Speedcubing in Melbourne

What about the 3x3 Blindfolded times.

It looks like most of the Australian records are gonna get beaten.

I think the 3x3 BLD times are between 2min and 3min30...

tim, i will definately buy a comp timer from you whenever you are buying them. i have always wanted to get a comp timer to plug into my computer to use with cct. this is a great oportunity for me to get one for not that much money. when are you planning to get them?

Probably mid to late November if there's enough to order. Minimum 10 items to qualify as a group order with free shipping to AUS. So I'll need a few people interested to place the order. :-)

Tim.
 
Here's the list of people interested in buying a timer/mat:
Tim 2
Feliks 1
Matt 1
Michael 1
Ninja 1
Paul 1
Rawn? 1

There's 8 so far and we need a minimum of 10 items to qualify as a group order. As soon as we hit or pass 10 I'll place the order :-)

Here's an brief price comparison:
Timer & Mat via NZ Speedstacks (individual) =~ NZD$57.90 + NZD$10 shipping
*AUD$59.29
Timer & Mat via NZ Speedstacks (group) = NZD$52.90 + free shipping
*AUD$46.19
Timer & Mat via Cube4You (group) =~ USD$40 + $x shipping
*AUD$59.75 + shipping

Anyone else come across better prices?

Tim.

Hi All,

We've enough to place the order. But first I'd like to confirm a few things before placing the order:
- Do you want a Generate 2 Timer (data port/memory) and full size Mat?
- What's your name if you haven't specified already?
- Would you like to get one from me in person or pay to have it posted to you?
- Are you able to pay? I.e. youngins who might not have a job

Here's the list:

MELBOURNE
Tim McMahon
Matthew Wanstall
Feliks Zemdegs
Xuan Pei
Mingren Lu
Wenliang Cai
Sidney Tarray

SYDNEY
Nicholas Chen
aznblur*

People: 9
Timers & Mats: 10
Total order: NZD$529 ~ AUD$462

I'm a bit concerned about the Sydney orders and the youngins. I don't want to end up with spare timers laying around lol :-P I'll place it after everyone's confirmed :-)

Tim.
 
Feliks Zemdegs - definitely will pay cash upfront.

Confirmed

O and Tim, Nick is coming to the Aussie Open 09, and anzblur will be down in melbourne in January, so you can collect their money then.
 
Next Meet: Saturday 8th of November 1pm

Same place :-)

Tim.

same place as in melb central right?

Probably cant make it, i dont think my parents would approve of me going there by myself. My mum said i need to cut down on my cubing, so no, i dont think i will make it.

while youre there, tell the people about the comp on Sat.

Yup, Melbourne Central. People who show up probably went to the comp lol

Ahah crap :( I forgot about the last one, and this one is on my girl's birthday ... not sure how she would feel about me ditching her for some cube nuts :P
 
Hi All,

With just 10 items it turns out that shipping will be NZD$52.60 so that's an additional NZD$5.26 (AUD$4.56) for each item. There appears to be only free shipping with larger orders (i.e. $2,000 worth of products).

Timer + Shipping = NZD$34.95 + NZD$5.26 = NZD$40.21 (~AUD$34.86)
Timer & Mat + Shipping = NZD$52.90 + NZD$5.26 = NZD$58.16 (~AUD$50.42)

Please Note:
The shipping here is from NZ to my place and not after distribution.
I'll probably use paypal which may attract slightly higher rates as they typically use a crap conversion (i.e. today 1 USD buys 69 AUD but they probably have it listed as 64).

So depending on the conversion rate you're probably looking at:
Timer ~ AUD$35-37
Timer & Mat ~ AUD$51-55

Is this ok or does anyone want to back out? Please confirm. I'll place the order once everyone is happy.

Kind Regards,
Tim.
