Default worth clubbing together?

Could we carrierless mortals club together and get them shipped to the UK or somewhere convenient?

I'm guessing you could get two or three in a shipping container and their condition looks fantastic!

I think that three of them would fit ok in a 40´ container.

Anyone else interested in a bulk carrier purchase? Ian

I talked to the owner the other day, and he is now asking for almost 3X as much as to what I paid for my basically complete donor just three months ago........ A pity. If I only could understand the weird minds of scrapyard owners.....

Regards

Default Scrapyard Owners

Hi all - I have dealt with many of these guys and I think they all came out of the same genetic pool. They would rather scrap an item as opposed to selling it to you as they believe you are trying to con them. I have stopped trying to deal with these idiots as it is too frustrating.

Bob

Default Argentinian T16-E2's

I suspect that if you turned up on his doorstep with a wad of cash he would do a deal, though you would need to collect them at the same time....

Of course he might be reading this as well...
