US Airforce Fishing & Trapping Kit group buy

[Stuart]

Oh, the item seems to have vanished from the Tregor site, minutes after I mentioned that.

Maybe the owner prowls this place and saw us talking about his old shop. :bluThinki

Actually Its more straightforward than that, whilst visiting my family yesterday I took the opportunity to mention to the members of my family who owned Tregor when it was trading that they really should pull the website down since they have closed the business.

he explained that there was still a very small number of the knives still in stock which they would like to shift and were leaving the website up as they would still sell what they had left to anyone who called.

I pointed out that if that was the case they should at least remove the stuff they didn’t have stock of any more, such as the Speedhooks.

I've waited till this has finished so as not to upset Stuart but if you missed out on the group buy of these things then you could just order them direct from a chap called Randy over in the states (he owns speedhook).
I got three off him last year direct and with the exchange rate they worked out a bit cheaper than the group buy!!!!!

Here's his site:

Hope that helps any that missed this group buy

Cheers,

Bam.

Hello Bam, its nice to see you still read the BCUK forums regulary

Its good of you to help out, but unfortunatly you are mistaken. The link you show is the civilian version of the speedhook, the military version is on the another page of the site here

You’ll notice that they are $9.95, which at the current exchange rate is £4.99, but of course that doesn’t include shipping them to the UK.

Since the price on this group buy is £5.00 (which includes postage) they are actually cheaper here than ordering them from the states and with a lot less hassle (also they used to be £10 when they were available in the UK!!)

:11doh: Ah that makes more sense lol. Didn't realise that it was your shop. Certainly didn't sound like that in your last post.

Not mine, but it used to be a belong to a member of my family. Which where I got the details of the manufacturer to set up a group buy.

which "last post" did it certainly not sound like?

Fair enough, I stand corrected Still useful for any that missed your group buy to know they can still get their grubby mits on them

Cheers,

Bam.

Don't worry Stu, all makes sense now.

I was refering to this post

"Yes the same ones, Tregor used to be the only place in the UK you could get them.
But though they don’t do them anymore and the company has ceased trading as far as I am aware"

then the item disspeared from the site, so thought the owner must have removed it after seeing the thread. Then you explained your family had owned the store and you had told them about it.

So it all fell into place.

still awaiting payment from 4 people, if your name is not highlighted as paid on this list please contact me

 

[Stuart]

I dont want to start knocking people of the list because they havent paid yet, as I'm not sure if the post strike has been part of the delay.

but I am also aware that people who have paid are waiting.

So I have decided to go ahead and cash the cheques that have arrived and get them out ASAP.

I will then wait untill the 20th of july for the outstanding payments, after which date I will request new 'buyers' for the remaining number

 

[Stuart]

I have posted out the speed hook orders of the following people today:

Four people have failed to pay for their order, and as per my previous post the deadline has now passed and their orders have been cancelled.

[mayfly]

Got mine today. Curious, clever things. And lethal! Would be highly effective at setting the hook I should think!! Has anyone re-hydrated the bait? Wondering about that! Thanks, Stuart

 

[godfather]

Got mine over the weekend. Many thanks for arranging the buy. What a great and clever bit of kit.

 

[Wayland]

Mine just arrived. Very clever bit of kit.

Time to repack my PSK

 

[Moff8]
