Subject:      Haynes Manual for Wasserboxers - Group Purchase?
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Below is a message from Sam Bateman regarding the new Haynes repair manual for the wasserboxer (UK version). Sam seems quite pleased with his purchase.

Is anyone out there interested in a group purchase? We may be able to get the price down (currently UK pounds 14 each) and will certainly save on the shipping. Sam claims to have paid 23 pounds which means 9 pounds for shipping and handling. Almost as much as the book itself.

If there are any interested parties, please send me a pmail and I will try to find out what kind of price per book we can get, shipping prices, customs and duty, etc.. Currently 1 British Pound = 1.7 USD and 2.4 CAD. I live right on the Canada/US border so I can easily import for both countries. I will import the bulk shipment in to the country with the lower duty and taxes.
