Thats 4 people that might be interested, including myself. I'll check back later this week an see if we can get some more

$30, eh? Maybe a black one won't hurt. I'm in NZ tho...

 

[Rednamalas1]

I could use another 2 black and silver ones...GB sounds like a wonderful idea.

 

[Granthos]

I would hold off on the order if a group buy insues.
How much would the GB cost be, and who wants to front the money up?
I can send my payment early if needed to help cover the shipping costs.

...I fell in love with the rotring at first glance. But I don't know if I can justify its purchase... I usually write in ink these days, and I have no idea how it fairs as a drawing pencil.

Well, it's not like it takes a special kind of 0.5 lead only.

My current sketch book and Staedtler Mars 780 go everywhere with me. I only use this pencil!

^ I may get a sketchbook soon...drawing on top of my notes during class isn't the most productive value.

I asked for a price quote for 2 and it came out to be about 52 bucks. ~20 bucks/pencil and 12 dollars for shipping. So it seems that its 9 + 3 x (number of pencils) for shipping.

I'm interested in one of these Rotrings, for what it's worth. I expected the price to be closer to $100 for all the praise it's getting. Count me in for the group buy.

 

[Rednamalas1]

who is responsible for this group buy?

wouldn't it be easier to do it by region (to save on re-shipping costs)?

ie, one person responsible for north american group buy - one for europe one for aussie/NZ etc etc

 

[jinp6301]

that sounds good. We wouldnt save shipping costs if we had one person for the entire world I wouldnt mind doing it for NA if people dont mind paying up front (I dont have enough money to pay in advance )

Sounds good

I think the multi-buy based on location is a good idea.

Meat01 sent me a PM saying he was interested in one so add him to the list too

On a side note: good grief that shipping is fast, I ordered yesterday, today it shipped an its already out of Japan an scheduled to be here by Friday. wowzers

 

[fordgtlover]

I think there's only the two of us from Aus/NZ. I can't see that there would be much to gain from a GB of two. But, I can see the point of not having to reship from the US. Either way, unless there's a discount on the pencils themselves, there's probably little savings for jonathanjong and I.

 

[Granthos]

I am in for two pencils on the group buy. Also, I am in the US.
