CLOSED 2014 Maccas 21st Edition - Bulk Forum Purchase

[markn]

Thanks for responding Greg.  I should note here that the burden of this offer has fallen squarely on the shoulders of PPH.  She's the one that's going to need to package these up and send them out and at $30 shipped she's not making more than a dollar or two a book.  But this is not about profit, it's about using our membership here to get a better deal for all of us, and I for one thank PPH for taking the time out of her busy schedule to do this for us.

If anyone wants older issues of the book as suggested by Greg I suggest you deal with him directly unless there's a guaranteed group buy of 20 books or some significant number in which case PPH and I could get involved.

Now we need to know exact amount to pay and how to pay so you can start getting the money in.

I'll get to that shortly. The niggly problems are this. Last years book in a DLX pocket envelope fits snug at the large letter limit of 20mm. The new book with more pages probably won't fit which
1. pre-stamping and labelling envelopes can't happen until they arrive -this means last minute fuss and a very late night to get the orders out the following day
2. we risk 60 AP fines for oversized (too fat) letter packages.

Just thinking out loud........

Mrs. Robster would like a copy, no need to post, will collect when suitable to PPH.! :good:

PPH has done the final sums.  And we've come up with two payment options.  Option 1 is payment of $26 shipped via regular post.  This is OUR COST and PPH isn't making a cent.  Option 2 is a payment of $30 with shipping via regular post and PPH makes $4 a book.  You can decide which payment you want to make.

Payments via Bank Deposit ONLY.  Please include your real name OR forum name in the transaction reference so we know who has paid.  Here's the bank details:

Bank: Commonwealth Bank
Account Name: The Purple Penny Pty. Ltd.
BSB: 065 150
Account Number: 10482106

Please email sales@thepurplepenny.com with your forum name and shipping address when you've made payment.  Cleared payment is required BEFORE we'll ship these out.  Cleared pre-payment is required for them to be shipped out the day after we receive them.

DISCLAIMER

I am making this offer only to current forum members.  Members joining after today (15 November 2013) are not eligible for this offer.  I am also limiting orders to 1 per forum member.

You can decide which payment you want to make.

Why would anybody choose option 1?

I'm not sure how to take that comment Fulvio. Christmas time of year can be hard for some of us and we aren't all aware of the financial positions of others. This is a goodwill non-profiteering venture and it will take Markn and I time and effort to fulfil this (not that this forum doesn't already take up all of that but we love it).

I think PPH is trying to say that we're not doing this to make any money.  She was uncomfortable charging forum members $30 without fully disclosing what our costs were.

I see your payment Fulvio, you are on my list!

Cool. This new-fangled online BS that CUA have implemented means I'm now reduced to doing things over the counter, which generally means being offline (except at NAB) and unable to email. :/

I realise you guys aren't doing this for money, and I'm sure we are all very grateful to you. But seriously, what can you buy for $4 these days? If I was that short that it mattered, I'd go with the back issues Greg offered. :dodgy:
