Title: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: junkie on November 28, 2005, 10:44:21 PM hi,
i just had a look at the zre website and price is $112.95 US for a single. just wondering how much of a savings the group purchase would be. thx. Title: ZRE group buy in the works?

Title: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: junkie on November 28, 2005, 11:54:08 PM just had a look at the website again and this is the reason why i thought it was $112.95. didnt realize it was just for the blade only. sorry.

Post by: Colossus on December 07, 2005, 10:34:46 PM aiya! come on people! this is an awesome deal, and just in time for the 2006 season's start! only a few more to go.
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: Colossus on January 05, 2006, 02:03:38 PM and.... lack of interest has killed this. sorry to whoever was looking forward to the lower price.
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: zephyrantes on January 05, 2006, 04:21:57 PM oh well... I doubt that most people would've ponied up the $$ anyways.
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: Colossus on January 05, 2006, 04:32:54 PM usually the way it works in group buys anyways.... :sleeping:
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: zephyrantes on January 05, 2006, 04:37:39 PM yeah, so either way it would never have happened.. oh well
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: rightarm on January 05, 2006, 10:40:39 PM that sucks major goat sac...
:x Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: Colossus on January 06, 2006, 12:06:54 AM 30 people is all that is needed... there are WAY more than 30 people in the lower mainland who dragonboat and who still use the water-logged paddles that are provided at festivals, hoping to get the right length. go bug them, get their money and then put the order through if you want it that badly.
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: rightarm on January 06, 2006, 10:27:52 PM man i was buggin people a lot, it blows my mind we didn't get 30
especially for such a good deal, BAH Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: Colossus on January 12, 2006, 08:45:16 AM Alright guys!! this might just go through! post up, or PM me, email me, or email Rossifumi at factoryrc AT hotmail dot com if you want in. let me/him/us know ASAP.
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: ConfusedAsian on January 12, 2006, 11:29:42 PM Hey alex a few of the JDA paddler wanted CF but they never check the forum so I don't think those people will message you, but I know they'll be intrested so I'll ask kerri if she can tell them to contact you k?
Btw I'm intrested Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: Colossus on January 13, 2006, 07:19:46 AM at this point, i'm beyond "interest", no offense. we've got enough people to go through with this other lead i've gotten, so i'm looking for people who are willing to put down ~$125-130USD (its not direct through ZRE, and its for less than 30 paddles) plus shipping. still saving good money, still getting an awesome paddle.
please let me know paddle size and which grip you want. Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: schnip on January 13, 2006, 09:32:24 AM Can you tell us what the exact price will be after shipping, for the various handles?
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: Colossus on January 13, 2006, 10:36:47 AM as soon as i can get a confirmed number, i'll be in touch with him again about pricing. i have no internet at home right now, and can only communicate with him while at work or in class
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: Colossus on January 30, 2006, 07:36:13 PM UPDATE!!!!
this is from ZRE themselves, as we will be doing the buy through them Quote We can give you a 25% discount on a 25 paddle order and 25% off the paddle bags also. We have a new carbon "T" grip that has just become available. Paddles with carbon grips, palm or "T" are $184.95 retail $138.71 each your cost. Paddles with plastic palm grips are $164.95 retail$123.71 each your cost. We are currently out of plastic "T" grips. Paddle Bags are $34.95 each retail $26.21 each your cost. We will give you free shipping, a $4.95 handling fee will apply. Hope this helps Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: Colossus on February 19, 2006, 05:55:03 PM sorry i have't been keeping people up to date on this... i'm in touch with ZRE right now concerning recent incidents with their new-styel carbon fibre paddles snapping where the shaft meets the blade. i don't want you or i to have to deal with headaches of returning broken paddles. i know of at least 8 first hand, and heard of more. sorry to keep everyone waiting.
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: blizzy on March 05, 2006, 07:56:19 PM thanks for the update. i'd rather wait for this to be sorted out than to purchase a defective paddle.
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: ipperz on March 20, 2006, 10:43:09 PM im curious, is this thread is alive about Zre paddles?
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: Colossus on March 20, 2006, 11:05:46 PM not really.... but if you're interested in a zre, contact [email protected]
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: adbf on March 21, 2006, 07:44:55 AM I have heard there is a group buy of burnwater paddles happening. A friend of mine said their team Phat Phish and Dragonhearts are doing a group buy of Burnwater. So far they have close to 20 so I think they are getting a half descent discount. They said the order was not placed yet, contact either team. I think Bernman on the forum knows Phat Phish, they should be able to get you contact details.
Title: Re: ZRE group buy in the works? Post by: BernMan on March 21, 2006, 10:06:42 AM Yes the Dragon Hearts and Phat Phish are close to 20 so the blades will cost $160 USA dollars all taxes in. Please PM me and I will let you know who to contact because I would rather have just 1 or 2 individuals co-ordinate the orders. This has to happen fast though because it could take at least a month for the production to be completed. Thanks!
