UHF Radio Group Buy

[slip]

I'm going to do a group buy on these $99 Uniden UHF radios that we use on cruises and stuff.

put your hand up if you are serious about getting one, im going to push for $90, need 10 people or more.

The buy should occur in one month (early november)

only reply if you are SERIOUS.

these things are really handy on cruises/saturday night at the gold coast (street racers go on the same channel) etc

i reckon your best bet would be to find a friend who works at dick smiths or something.. they get like 40% off..

or try the manufacturers/importers direct... should be able to push for more than 10% discount.

do you have a link or a unit number so we can check out the specs on it? im taking it that these are hand held units?

[Guest MRE]

DickSmith have them on sale atm for $78 from Oct5 to Oct20

Uniden

[NismoGirl]

Err... Don't get the $78 one..

It sucks. For one it's got less features (Probably about one less) and two it takes 3 AAA batteries. You can get AA batteries from supercheap .. a pack of 4 for $1. Cheap as chips.

$78 isn't on special. That's how much they are week after week to buy.

[BelGarion]

i assume this is the unit we are talking about, it seems pretty good

[NIZ30]

Please pardon my ingorance on this....but.

3km range does not seem very big to me :confused: , or is this good. I have no idea. I always thought UHF range was much more than this.

Or must i have a big nerdy looking arial to get better range.

THIS is the one you want.

NIZ30.. This cb is only used for cruises and the like to keep in contact with everyone about when the poo is on the stick, or the cops are in the pen (In otherwords, when the cops are around) or split second decisions on where to go..

If you want one that will go further, you will have to buy a more powerful unit that sits in your car. We have a little hand held as well as the car unit. The car unit (which also has 20 scanner channels) cost us $580 or some crap which we dont really use unless we are out on a cruise.. which mind you the little uniden hand helds do just fine

firstly yeah ill take one, if i have the money at the time..

secondly.. erin - shouldnt it be the cops are out of the pen?

coz if they were in the pen, wouldnt that mean there at the station???

[NismoGirl]

No.. Because cops play in a pen. And when you are saying "The cops are in the pen. " Meaning the cops are in their playing field with cameras and stuff... Waiting to book you.. So you are in their pen..

Pfft.. I understand it

[Guest Boxhead]

ahhhh it all makes sense now

this one worksTry Again

Yeah Slip ya **** put me down for one. But we should be able to get a better deal than $90 for a bulk buy. Firstly ask them for how much for ten....get that price. Then ask now how much for cash?.... And then ask why are they THAT price? You will be surprised how much money you can save....

I just got $40 a tyre off each tyre for the tyres on the 4wd by doing that.. It does work.

Cheers Shitlips

unfortunately gary you knob polishing leaver of sleeping goods at steves, we seem to be the only solid buyers at this stage, so i may just go get the best price i can for us, but if i do that i will contact you with what i can get them for.

its not that $78 one.

ps. i ordered parts off steve.

[NIZ30]

If the price is good, I'm in.

[Mark0]

[NismoGirl]

I want one before Mad Mountain cruise. If this is not possible i won't be in the group buy cause I will have already bought one. So Slip let us know how your going with this during the week if possible?
