Had a few PM's/Emails about another run on the IID BT
Will update the other forums tomorrow, unless someone beats me to it. It usually happens
Register your interest here, for numbers. Don't expect sub-£300 prices
Please, no more PM's about this just now. I'm struggling to get through the ones I already have!
Group buy has been handed over to Dan @ Duckworths
Enquiries and payment should be directed to him: http://disco3.co.uk/forum/member-duckworthparts.html My D3 Build Thread

Very tempted Mikey, but am waiting to see if I still have a job at the end of the month, hence why my D3 is up in the For Sale section.........
When do you think you will finalise the purchase?

Cheapest LRDirect will do is £324.50 + VAT as per their website price. They offered no discount at all
Island 4x4 have come back with £325 + VAT
Neither are willing to do a better price than that, which is a little disappointing My D3 Build Thread

Thanks for checking Disco_Mikey, much appreciated taking time out of your very busy schedule
Their sale figures must be good considering they aren't willing to give any discount at all on a groups buy of potentially 20 units
Cheers,
Johan

I guess it's all down to the profit margin at the end of the day. If it gets up close to 'The Magic' 30 mark (Is that the magic number?) I might add my name. I've resisted up to now as my Pooter skills are quite easily matched by your average 5 year old, but as these things have become more popular maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks Discovery 4 HSE

You would have thought for an order of almost 30 units they could have offered a 10-15% discount
Yes profit margin plays but if you can sell 30 units in one go you should reduce your margin slightly and go for higher turnover giving a higher total profit in the end!
Thanks again for trying Mike, cheers,
Johan

Is there any chance of Pat from GAP getting involved and offering the supplier a discount from his end that can be passed on to the group buy?
