Hey international members!

I'm hosting a group buy for any of you people out there that are interested in the Zero Dark Thirty Blu-ray Steelbook from Best Buy

Pre-order cost is $29.99 per copy
Sales tax of $1.50 per copy

You'll note that the price is likely to drop from it's retail $29.99 price, and it has. Unfortunately we've had to ask many good members here to find us copies, as they were not available in quantity for us.

Having said that, we have reimbursed them for shipping to the USA, taxes (which vary by state) and basically anything else that pops up - including gas, if they ask. So having said, we will keep the original reserve price active, as so many members (50 of them) paid that price.

We're not ebay, and we're not trying to charge e-bay prices, but these extra costs must be factored in.

Due to the large amount of work for international group buys, including a few visits to the post office and packaging materials, the fee will be $4.50 per copy but that TOTAL cost is DONATED TO HDN upkeep costs.

Paypal fees will be included in any invoice sent.

LIMIT of 1 copy per member.


Only mint / new copies will be passed on to members here.

Additionally - these steelbooks usually come wrapped in cardboard slips. I'll do my best to inspect them, but I cannot see underneath the cardboard.

Shipping options:

QUOTES are for 1 steelbook ONLY.

I will pack in the following manner - case will be bubble wrapped, cardboard added around it. Extra padding will be added if a box is chosen.

Please note - with non-trackable shipping - you the buyer understand that I cannot verify it's delivery - as I leave the choice up to you, this is not my responsibility. Insurance can be purchased through a 3rd party if desired.

I will retain proof of shipping for each package.

All delivery times are ESTIMATES only. New quotes provided as necessary.

No guarantee on the waitlist copies, but I'll keep taking names as we might get another member or two to help - in addition to the members already assisting.

So the cost might be a bit higher as I won't ask these folks to deal with international shipping and might have them pickup in-store and reship to me and I could handle the rest.

FYI for all those on the wait list.

Andy ill ship you as many copies as I can get my hands on. Assuming I keep my grades up ill have a long lunch that day and will hopefully get there before they're all sold out.

We'll keep taking names, but my Best Buy.com account is closed because I ordered too many copies for members here.

I have over 5 members assisting, including whatever copies I can grab in person since I'm taking the day off from work.

For all those that paid, all 50 of you, I think we got you covered.

People on the wait list...we'll see. I remain hopeful we'll get your copies tho. :cool:
 
group buy now closed, updated OP with current requesting members - will not be taking any more names from this point forward on the wait list.
 
Hi mate!
Any news on this or have all been snappeD?

It really depends on how many copies the other members I have helping can get for us.

So this means I won't know for sure, how many folks on the reserve list we can help until the 19th.

If you have an opportunity to get one at cost right now, I say go for it, otherwise, I'll advise further when I know more.

Thank you
 
Update for group buy members:

You'll note that many of you have been assigned to a "host". Depending on who acquires copies and how comfortable they feel, they will send on to me or send internationally directly to you.

Many of the UK members will be hosted by Ricker and local shipping will be completed by Chandler_90 in the UK.

As I hear from some other ninja members that have volunteered their help, I'll continue to update the list in the OP.

So having said that - I will coordinate payments and shipping information going forward - do not PM your "host" at the moment - so please remain patient over the next day or so as we get organized and send invoices out, etc.

Finally, as I mentioned originally, the cost of the steelbook has dropped since the reserve price. Unfortunately, this is more difficult to obtain than we originally thought, it appears that any extra funds will be applied to shipping costs to me or to reimburse ninja members for travel costs, etc. Any further costs to you will ONLY be shipping and / or insurance (if desired).

I hope that all makes sense and feel free to pm me if you'd like to discuss.

I think we should have enough copies for every one.

Thank you.
