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:

Might be interested in a copy of POTC but can you confirm these are sealed Chandler_90? Went in to my local HMV last night and they only had 2 on the shelf which were not sealed and had loads of dents and scratches on them EEK!

First off, Chandler, the amount of energy you've put into this endevour is staggering. Thanks just doesn't seem like a big enough word, but you have mine nonetheless. I would love a copy of Cabin and PotC, if they're still available. What does shipping look like to Canada?

Edit: Never mind the stupid question about shipping. The OP is pretty clear, I'm just an idiot...

Thanks for the info mate. Was looking at your spreadsheet but it's been a very long day in work so how much would a copy of POTC be to the UK? :D

Tracking one on eBay so can you hang fire for the time being please?

Just called and they're keeping one back!

It's great so many people wanting these.. The more people the better as it brings the cost down for everyone!
 
I'm gonna close this after the weekend (Monday Night) so I can concentrate in getting totals out!

So if you want something please post quick!
 
No more requests for War Horse please as it is now unobtainable!

I'm gonna remove the reserve list too as I simply can't find any more in my region! :(
