CLOSED - Please see the last post in this thread.

After the thread last week discussing the Trend Airshield, I decided to call the U.S. distributor and see if we could get a group discount. They have graciously agreed, and as long as we can get enough interest (6 or more), we can purchase the units at dealer cost, which is $230 (plus PayPal fees and shipping).
I know, I know...I said I'd never run a group buy again, but I can see some real advantages to having one of these thingies in my arsenal (I don't have room for a DC, and although my respirator works well, it gets uncomfortable after a while), and the price difference is pretty good.
Please post here if you're interested. I know it's getting close to the holidays, so I'm going to leave this open until the 27th. If I can get enough people who want one soon, I'll even do something nice (I can hear the collective gasp!) and run two group buys, one ending the 8th, and one ending the 27th. Just to be clear, I am saying that if there isn't enough interest, those who might otherwise have preferred to be in a group buy ending on the 8th will have to wait until the 27th if we don't get enough interest in both orders.
The only questionmark is the cost for me to ship to you - we get free shipping to me if the order is over $600. But I don't know the size of the package or its weight, so I can't determine how much it will cost for me to ship the package to you. If anyone has one, or has the ability to determine how large the package is (e.g., whether it will fit in one of the $8 flat-rate boxes), that info would be appreciated.
For now, please post here if you are interested, and let me know whether you would prefer to wait for a group buy that closes on the 27th, or if you're really anxious and would prefer to get this done by the end of the week.
Whoops...forgot to mention...this is ONLY available to people who were members as of today.
