Group Purchase: GE 9325k 55w Power Compact bulbs

GulfCoastAquarian · 07-30-2003, 09:31 PM

It seems there is considerable interest in the GE 9325K bulbs from 1000bulbs.com so I am going to go ahead and organize this order. You guys can paypal me at gulfcoastaquarian@yahoo.com but not yet. I am going to finalize the order through 1000bulbs and let you guys know the total.

So far I have seven people with expressed interest (assuming 2 bulbs each):
1 2x SNPiccolo
2 4x Rex Grigg
3 2x Marcel
4 2x Doomer
5 2x GulfCoastAquarian
6 2x Crocodylus
7 2x Mike-Momotaro
8 2x clearASmud
9 2x Jay Luto
10 2x kutothe
11 2x anonapersona
12 4x digger
Total: 28 (as of 8-4-03 12:00pmCDT)

The price Al quoted is $18.96 plus freight (should be between $10-$15) so we can assume $2 each for frieight plus actual shipping costs from Long Beach, MS 39560 to your home. USPS Priority is $3.85 if it stays under a pound ($5.05 for two lbs). Insurance is $1.30 to insure for $40.

So worst case, 2 lb USPS Priority, total will be (for two bulbs):
$18.96 x 2 = $37.92
+ $2 freight = $39.92
+ USPS Priority Mail with Insurance = $46.27

This group purchase is now closed.

If there are no takers for the other 4 I could take 2 more for a total of 4 for myself.

Marcel

Rex Grigg · 07-30-2003, 10:39 PM

I would take 4.

m.lemay · 07-30-2003, 10:41 PM

Let rex take the 4 and I'll stick to my 2. Unless you think you, might get an extra case.

Momotaro · 07-30-2003, 10:51 PM

Great deal happening here! DRs. Foster and Smith are about $35 per bulb!

crocodylus · 07-30-2003, 11:10 PM

I think the minimum order was 6, not in 6 by 6 batches, if im not mistaken

LIST:

1 2x SNPiccolo
2 2x Rex Grigg
3 2x Marcel
4 2x Doomer
5 2x GulfCoastAquarian
6 2x Crocodylus
7 2x Mike-Momotaro
8 2x clearASmud

GulfCoastAquarian · 07-31-2003, 02:29 PM

Yes, 6 is the minimum order. We've achieved that, we can order as many as you want now. A whole case is 25, so if we get there, we might actually get a discount. Not sure about that, though, I'll ask the salesman.

Sam,

Do you have a link to that bulb ?

GulfCoastAquarian · 07-31-2003, 07:18 PM

1000bulbs.com doesn't normally stock it. It is a special order. To get to the Product Spec Sheet on the GE website, click this link
GE Product Search

And type in 45859 in the Product Code e-catalog Product Search box.

jerseyjay · 08-01-2003, 12:14 AM

I will take 2 bulbs

GulfCoastAquarian · 08-01-2003, 02:22 PM

I'll go ahead and leave this open through the weekend and place the order on Monday. Once again, do not send payment until I've placed the order.
