VERY Mini Keyboard Solution --Cheap! - Page 9

This could be a non starter.

EBgames emailed me to say they do not ship to the UK

Gameexpress emailed me to say I need to place an order first, they do not accept payment by credit card for international orders and they will charge an extra $18 wire transfer fee.

Have just emailed Dreamgear to see if they will sell direct.

Dreamgear would sell, but in very large quantities. They point me to a spanish distributor. I emailed them and i'm waiting a replay.

If no one else wants to organize this then I'll help you guys out with it.

Edrex please can you confirm this offer stil stands....please...pleeeassseeee.

Dreamgear emailed me to say they would sell carton of 24 @ $14 each + approx $40 shipping = £185 + import tax. Don't think we need that many?

If Edrex can't help, I can. I would do this through Paypal. I recieve the monies, I then purchase them and send them to one location in UK. Shipping isn't cheap, let me know how many you guys want so I can calculate this. PM me. I am legit and already doing this with a guy in Sweden. (different parts though)

BTW: EBGames doesn't have them anymore. But I'm sure I can find them elsewhere

Thanks muldrick, thats very good of you

Reading through this post the following have said they want to buy this keyboard

UPDATED

mp3oplecarrier
bertybassett
old_lou
organasised
portugal
rikk (x4)
telstargb ( i could buy 5 and if anyone else from the uk wants one later I could sell one to them)
bravellir (x2)

I have sent pm's to the above - can each of you confirm ASAP that you still wish to buy one. Bear in mind that there may well be import tax to pay on top of the keyborad price and shipping.

Shall we set a deadline of say Friday for putting the order in.

They offered me from the states, in 100 units minimum

And Spain didn't even bother to answer.
If you could resend lets say 2 units to Portugal, count me in.

Sorry I've been gone for a bit. If Muldrick wants to do it, thats great. I just wanted to make sure that you guys get the parts that you need.
It seems fair that you guys should all pay him up front for them. Also, to save on shipping from here to there you guys should pick a UK contact that will recieve all the units in one shipment from Muldrick and then that person can distribute them to the rest of you.
If you all need my help feel free to email/PM me and I'll do what I can. Hope all this works out, cause I got mine and I think it will be real nice to in the car!!

PORTUGAL · 02-01-2005, 02:21 PM

Im still interested, count me in !!

Nice 'lil keyboard, but I might as well chime in here. Why bother messing with an extra keyboard if you have touch screen? Just use the windows on-screen board and for those times when you need to tweak something out of winxp, just plug in any old keyboard and do your thing. Also for you people looking for a bluetooth type solution, I do know of a solution for you. There's a prog:

Bluetooth PC remote control
http://www.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fu...1&prodid=53300

that can be used with an palm pda 5.0 and above taht allows you to control the mouse and keyboard functions from your pda via bluetooth. Of course, this prog works great with the Sony UX40/50 which is a palm with a built-in board, but it might be overkill for many since the price isn't warranted unless you use and a need a palm.

cheers gambit32 - just checking it out

muldrick · 02-01-2005, 03:21 PM

Well...went to the stores here localy. Only found 1 @20 bucks. Called EBGames and they said that they're on backorder, with no eta. I paid about $16.00 shipped for mine (when they had them)
For the Brits, to do this I think I would need about $25.00 a piece, (If their price stays the same, which should cover shipping all 15 of them. Remember, I've got to pay for shipping to me and then to UK. Someone please check my calculations, I don't want to make money, but I don't want to loose either.
If you Brits want to do this, I can take orders until Friday (Noon) PM Me.
I need 1 address to ship to in UK.
