Slightly different approach here... this is not a group buy for any one item but I am attempting to raise enough buys to make a wholesale purchase from www.gisurplus.co.uk. In a nutshell, the minimum order value is £150 (PLUS VAT and POSTAGE!). Bear in mind, there is a limited unit order (normally 5-10) for each item, hence the group buy. I am specifically interested in the sheepskin lined wool greatcoats (cheapest I found them anywhere else is £79.99) which are £45, and the alpenflage mountain suits (look good for hunting...cheapest I could find them was a set on ebay for total of about £26, or £6.95 wholesale!). However, there are also many other goodies including russian blankets and what looks like '44 pattern mugs. If anyone is interested, post up and I'll see if it's do-able. I will then ask people to commit when I've done the maths. It will make it easiest for me if three people want a coat and a set of camo, but we'll see...

Just a warning about the pizza-cam/alpenflage suit, the hood is designed for use with a helmet, it's massive, and the waterproofing on the legs is a plastic coating that tends to peel off

Another thing about ordering clothing from there is you don't get size choices, it just comes and you get what you're given. However, for kit it might be good. I'll keep my eye on this and see what happens

Thanks for the warning! Didn't even realise there was a plastic coating on them. Never mind, more than enough goodies to buy anyway. Forgot to mention the unissued Bulgarian wool great coats. £50 for five? I'd probably be up for one of them too. Hadn't seen paracord but have now....! Just to reiterate, the prices on the site do not include VAT or postage so add at least 20% - still a bargain though.

Oh yeah, as for sizes, there's no guarantee, but I'd be happy to front the cash and sell to anyone for the break even price if their size was there...

Ok, no problem. Just one I suppose? If people could put how many of what they want, I can work out when we've got a bundle's worth...

Yes, all confirmed. They will deal with me subject to minimum order value. I think it might be best if people put up what they're after and how much it is (pre-VAT). Then as soon as we hit £150, i'll order it. I'll weigh in first with my wool and sheepskin coat - £45....

In the woods if possible.

Put me down for two parachutes, five kilos of the paracord and a pack of the 2mx3m groundsheets.

I could use a couple of the wash bowls (but not ten of them), a couple of large .50 cal ammo boxes but not five, and I'd be pleased to get one of the French tents but I really don't want five of them, so let's see if anyone else wants to chip in.

Happy to send you a cheque whenever you've got your order together. Chutes, cord and groundsheets will post OK. If we start doing ammo boxes then we might need to sort out transport and storage arrangements, but let's see what transpires. Hope you've got plenty of space in your garage... :)

Thanks pal, I make that £87.50 (plus VAT and delivery). Does that tally? I suggest that I get it delivered to whoever has the biggest order maybe? That will minimise postage costs... Don't mind really but just makes sense not to pay twice for postage. Appreciate that people might not want to take that on so happy to do it myself if required.... We'll see what makes up the bulk of order....

That makes sense. In addition, if we do get carried away and it all ends up here, 'here' is a warehouse so temporary storage won't be a problem. :)
