    GhostOfWinter, you were first to respond for the ham book. Can you please PM me an email address. I do not currently have enough posts to pm. Now I understand the "race to 50".

    Jedi,
    Thanks for putting together such a great group buy! Will you be doing another one in the near future, or would it be possible to get one of these HAM radios still? The UV-5R looks really interesting as well, but your package is put together much better IMHO.
    Thanks!

    @et_aruba

    I'm not sure if another group buy for the UV-3R will be done. Looks like NWI at this point is satisified with what they have in terms of radios. I could possibly see a smaller one occuring for the UV-5R radios down the road by some of us that are getting more into "HAM radio". I have not looked fully at the UV-5R radio yet and at least in my future I would like a more powerful mobile radio but think that I might just upgrade to one of the 3 major brands and skip the chinese ones. The chinese radios from my understanding are good cheap starter radios to get your feet wet but are not as rugged as the 3 major brands.

    Now with all that said I do have 2 UNPAID radios still at this point. 1 blue & 1 black. Both have been put on hold for a member that advised he will buy them and his deadline to pay is 02 MAR 2012. If I don't have money from said member by that point you are welcomed to one or both of them.

    Cost is $50.40 for radio + USB program cable.
    If I need to ship to you its $5.15 for the shipping.

    Should I add you to the list of potential buyers?

    Thank you. Yes, please add me as a confirmed buyer (black) if they do not sell as previously arranged.
    When/if the time comes, let me know where to send payment. I am in NWI as well and can probably pick up. If not shipping is OK too.
    Thanks again!

    Could you PM me contact info, if previous buyer is a no-show?
    Thanks,


    PM sent.
    I have 2 radios left: one in black and one in blue.
    Please let me know if you want 1 or 2.
    I know you can not send PMs yet so just post here.

    You have 24 hours to reply. Or I will move to the next person in line.
    Sorry for the short notice but the CC bill is due this week so I need the money. :)

    I don't think anyone can send you PM's yet. Maybe Jediagh can do it since he's [STRIKE]a Site Supporter[/STRIKE] the pink father.

    Anyway, I'm the "other member" that is selling his HAM radio. I bought mine in the group buy and it is still new in the box with all the stuff that came with the buy. (Nothing wrong with the radio but I'm going in a different direction.)

    $50 cash and it's yours. I can meet you for a FTF if you are in NWI.

    I was able to send him the PM and sold the black radio already. :D

    I have 1 BLUE radio left if anyone wants it.
    WD would you like me to help you sell your radio? I can do it for a 100,000,000 fee since you are a SJ resident. :D There are still 2 members who wanted radios. Let me get a hold of them. Both were not local to NWI so we will have to ship to them.

    Sending PMs right now.

    [STRIKE]We have only 1 black radio left that Wild Duece has (new, unused). Not sure if he has sold it yet or not. Cost for with shipping would be $55.55 or pickup is $50.40.

    You can do PayPal or pay cash @ pickup.

    I have 2 yellow I would be willing to sell in the Michigan City area. One is unopened and the other I opened but have not used. $50.40 each just like I paid. Don't have my license yet and wife isn't too keen on getting hers.

    All radios have been paid for and delivered MINUS darthfader who is out of town still. As such this group buy is officially over.

    Thank you to all that participated.
