I Cant believe that BlackSpot will not take payments direct via Credit card. 
All the other group buys i have been in have carried out in this fasion.
I have nothing against BlK but i dont know him from the next person.
What shall i do folks ?

as the e-mail said, if they were taking individual payments - you get the retail price.
If you go through me you get the trade / reseller price.
I don't mind pulling the plug on this if you guys are not happy with it - no skin off my nose.
Why don't you call blackspot your self and try - that's all i did!
Try to be subtle though. . .

I'm as cautious as anyone but looking at Blkknight's history i.e. number and range of his posts (advanced search on his user name) you'll see he appears legit.
I'm not vouching for him 'coz I don't know him from Adam, but he would have to be the most patient conman out to have set us up for this one.
Also if sending a cheque you'll have:
a) name and address to send it too
b) paper trail through banks showing whose account it was cashed through
c) bank trace on cash transfer if using that method.
All the above stuff that can be handed over to Mr Plod SHOULD he do a midnight on us. And Blkknight will have 20 ragging nutters with baseball bats after him looking for £300 each if this happens!!
It would be a shame to lose this group buy at this price over this. I for one will still be up for this buy.

Well this is starting to become a farse !! I wish people would make up their minds what they're gonna do.??
Like Scoobimax said i hardly think anyone is going to go on this long trying to do us all,i'm as cautious as anyone,but i also think this is a great offer & trust BlkKnight,you have to trust some people in this life some of the time.
PLEASE someone decide if this is going to happen? else everyone will get so fed up & drop out,me included, & look elsewhere for this,but we'll pay more.
Just a thought BlkKnight cant you do a deal just for those of us who DEFINATELY want this,does it have to be 20?,can you sweet talk your contact??
Goodnight Duracell

Right, assuming we have no more cancellations, we still have 20 people.
I'll PM stuff over tonight RE bank details & address - to give more time for drop outs.
If you are sending a cheque, I'll cash them all in one hit when I have them near the end - this is because I'm a lazy git and it's a mission for me to get to the bank when open.

This thread is so long I haven't forgotten mention of when we might recieve the goods? I appreciate that this depends on you clearing all our cheques but assuming that is say 10 days from now...have the Road angel folk said when they can send out and are they coming to you first? right? A rough idea of an eta?
Top work and effort
thanks

It'll be roughly between 7-10 working days from the date the order is placed.
I don't know how long it'll take you guys to get your money to me - I have no control over that.
Blackspot are sending the items to me in bulk. I am then matching serial numbers to names & addresses u give me (when you send payment) and sending them out on a 24 hour courrier (Citylink).

Sorry guys,
Need to pull out - cash flow is too tight at the moment.
Mortgage hassles etc - need to strip back on expenditure a bit.
Hope it does not cause too many hassles?

If it all goes pete - I'll obviously give you all your money back.
I recon it'll be ok if we drop down to 15 units.

How come everyone drops after we've set the numbers.
Ho hum.
As I've said above I'm sure we'll be ok as long as we can get 15 units. . . .
There is still time for people to join this groupbuy

Come boys and girls lets get this sorted PDQ.
BlkKnight can you keep the thread updated with numbers of confirmed payments (don't need names) - we can then all get a feel for how it's going time wise i.e. when we're likely (or not) to get our mits on the goodies.
Cheers.
