Title: Grab bag of Blue Cube USB adapters
Post by: Half-Saint on Fri, 22 July 2011, 18:16:16

I'm selling a bunch of Blue Cube USB adapters. Price is 5eur each + shipping. Registered mail will cost more.

Shipping cost table (qty/price):
1 (<100g) / 1.8eur
2-4 (<250g) / 3.5eur
5+ / ask

If I can squeeze two Blue Cubes under 100g, the price is the same as for 1 BC. Last shipment went out in medium sized envelope and ended up weighing 106g.

Above prices are for standard airmail + the cost of a bubble-wrap envelope.

Send money via paypal (as a gift if at all possible) to bojan.kotur [at] gmail.com . In the subject, put Blue Cube - GH username. In the body of the message, please include number of adapters and your mailing address.

In case you can't send it as a gift, here is an example how to calculate the correct amount to send:
1x Blue Cube = 5€
postage = 1.8€
total = 6.8€
total to send = 6.8€ * 1.1 = 7.5€

Any questions just ask.

Cheers

Just fixed the original post to show the actual price of the item. It might have been confusing to start with.

Just to remind other potential buyers to send payment as gift - postage quoted is actual postage + the cost of a bubblewrap envelope. Thanks for understanding.

In case you can't send it as a gift, here is an example how to calculate the correct amount to send:
1x Blue Cube = 5€
postage = 1.8€

Shipped several shipments today only to realize I screwed up with the postage. When calculating postage I forgot to take into account the weight of the envelope. Anyway, I will re-calculate cost where neccessary and fix the price table. All orders that already shipped will be unaffected by this since it was my own fault.

All of my Blue Cubes are NIB. I can however remove the original packaging to save some weight and also to make the package less bulky. Up to the buyer to decide. If it was up to me, I'd sell them w/o original packaging.

Wouldn't paypal do that automatically once you choose the target as euros?

Could you please check it in the windows-device manager?
You can find it in USB-Controller -> USB Root-Controller

I'd like to give it a try. Do you also accept payment via Bank-Transfer (IBAN/BIC)? I don't like paypal very much.
If so, please send me your details via PM and the amount of money for one piece. Thanks!

I still haven't got mine. US to Canada mail is unbelievably slow! I've gotten things from China in 4 business days, yet it takes a month to get something from the US.

I got mine too, thanks Half-Saint. ;)

Title: Grab bag of Blue Cube USB adapters
Post by: mr_a500 on Thu, 11 August 2011, 05:19:26

I finally got mine. Thanks Half-Saint!

I forgot it was coming from Slovenia. I thought it was coming from the US (hence my tirade against the US postal system). I must have got it mixed up with my Belkin adapter, which came from the US. That one did take exactly one month to arrive. The blue cube took less than 3 weeks from Slovenia. (so.. I guess my tirade against the US postal system still stands :wink:)

I might have to order another one. How many do you have left?

Title: Grab bag of Blue Cube USB adapters
Post by: Half-Saint on Thu, 11 August 2011, 06:07:07

I don't know really.. maybe 10

Hey there...  No hurry on my side.  I'll be back soon to my place (in one week) so starting from the next week-end you can ship me the two that you have on hold for me : )

I think paypal can go jump. But really, if that started happening to bunches of people I think we'd just switch to some other service instead. Paypal is only used at all because it's assumed that everyone already has an account. They just can't steal from people if they do those things which is why they even would be against the ToS.

You must have done something on an even grander scale than Half-Saint has so far though for them to have even noticed. That or you just got lucky.

Hi, Half-Saint.

I'd like to buy two additional blue cubes. I've already wrote you a PM, maybe you didn't see it.

Just a friendly warning telling people to do this may get your PayPal account locked. Gift payments (and asking people to pay more because of fees) are against PayPal's ToS. I got into hot water because of it.

 
Thanks for the warning, I wasn't aware of it myself. iMav does it for all his Geekhack key orders so I thought this was normal practice. Especially since PayPal isn't cheated for their fees. I could have of course simply raised the price of the Blue Cubes but it never occured to me until now.
