McMurdo PLB Fastfind 210 with GPS - BULK BUY OFFER

Hi All

After several days of haggling and hassle - I think I have the best offer we are going to get with the minimal amount of fuss and through a reliable company - as follows:

McMurdo Fastfind PLB 210 with GPS £179.00 including delivery direct to you from the seller

Conditions of the sale

1. We must order a minimum of 10
2. The price will be held for two weeks (ends 21st January 2010)
3. Payment needs to be collected by me - Bank Transfer, Postal Order, Cash.
4. The Fastfind will be sent to you direct by the seller with proof of purchase re warranty

I suggest we log names of those willing to commit to buying - once we have 10 only then will I ask for payments to be transferred - if we fail at this point then I will refund all those that have paid.

I expect you are all wondering who the company is - well huge thanks go to Martin (Malthouse) at Alderney Marine - who has worked really hard on our behalf to get such a fantastic deal - they are supplied from the UK so no problem regarding registration etc

Re the London Boat Show - it is possible we could get a few more pennies off if we waited for a deal at the LIBS - however the complications of payment and individual communication I think out weigh any small saving - hence why I believe this offer is the best we can squeeze out of the system (and believe me I've tried )

Thanks KY

Can I just mention that the membership package is not available, not that there was a huge take up.

Regarding registering a UK beacon outside of the UK, Jon Till from McMurdo says:

"It may be possible to register in the UK - but it is not recommended. You should check with the UK EPIRB registry. The correct way to programme the unit is to get a serial number from the Finland authorities or alternatively to programme as MMSI."

apologies

Knot yet and all, apologies, I will have to pull out of purchase. I'm going to be a dad!! Due in July, not much cruising for me further than view of land unfortunately. And the money has been allocated for other things.

Thank you for your work though.

Thanks all

Nearly at the magical 10 but will wait until the 14th before sending details re bank transfer - hope that's okay with you all - the thinking being if we have an excess of 10 committed then we are more likely see a minimum of 10 pay up (taking into account last minute changes of plan, unforeseen expenditure, making babies - sorry Paul couldn't resist!!) - does that make sense!!
