[GB] $60 60% case (Aluminium) (SHIPPING - 99% DISPATCHED! :O )

[kmiller8]

why?

posted in the wrong thread OuO

[pichu23]

Sweet !!

[Hofy]

Its always been low profile. If you look at the pics on the first page, you can see how much thicker the frame is, much better IMO, almost twice the depth now.

Just waiting on confirmation from Vortex, then I will start getting invoices out.

Low profile?  Count me out as I do not like the exposed switches and plate look.
In the original post you said

This is a simple replacement housing,

.  It was hard to tell from the photo posted, but I was thinking it was  a metal version of the plastic case the Poker comes with.  Sorry.
I guess this frees up one morer case for those who missed out on the order deadline.

[fydo]

I'll take up Hofy's case if the shipping to Canada is $30 or less ...

[kennyk64]

I'm up for the case if there is any extra.

[danny]

I'm not sure yet, all I can get from my supplier is reds at the moment, which are in my store, can't get my hands on other switch options

That's perfect since its the switch type I ordered 

[PandaSPUR]

So to be clear, no new orders are being taken and there MIGHT be extras later?

I'd like some  if possible ):

[pexon]

Orders closed over 2 months ago, so no, no new orders.

As I said, I will be having some for myself and a few I will sell through my store, so there will be extras.

[pexon]

Nope sorry

Sweet baby mangos, yes! This is even better than what I was hoping for. My wallet will be waiting.

[pexon]

haha, I think its a stellar looking case man, for the money, I think you'd struggle to find anything that comes close.

[bueller]

Oh definitely, I'm not super keen on low profile cases but for the price I couldn't care less!

Yup same here.

However my main question is: it is really gonna happen?

[pexon]

Yes it is going to happen, just be patient.

Sorry.

Wasn't there a name list in the OP that stated everybody who placed an order?

I just wanted to make sure that I was on it. It has been quite some time since I submitted my order

You're still on the list. I took the list off the OP as I didn't update it lol

[LechnerDE]

Thanks for the confirmation!

I am really looking forward to this after seeing the latest pics of the case.

[Furority]

Hey pexon, I sent you a pm a while ago but since you haven't responded, I'll just post here.

Basically it said that I want to modify my order to just

1 case
1 4ft cable in reflect black

Removed the poker since I can just purchase it elsewhere (and it seems like you aren't going to be selling them anyway).

[Shinryuu]

Hey, I wonder if I'm still in the list because I cancelled my order couple of months ago around october but I do remember seeing myself in the list after that.

Here's my post (Thu, 10 October 2013):

Awesome news!

Take your time - I think I can speak for everyone that we don't mind if takes a couple of days longer after we waited so long for Vortex to respond

[pexon]

One thing I am thinking of, import duty I may have to pay on such a large shipment. 

[Tym]

Ask them to mark as gift 

[pexon]

A pallet of 200 cases! 

[Skelotic]

Excited that this is finally happening.   

[SpAmRaY]

A pallet of 200 cases! 

Yeah that's probably going to hurt bro....

[pichu23]

damn. hopefully it won't hurt that much. :x

[naasfu]

As I said, I will be having some for myself and a few I will sell through my store, so there will be extras.

Hey pexon, I'd love to buy a case if you happen to have any homeless ones left.  I'd also be interested in getting a couple of your cool cables to go along with it.  Thanks! 

[pexon]

I'll have to sort something out.

damn. hopefully it won't hurt that much. :x

I'll have to do some thinking, as I've done a GB before and I was a fair bit out of pocket. This is on a much larger scale, so the out of pocketness will be even more!

I will be having some leftovers yea, thats not an issue.

Will Vortex ship them to different countries? Packages to Australia under $1000 aren't subject to import duties so I can handle Aus/NZ and possibly some Asian orders if that helps.

[pexon]

we'll have to seee

[distel]

If there are leftovers I will be my plesure to buy one oft those.

[Oobly]

I would love to get one of these with a Poker 2 with Brown switches. I make it to be $166 + Paypal fees ($50 case, $100 Poker, $16 Europe shipping). That's an awesome price for a Poker 2 with aluminium case!

If there are some still left after they go out, of course.

[stancato9]

I may also be interested in one of these cases in the event that you have leftovers. Will they be the same price?

If you look, the order form was taken down a long time ago dude. I also wont be getting any Poker 2s in as I hinted a while back, my supplier can't get any at the moment.

[Oobly]

Ah okay.. I'd love a case then if you have some left. Will you sell them for the original price still?

[agodinhost]

Pexon, please, could you confirm my order?

[v4mp1]

My order of 2 cases is still in right?

[pexon]

All your orders are there dudes, dont worry

[beltet]

So I was recommended this group buy from a user at deskthority. But seems that the GB has ended. But I see that you got a pallet with cases. Would it be possible to buy 1 or 2 cases?
If thats so, how will I do it?
Sincerely

[Pacifist]

I don't think pexon has spares

if he does its going to be in his website

[pexon]

Again, back in the hands of Vortex, I am not going to start invoicing unless I get written confirmation. Also need to have a sit down at the weekend and have a think about the import duty, to me.

Hey Pexon and everyone,

Thanks again for doing the group buy!  The majority of us have been waiting patiently, and we want the cases.  You said that you won't be able to get the Pokers, which is not too much of a problem since Pokers can be gotten elsewhere.  If I was doing this GB, I would also be disappointed to hear about the import duty.  I may be wrong, but if it come down to paying a little more for the cases, then most people probably won't mind.  $60 instead of $50, or something like that.  Anyone agree?

Thanks,
ABTmRw

Yeah I was thinking the same thing this morning. Even a 20% import duty would only be $10 a case and that's still a damn sight cheaper than any other aluminium cases.

[pexon]

Well if people are willing to do that, that would be fricking epic. Import duty IS 20% in these here Great Britains

I'm good with this. Very reasonable imo.

[sth]

yeah that's fine with me, 60 is still a decent price. too much more and it stops being a deal but i think that's still low enough for me
