    CLOSED: Group Buy: Insultex material

    This thread is to check interest on a group buy of the Isultex material.

    Discussion Thread Here.

    Received additional information from i.d.i. on the Insultex material.

    I emailed about the availability of the material and received the following reply:

    Yes, the price is $2.25 per linear yd You must purchase it by the roll of 325 yd.
    Joe
    Far too much for me to buy individually.

    If others are interested I would be willing to do a group buy of a roll. It would cost the $2.25/yd + shipping (probably postal being the cheapest). I would prorate the shipping cost to me over the 325 yards.

    I would suggest waiting until guySmiley has been able to do a better cold weather test (hopefully this weekend or next week).

    If his test results indicate that the material is worth investing in, then a group buy could be done.

    I would purchase the full roll and cut off yardage for those who would like some and ship. I will have to understand how paypal works and set up a means of payments through paypal.

    I would personally like about 15 yards. That will leave about 310 yds.

    I would like the purchases to be in 1 yard increments and a minimum of 10 yds ($22.50+postage), that means maybe 30 people who would like some of the Insultex for under quilts and top quilts. If more than 30 people are interested in smaller yardage, a minimum of 5 yds ($11.25 + postage) may be better.

    At $2.25/yd, that is almost as good as the WalMart bargain bin. $22.50 for 10 yds of this stuff to work with is cheap for material as I'm sure those who have been purchasing fabrics for hammocks can attest.

    325 yards is still alot for even a group buy....even if everyone got 3 yds then we would still need more than 100 people ordering : / Personally I know I wouldn't use more than 6 at the absolute most (enough I think to make a TQ and a UQ).

    I'd go for 20

    Count me in for at least 20-40 yards. That sounds like a great price to me!

    I'll take 40 yds. Let me know if you need a banker for the deal.

    I count almost 100 yds already and we've barely started.

    Now this is a positive bunch of people.

    At that price I'll take 20 yards, if the review is good.

    I'd do 10 - 20 yards, if this comes to fruition.
