hi, anyone know if you can buy these locally???

if not im considering getting one. they cost $59US
pretty pricey, but i wouldn't mind the space..

maybe a group buy should go through if there is enough interest

DJP · Sep 1st, 2003, 10:26 AM

not from a dealer

bkwalker · Sep 1st, 2003, 10:47 AM

yeah thats what i thought... and i dont really think there would be enough demand for a shop to stock them..

ah well

Tigger · Sep 1st, 2003, 11:42 AM

No offense but personally I think they look pretty cheap. Practical but ugly.

swamos · Sep 1st, 2003, 12:39 PM

Aussiemini was talking about a bulk buy a little while back.

bkwalker · Sep 1st, 2003, 12:48 PM

thanks 'mr cat in a hat'

as for the ugly part... i cant really see how its ugly.
i havn't seen one in real life, so i guess it could. but from the pic it looks ok.

SupeRub · Sep 1st, 2003, 01:42 PM

would be interested in a group buy depending on price obviously

I've got one, but having fitted it I find that plugging anything into the cigaret lighter socket (such as my mobile phone charger) all but blocks access. If I was to do it again, I would go for the open bucket style container that fits in the same space.

I indicated some months ago that I would try to get a group buy together, but when I contacted the US distributors/makers, they wanted between $AU50 and $AU100 + $AU50 postage each.

I thought that I wouldn't mind paying $20-$30 but not $100-$150, so I didn't go ahead with it.

I've since bought some MDF and rubbery felt stuff from Lincraft (craft place) and I intend making my own. Material cost so far $6.00.

I'll post a pattern once I get it done. Not much spare time on my hands at the moment, so it could be a while.

Really? Any pix? I had a fold down DVD, but a TV in that spot would be pretty cool.

FLiPSiDE · Sep 3rd, 2003, 11:33 AM
