees as calculated by Paypal.

Hope all this makes sense.

I'll be sending out my paypal info soon, as I realised the way I was gonna do it was the complicated way :hilarious:

Yip, 1 steel.

I was pretty shocked at prices but they were the cheapest I could find!

If anyone from the UK has any recommendations please let me know!

I've noticed that two of the War Horse steels have a loose disc(s) inside.. I'm happy to take one of these as my own as I will be opening it.

Is anyone else ok to the other copy?
 
Will do!

I can definitely get you a copy and the Post Office over here want to charge £8.54 for signed recorded or £3.39 for non signed..

I'm looking around for better costs. :)

Can you send it for £3.39 non signed then? (Or less if you can get a better deal!)

I take it it will come with the replacement disk that does not skip yes?

That is correct.

The item has been opened by HMV, new disc inserted and then poly bagged by HMV.

If I send non signed I can not refund if the item is lost in transit, however I will send images of both the package and receipt of postage to you :)
 
Hi Chandler,

It is a pity not to arrive on time to get WAR HORSE, let´s cross fingers to get one.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your efforts Chandler_90, I am happy enough with the POTC copy.

Working through inital estimates for everyone..
Still need to get postage for items from London.

Its getting quite complex but its looking good.

Only people buying War Horse will get charged extra for the London postage.. which is pretty much everyone :hilarious:

I'll keep working at it.. I'm aiming to start deliveries by the end of the week.
More confirmation emails will be sent to confirm method of postage for each member.
All packages are aiming to be delivered within 5 days of postage :D
