MONEY!
I've provisionally calculated costs using a little minor spreadhseet-fu, calculating proportion of the price pre-postage in euros and using that to find the appropriate cost in pounds. This has a side-effect of splitting the postage between us as a function of the amount of stuff we're buying.
Moneys are as follows:
Pufferfish: £32.33
Jim: £99.06
Andy (added to order from IRC conversation): £40.42
I'll start actually discussing how to pay once I've got hold of the stuff and checked everything's in order; if somethng's broken or doesn't fit or whatever, I'll get in touch and we can sort something out.
UPDATE HARDER (that's what she said): Order has been deployed.
UPDATE: It being the 22nd, I'm intending to put the order in tomorrow. Dive in quick if anyone else wants anything, sorry about the suddenness and stuff...
MorkaisChosen is intending to get clanky bits! It seems sensible to see if anyone else also wants to do something similar.
MorkaisChosen is after the following:
Greaves and vambarces: https://www.mytholon.com//product_info.php?products_id=2790&cPath=&osCsid=a1530fb060dcd66c7ca6de431f5874f4
Gorget: https://www.mytholon.com//product_info.php?products_id=1972&cPath=&osCsid=a1530fb060dcd66c7ca6de431f5874f4
Spaulders: probably these, though the smaller version is a possibility: https://www.mytholon.com//product_info.php?products_id=1040&cPath=&osCsid=a1530fb060dcd66c7ca6de431f5874f4
Mail: https://www.mytholon.com//product_info.php?products_id=94&cPath=1_57&osCsid=a1530fb060dcd66c7ca6de431f5874f4
Notably, there's a Christmas deal for the greaves, vambraces, gorget and the smaller version of the pauldrons; this will make things significantly cheaper if someone's after those, or the weapons in it: https://www.mytholon.com//product_info.php?products_id=3409&cPath=1_55&osCsid=a1530fb060dcd66c7ca6de431f5874f4
- Pufferfish has arranged to take the spaulders from this off MorkaisChosen's hands :)
What date are you doing the order? --Chevron
- Not yet entirely decided; probably in the new year, so it gets to somewhere near Cambridge while I'm also somewere near Cambridge... MorkaisChosen
I'd be interested in the dagger and shortsword -- Salavant
- Note that these seem to be the injection moulded type rather than the usual weapons we have. I'm not really sure whether either is preferable or how they are different though. --Chevron
- I got exactly that deal last year. The weapons are indeed injection moulded. This means they are relatively large for their size, if that makes sense - you don't get the narrow nicely crafted stuff you can get from handmade foam. The weighting is quite crude: irrelevant for the dagger, and not too much of an issue on the shortsword, but again, you won't get pretty hilt-weighting here. There's an off-chance the core will be misplaced in the weapon, which will make it completely unsafe. Finally the grips tend to be a little squishy, but again, not too bad on the shorts. They're usable but not fantastic, basically (I ended up giving the dagger away, and currently have the shortsword sans grip (I was going to replace it) if anyone wants a project. --Tea
- Hmm. Less interested, now. -- Salavant
- If you don't want 'em, I'm happy to absorb another sword... --MorkaisChosen
- I'd be interested in getting possibly this (http://www.goo.gl/f48Qm), but definitely this cape deal: (http://www.goo.gl/qcIPt). Since that'll add a fair bit to your order, do you want the money in advance? --Jim
- I've got enough floating around to cover it, as long as I get it reasonably promptly in the new year. MorkaisChosen
- Ok, put me down for both then. I'll be back on the 3rd, can get you the cash any time then. --Jim
- As I did't specify cloak colour, what one did you end up ordering? Will I be Beardy Red LARPing Hood? -Jim
- Interested in a pile of stuff I'll put down in a day or two, will only be able to pay post student loan infusion (can work out something if necessary). Will be on the order of Eur130. --Tea
- Or not, surprise order of surpriseness. There will be another late jan then...
- Sorry, wanted to make sure I hit the Offer of Many Cheapnesses on the plate. I stuck a thing on the top, but it's easy to miss. --MC
- That's fine. I'm not after any of the christmas deals, so eating personal shipping isn't that bad. What was shipping, ooi? --T
- 16.90Euro. --MC
