I've decided to put together a Quail Power cord group buy.
The Quail Power Cord is the exact same power cord as the Iron Lung Jellyfish that is commonly available for $39 each. This is a 300% mark-up on the price direct from Quail electronics. For quantities 1-49 the price I was quoted is $9.73. There is a $50 minimum purchase and I am going to be buying 5-6 of these so I will reach the minimum purchase amount on my own.
To read a review of the power cord check out this thread.
Here is the link to the Quail Power Cord
The quote I received is for part number 0313.072 which is the 6 ft model with a 15 Amp rating and 14ga conductors. I can any of the following lengths: 2ft, 4ft, 6ft, 8ft, 10ft, 20ft or 25ft. I do not have a quoted price for the other lengths yet, but if you are interested in a length other than 6 ft, let me know and I will find out the price for it.
I have done a group buy before. I organized the Silver Wire Group Buy a few years ago. It was an incredible amount of work and I probably spent at least 80+ hours on the task. This time I am asking that anyone who buys in this group buy to add $1-2 per cord for time and effort to make this work. This is a completely voluntary cost, however I don't think anyone will have a problem with it. If you are short on cash you don't need to pay it.
Basically I am going to run this similar to the last time I did a group buy.
1) I am going to take requests from February 27th until March 8th.
2) From March 8th to March 10th I expect all initial paypal payments to be placed. This initial payment is the cost of however many cords you ordered.
3) Once I receive the cords I will package them in large Tyvek envelopes and mail them using US Mail.
4) After you have received the power cords I expect a paypal payment for the cost of shipping and the voluntary cost for my effort if you should choose to include it.

If there is an overwhelming amount of demand I may extent the order dates, but hopefully this will be a manageable size group buy.
NOTE: PLEASE POST YOUR ORDERS IN THIS THREAD INSTEAD OF SENDING ME PRIVATE MESSAGES
I have posted this group buy on Head-Fi and SteveHoffman.tv. Please only place an order in only one of these forums if you happen to belong to both.
