Neptune Mini Spool Group Buy

Ok so I was thinking about doing this earlier & then saw someone mention it so I figured I get the ball rolling. This is what I figured the price would be including shipping to you & cover the payal fee when you transfer money to me.

Qty -- Price -- price per spool -- Price per spool direct
1 -- $16.44 -- $16.44 -- $23.50
2 -- $27.78 -- $13.89 -- $15.75
3 -- $39.12 -- $13.04 -- $13.17
6 -- $73.15 -- $12.19 -- $13.08
7 -- $84.49 -- $12.07 -- $12.36


Ok so the number in bold is the price you would send me, the last two columns are comparing price from the group buy to buying direct. Also shipping will be priority mail & I am not making a dime on this just figure I offer. If you want 4,5,8, or 9 spools its cheaper to buy direct. Hope this makes sense.

PM me if interested.

Here is who we have getting spools so far. I am going to end this on Friday March 20th, so don't miss out. Also I am a going to order a 1lb spool of #24 line and spool each spool with 30' of line for a small additional cost (about another $1.15per spool), but we will worry about that after I place the spool order.

Screen Name -------- Qty
atedesch ------------- 4
tekdiver07 ------------ 3
cfreer ---------------- 3
jfylnn ---------------- 6
mac ----------------- 2 (pending payment)
NorthWoodsDiver ----- 5 (pending payment)
litehedded ----------- ? (pending payment)

Don't worry about my 3, I have so much line laying around it will be good to get rid o some of it.

Thanks for doing this, very nice deal.

Cliff

Thanks for your work on this, please allow me a few days extra to make some more, I just got another big order (over 100) and will ship them asap, so don't go crazy if they take a couple of days longer than normal please :)

by the way, I got the prove they work fine, we used some in a virgin cave down here with DaveP :D

just as a note, they work best with the smallest SS double enders, they are made for that, the brass are ok but a little tight.

Here is who I have down for reels. If you want to place an order remember to pay before Friday. I will be placing the final order on Friday. My paypal is atedesch@gmail.com

Thanks,
Ant

Sent payment for 6. No line needed. I have plenty laying around here. Thanks for putting this together, Ant!

The spools are complete and on there way to me. They shipped out yesterday, and should be to be within 15 days. Once I recieve them, I will ship them out asap.

Thanks,
Ant

Can these still be ordered?

send me a pm with what u want and ill see wat i can do.

hey guys, I need to appologize with you, the spools got back yesterday to my house for some weird mail mistake, so, they are being resent today or tomorrow, I got already a confirmation of the shipping address.

so don't worry, they are going to be there but just late because the mail problems.

so, I'm sorry again, but I'll post sometime some video of my minispools in a virgyn cave just to make you more ancious

Spools have arrived, I will get them out on Friday.

uff.......
I was worried about that...

I'm very sorry, I don't know what happened here with the mail, the very first minis I sent I had the same problem, the guy pushed me to make them, then everybody got spools and he was still waiting...

I hope you guys find them useful :)

I have been using these mini spools and they are great for a lot of the jumps I have been doing. So I wanted to see if anyone was interested in getting in on another group buy. I would assume same price as last time but I would have to double check.

But lets see what kind of interest we have and how many you are interested in.

ill take 2

let me know with time please, just sold all I had

I hopefully will have a few in the next few days if anyone is looking....and I'll be in FL cave country for sure in a week or two.
Steve

I'd like to pick up 3 or 4 of the mini spools. What is the fastest way for me to get them and how long will it take?

Thanks,
Paul

Call Amigos Dive Center. They had a few in stock, and can ship them.
http://www.amigosdivecenter.com/

was going to say the same thing as FW but as usual, he beat me to it! Also, Piranha Dive Mfg has them....I'm awaiting a shipment of some of them that I ordered on 26 September but unfortunately have not arrived as of today - 30 October. Cristian has been very responsive throughout but this mail thing between the US and Argentina...I just don't know.

maybe...but the spools come from his dad in Argentina (or at least that's what he told me several times). In fact, I was going on a trip to Argentina and we discussed arranging for a pickup.

yeah they come from argentina, shipping takes a bit, and i think they had to make more. if you are going to buy more then four its cheaper to go direct to them. Amigos and pirahna have them fun its only cheaper to get one or two from them. I just bought a large quanity for the group by which saved on shipping and allowed to keep the price down even with reshipping in USPS flat rate enevelopes. I maybe getting a few more if anyone is interested but does not look like I have the interest. If you look at one of my first post you can see the price break down.

they don't have any more because I purchased 50.

atedeschi, I took the earlier advice and just ordered 3 of the spools from Wayne, but I can always use 2 more, if you place an order.

Paul

Hi guys, there are like 50 spools located in the US if somebody wants them, looks like whodunit is who has them :)

so, shipping will be really fast and looks like he is more at cave county than home so, should be able to deliver I guess

thanks Neptuno.
due to unforeseen circumstances (plus I'm leaving the country), I actually have more than 50.
I'll be in High Springs/Luraville 18, 19, and 20 December and I'm currently located in NJ.
Once we figure out pricing, I'll post it.

ok looks like they'll be about $10 each (no double ender or line) plus shipping from 07035 (the shipping from Argentina is covered). I'll gladly delivery to cave country in FL if I'm around (which, as it happens, I will be in around 18/19/20 December, 2009, in High Springs/Luraville).

folks 7 are gone overnight...if you want in, I suggest you do it soon.
I am not making money on these (this was a postal flop so I have too many) so if you'd like, I'm happy to take paypal but either you cover the 3% please or do a transfer and pay the 50 cents/$1 to send it.

At $10 each, I'll take 5 and meet you in High Springs/Luraville.

ok....you have the dates. I'll likely be staying by Wayne's place (likely across the street). My flight actually gets in Thursday night late to Jax...I'll be departing Monday night. pick a time.
Steve

I'll take 5, too. How much for shipping to 02451?

if you're comfortable with USPS Priority mail, I just shipped 3 off in the small box for $5. If you want delivery confirmation, signature confirmation, or any other service, let me know or just check usps.com. I'm not profiting on the shipping either.

Many of you have asked - my paypal is stevemann@optonline.net. Please remember, I'm not making any profit on this so please do a transfer and pay the fee or up the amount by 3% to cover PayPal fees.

Cash is accepted in FL (or NJ where I am now) with identification. kidding.

$55 and address sent with Paypal.

Thanks!

Ron

FYI: After using this for a few months I recommend drilling the holes out one size larger it makes it easier to slide the line through.

ok Ron...I'll get them out first thing tomorrow and you'll have in 2-3 days via USPS. I'll email you the label # (no tracking for USPS priority but they do have a label).
have fun with them. any questions about the spools themselves, Cristian has been VERY responsive to me.

BTW: Paypal lets you select between "Purchase" and "Personal" when you send money. If you select "Personal", no fees for either sender or recipient...

right, I should have been clearer. when I said "transfer," you have to click personal then be sure "transfeR" is selected. thanks for making that clear!!!
Steve

just to give an update...22 of the first 50 are paid & shipped or otherwise spoken for...within about 24-30 hours.

new update - down to 22 of the first 50...for obvious reasons, they're going quickly. If anyone missed it, I'll be in High Springs/Luraville next weekend (17, 18, 19, 20 Dec). I'm bringing a few for those who requested them...I'm not hauling extras so if you're interested in saving the shipping, let me know before I leave on Thursday.

Whodunit, I just PayPalled you $55.00 for five and shipping. I used the "Personal" tab so you shouldn't be charged a fee. If this isn't correct, let me know.

yes sir I got it, thanks. I'm going to pm you to verify address and if I hurry, I can get it out today.

Total hijack here: are PayPal users aware of the "Personal" tab? Had I known about it this past summer when I used PayPal to buy a used scooter I could have saved $90.

I thought there was a way to avoid the 3% fee if you were taking money out of your own PayPal account, but I couldn't figure out how. So I had to pay $3,090 instead of $3,000 so the seller wouldn't be out the 3%.

When you go to "Send Money" there is a box below "Amount" where you can choose from two tabs, "Purchase" and "Personal." As stated earlier, if you have the money in your account and use "Personal," the seller doesn't have to pay the 3% fee.

After reading yesterday's posts, I decided that picking up a couple more mini-spools for myself and few to give as Xmas gifts (divers are easy to buy for) would be a good idea.

Now the best part, after PM'ing Whodunit68, I found out that he is currently living quite close to my new diggs in NJ. So less than 3 hours later the spools were in my grubby little hands.

Not a bad day, even got my new wireless N 2 Band router hooked up with only a bit of ranting - the internet is mine.

hope the router is up 'n running! thanks for the coffee...
with my move to South America, I'm not going to need these. I'll hold onto a few for myself but I'm going to crack the other box of 50.

So, that means with the 10 left from box #1 and I'll share 40 or so from the original, I'll part with 50 more. Up for grabs, same price here on CDF...not looking to make a profit, just share the savings with my cave diving brethern and bretherenettes (yes, that's a real Steve-word) and save the expense of shipping back to Argentina.

so, started at 100, 40 are gone, I'm keeping 10. 50 left.

and new updated info - it's not only 3% but I've lost a few pennies here and there (now over $1!) because I thought it was 3% but it's 3.427%.

Thanks for sharing this.

Any news on this or a possibility of getting some?

man if you sent this only a few hours earlier. I just landed in northern FL for a weekend of diving before I go back to BrasÃ#l. This is actually only a short stay in BrasÃ#l and I'll be back in NJ on 31 August. If you can wait until then, I can ship some out. Of the 200, I'm down to about 15-20 (I have to check).
I'll be back in Northern Florida the weekend after so can bring some down.
Steve

Well count me in for two. I sent an email to the company

to what company? to Neptuno? He's on the board here too. He ships from Argentina (by the way, while home in BrasÃ#l I might stop by Buenos Aires and maybe can pick up more).
I don't work for the company...I bought a bunch trying to save everyone on shipping, etc.
If you purchase from Neptuno, great. Let me know if you want me to send or bring next time...

Nope I can't wait till next time you can either bring them or ship them. I will gladly deal with you.

ok, I'll drop you a note to confirm probably the day I get back just to be sure.

No prob time frame?

still August 31...I arrive in NY on 31 August. I can ship that day or next or I'll be down the following weekend.

K just let me know how much and how to pay

will do - if I'm shipping, I can fit up to about 6 or 8 in a $5 USPS box...the spools are $10 each. So for 2, with shipping, it's $25. If I'm bringing them, $20. If you do Paypal payment for goods, add the 4%.
I'm doing this at cost for everything - spools, shipping, etc. not a profitable enterprise :) ...thanks!

I can imagine not thanks though

well, argentina is not only buenos aires you know?..:) you night have to drive about 8hs or go in a bus for like 13hs from bs as to pick them up :)

Yes very aware in fact we have spoken about it but frankly didnt think I needed to provide gps coordinates and map of my entire trip in the forum :)

www.proyectomapear.com.ar another project i'm involved and will be very needed if going to argentina, specially buenos aires

I go to Buenos Aires every month, sometimes two. good timing.

there you go, those maps are going to help you a lot
