Group purchase of Observers handbook?

[clayton]

I’m wanting to get the 2024 Observers Handbook from the RASC from the Astronomical league. There’s a club deal where if you buy 10 you get a dollar off and free shipping. If you buy one it’s $27.00 plus $7.00 shipping. Anyone interested in committing to purchase for $26.00 per copy?

[SEmert]

I'll go for it!

Update: Paid using PayPal last evening, 9/11/23. Thanks, Clayton!

We have the 10+ required. Thank You for your interest.

I will ask that you send me monies prior to my placing the order.

I will soft close this list Friday Sept 15, 2023 12:00 p.m. Meaning any persons wanting a copy after that date need to contact me directly to determine if they can get on the list. I will not postpone orders for any late deciders but may be able to accommodate you if you contact me via email or phone and I have not yet placed the order.

How to remit funds for your book:

[FIRST CHOICE] Please remit $26.00 via PayPal using Friends and Family to my account not the MAS account

Or

Mail me a personal check but mail it in time for me to receive it by the deadline. I am not responsible for late or lost mail.

I will order as soon as I have all remittances. If we have 10 and someone has not yet been able to remit their balance or have changed their mind I will order for those you have paid no later than Oct 6, 2023. If you miss this date I am sorry but you will be dropped from the order. If all funds are remitted prior I will order as soon as possible to reserve our copies.

Note: Please read the details for the order fulfillment on the AL page. Note this is a Pre-order , they have limited quantities and ship in late November to December. So don't expect these to arrive until possibly late December or early January.

Getting your Copy: If not Severe weather will I plan on getting the copies to the MAS general Meeting in January and again in February if needed.
If you need special arrangements I can work with you on another method but I can't volunteer to drive them around the twin cities.

I will send my PayPal link to you by email and include you in an app called SplitWise that helps tracking small group purchases like this one.

If you want to drop out let me know as soon as possible.
