ok guys, just this minute had a reply from ths (my email got overlooked apparently)
anyway, they said they would rather just offer a forum discount than do a group buy, they said they would so the shifter for £50 + postage which is £8 off, roughly 15%
they said this way people can order one when ever they have the money rather than doing a one off order, so im assuming if anyone is interested they can contact ths (best to ring) stating they are a member on here, i considered asking for bulk postage but i dont think this would save us any money, paying for postage to one address then additional postage to individual addresses
and plus karlharcourt has posted about the forge shifter so people may opt for that one?
