[CLOSED FOR NEW ORDERS] Bushlite Candle Lamp Group Buy - Round 1

[uncleboob]

I've been on a Beaver camp for the last day and a half doing pesky out door stuff so I am a bit behind on all this now. Can someone please explain the attraction of the UK list to those of us who are past 21 on the list? I was after a brass lamp and do not want anything other than a brass lamp. I notice that even after a day or so still some names have not gone down on the list for numbers below 21. What happens to those low numbers? If I just take one I could be treading on someones toes which I have not interest in doing. At what point do we put our names down on the unused lower numbers?

It's a good point, not sure of the answer really. My thoughts on it were that there were two lists, lots of the guys that wanted a lamp on the other buy (importing) have chosen not to join in on this list...not sure why. This list was to see whether it was feasible to have a uk group buy rather than the import buy which seemed to be getting complicated and expensive. Obviously it's taffs GB so it's up to him but I reckon If there's a space and you're interested put your name in a space...come to think of it I'm quite happy with my two reds, I'm at number 10 for brass if you want that slot?

I'd like a cheap bushlite, this route seems the best chance of getting one, not sure either option is going to work out!

Thanks Unclebob. I may well take you up on that and put my name at number 10 and see how that goes until the next derailment.

UK GROUP BUY LIST[/COLOR]

I think this is the uk list at it currently stands, so they'd be 9 spare brass ones ( £20.40+ postage? ), 20 red ones ( £14.40 + postage? ) and 23 blue ones ( £14.40 + postage?). It's still a great deal but I'm guessing that for Taff to go ahead he'll need a few more names than that.

Hi All,

Forgive me if I go quiet for a couple if nights...going for a camp. I will pick up when I can. If you could negotiate between you what the consensus on the best option going forwards is then I will sort when I back.

Have a great weekend all!

The group buy is nothing to do with me, just trying to help it along by following taffs request

Just to clarify what is going on with this group buy. The OP is away in the woods and suggested before he went that we organise among ourselves and decided if we wanted to go with a new UK based option.

The import option was looking particularly shaky and increasingly expensive. An offer was made by an UK based ex-distributor to supply his remaining stock as long as we bought all the brass and a reasonable chunk of the painted.


The current list is focusing on securing names for the UK option. There are a few slots left for the brass ones and we also need to commit to more of the painted ones.

The painted ones are excellent value and probably better suited for outdoor use as they take less looking after and are significantly lighter etc. This lantern design is better made than the UCO and much cheaper to run as it uses standard household candles.

For practical value and use the painted ones are excellent, for those that want to spend more for Bushcraft bling then the brass is available.

As it has been a few days now I suggest those at the top of the original list have had opportunity to switch to the UK option and that it should now be opened up to anyone so that the order can be secured.

I'm guessing that our orders will be posted directly to us from the UK distributer.

There was a suggestion that there may be a future import buy from Bushlite if this one was a success. I suspect this will be a significantly more expensive option but will give a little more choice over lamp type and accessories.

Please put your names down on the list with your preferences. Hopefully the OP (Taff) can then get the ball rolling and those on the list will end up with a nifty bit of practical Bushcraft kit at a good price.

Hi all,

I logged on to find this has gone way beyond my understanding and the prices have gone up beyond what I want to pay. I was on the import list (option one - which looks like it has been cancelled as an option) for a brass one but would like to remove my place please (Kawasemi - numbers 16 and 17). I am not on the UK distributer list.

So (disappointingly) I am out. Thanks to the OP for giving this his best shot and good luck to all - I hope you all get the ones you want.

K

(I don't even dare to copy the list in case I copy the wrong one If some kind soul/OP could remove me please)

 

[plastic-ninja]

I'm going to add my name to this list too.I'd really only want the two brass ones I originally put in for but I'm ok to take a red one too if it helps.One of the brass was for a gift and I can use the red one for that too.I'll take a blue one if someone wants a red one rather than have them drop out.
I hope it does happen as Taffinch has put in a lot of time & effort on it.
Cheers. Simon

Think the brass ones are the same price on both deals (£23)...but you'd get them quicker as they're in the uk already! Looks like there's still a couple of brass places on the list if you're still interested, cheers Joab

Yep, the price is about the same for the brass between the original import quote and the UK option. The trouble was the import option was going up due to duty and courier admin charges. The UK option is cheap, quick and predictable.

There are five slots left for brass or eight slots if more of those on the original list still want one and therefore it is a one each deal.

The red and blue versions are a bargain. Snap'em up while you can.

I've been on a Beaver camp for the last day and a half doing pesky out door stuff so I am a bit behind on all this now. Can someone please explain the attraction of the UK list to those of us who are past 21 on the list? I was after a brass lamp and do not want anything other than a brass lamp. I notice that even after a day or so still some names have not gone down on the list for numbers below 21. What happens to those low numbers? If I just take one I could be treading on someones toes which I have not interest in doing. At what point do we put our names down on the unused lower numbers?

Not a beaver camp in Essex I take it?

Seems I was a little slow here!... never mind, if this is going ahead I will have a coloured one and a bag and a clip.........

Hi all,

I logged on to find this has gone way beyond my understanding and the prices have gone up beyond what I want to pay. I was on the import list (option one - which looks like it has been cancelled as an option) for a brass one but would like to remove my place please (Kawasemi - numbers 16 and 17). I am not on the UK distributer list.

So (disappointingly) I am out. Thanks to the OP for giving this his best shot and good luck to all - I hope you all get the ones you want.

K

(I don't even dare to copy the list in case I copy the wrong one If some kind soul/OP could remove me please)

Same here - I seem to have missed out on the UK based one and if everyone is now going down the UK route, there's neither enough to go around nor is there enough now to run the import list??? Anyway, I can't really go around again and say they're up in price again having agreed the original increase in price.

Thanks for trying for the group buy, these are a real pain to organise and I suspect you've spent a lot of time on it.

Just to make you guys aware the UK dealer does not carry any extras in the way of stands, Mozzy clips and citronella candles so those need to be deleted from the list.

Hi All,

Back from camp now and will try to pick the thread up as soon as I can.

Cheers,
Matt.

Hi Prester,

The UK supplier does carry some accessory stock:

18 x Bushlite Long Life Candles Pk of 6 £3.60

23 x Deluxe Carry Bag £6.60

26 x H-BUSH-REFL Reflector £2.71

...but not the Mozzy clips or stands as far as I know.

Cheers,
Matt.
