Mercury Magnetics Group Buy

isn't it cumulative? So once you purchase 25 over any period of time, that column is your cost from then after?

So your orders from this "group buy" get you savings from now on?

I don't see that as a problem. He's offering to buy half of them on this order anyway to get over 25 and he's cutting us in on the deal to boot!... OH!, and taking care of the Paypal fees on his end.. AND shipping out the different parts of the order to everyone who' in on it.

Thanks in advance Steve!

It's a win-win the way I see it. I've had this Silvertone sitting around here waiting on a proper replacement OT for a year now. I just haven't been willing to sink $$ into a MM. Now, it's basically half price.

S2... sent you an email basically asking the same thing. Any help you could provide would of course be most appreciated.

Yes. That is indeed the plan. But I see it as a win for everyone involved. I get the savings I want down the road. Each person who participates gets iron at cost.

I am asking each person to pay shipping from me to him/her, but I am not asking to be paid for shipping from MM to me. I'll cover that. I'm also not asking people to cover the PayPal fees. I'm paying those as well.

It is a little self-serving, but not offensively so IMHO.

Yeah. I'll have a look. Lemme look up what I used in Bonamassa's amp and find the 50W version for you. It was some good stuff.

I used the O100JM for Joe B's amp. So the O50JM should be equivalent.

For power, I used the MP10068. The P4550JT-G2M looks to be close to the same if you can use a lay-down transformer. If you need stand-up, the P50JM should work.

mchauck · Post by **mchauck** » Thu 05/10/07 10:49 am

Great....the laydown will work fine. Let me know what the total is and I will paypal you. BTW....since I am so close to MM...can I pick up at the Chatsworth store with no shipping?

s2...payment sent via paypal. Thanks for hookin me up.

The only other amp I've ever had with MM iron was a 1/2 Gilmore Jr. That little guy kicked arse and I'm betting that the MM trannys had something to do with it.

Thanks again...you the man!

Does this mean that S2 will be selling mercury as a dealer? That's good news, it's the best out there without question!

I'm stuck at hammond pricing ...mm too rich for me. How will the plain old s2 ones I see on your store compare? I'm not expecting mercury quality for that price.. but are they decent?

Not sure. The immediate idea is to put them in Cat 5 amps as stock. But I **could** end up selling some of the more popular ones online.

Honestly, I think certain MM models sound great and others are marginal at best. In some cases, mine sound better, Heyboers do too, so do Schumachers, etc. MM isn't the be-all-end-all of transformers, but it is hard to argue with the brand recognition. I don't own a single amp with MM iron, and it isn't because I can't afford it. I've just been happy with other units until brand recognition is forcing my hand. I'm tired of answering the "Why don't you use MM iron?" question constantly.

But I'm not currently selling transformers at all due to metal costs and other supply issues.

s2 · Post by s2 » Sat 05/12/07 3:42 pm

OK, we are up to 19 transformers, which is enough for me to close it out and place the order. If anyone else wants to dive in, be sure I get your PayPal before 9AM CST Monday. I am placing the order with MM then unless there are objections.

Cheers!

Still can do!

s2 · Post by s2 » Sat 05/12/07 6:46 pm

Another note...

I will ship these overseas, but can't know the shipping rate up front (obviously). We can settle up on the shipping after they are mailed if you like.

We are now up to 23 units (plus chokes).

mchauck · Post by **mchauck** » Sat 05/12/07 7:30 pm

s2...can I get all three trannys in one box?
If so...I owe you 11.00 If not, I owe you 19.00.
Let me know and thanks
