View Full Version : Firesteel Group Buy.
Hi all over on BB i am doing a group buy on firesteels (i have done 4 or 5 now) and i thought seeing as i enjoy bushcraftuk i would try in my own way to put a bit back into the site. I buy from a guy caaled Cameron who sells alot in the UK, these are 75mm by 9mm and they are good quality, Cam sells 5 for £20.50 i can sell the same for £17.50 (i get a discount for buying in bulk). So my format will be the same as on BB, if you want some post below with how many lots you want (5,10 etc) and when i have got the numbers i will PM you for the cash then i get them from Cam and send them out, payment is cheque,cash or PP (gift/payment owed etc). You can see my GB's on steels over on BB. I normally keep this to 10 members but seeing as i am offering this on 2 sites i will either go 10 or 20 members dependant on interest shown.
Cheers Paul.
PS The £17.50/5 firesteels DOES include P+P to the UK.
what sort of firesteels are they? have you got a picturre?
I'd be interested in at least 5 of these - if they're good quality (fingers burnt - excuse the pun - with some carp ebay steels in the past!)
These are good quality i have had between 2 to 3 hundred off of Cam with no complaints at all. Sorry no pictures they resemble a bar of matt steel 9mm dia by 75mm long.
Cheers Paul.

I ran a group buy (http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?p=376650#post37 6650) for these some time back (in fact it proved so popular that I ended up running three). Managed to raise nearly £80 for charity from it too :D
I had no negative comments from any of the buyers (165 steels sold in total).
Here's a pic of mine (sorry, just phone camera) with what I thought at the time was a really original idea to combine it with the quick release keyring, until I saw someone else had done the same only much better! The pic also shows a blank for comparison.
Cameron was a really top guy to deal with so I'm sure this will be a good group buy! :)

Is £17-50 (5 Steels) inclusive of P&P?
Hi sorry Greg my origional post is not totally clear, yes £17.50 total that includes P+P to UK.
I will edit my origional post.
Cheers Paul.
PS Hi Sparkplug yes i have had extensive dealings with Cameron and he is a good supplier of good gear indeed.

I will take one lot and I will pay you by cheque if that is OK.
Thoroughly reassured as to quality - thanks. I'll take a set of 5, please.
Cheque is fine mate, i am up to 12 sets between BB and here, so after the silly season (sorry Easter break) i will order 20 lots from Cam, i would think i will have them in about 1 weeks time.
Cheers Paul.

Cheers, when will you want paying?
If I'm not too late I'd like a set of 5 please. Would PayPal be OK ? ( I can get a cheque if its a problem)
P.M. with details as necesary.
Had a 'duff one' of ebay so been waiting for a heads up on some decent ones.
Either way , thanks for putting time into organissing this.

One set of five for me please.
Cheers, Michael.
No probs (The Cumbrian). I am really grinning at your location mate!!! When my 3 kids were younger in the mid-late nineties i had 3 different boats on Windermere, and i concluded it wasnt a sun tan you came back with it was RUST!!! Still one of my favorite haunts. I will return to Low Wray campsite to spread my late Springers ashes as he loved the place.
Paul.
PS the prospect of spreading the old lads ashes has took the smile off my face.
I am closing this now and paying Cam in the morning. I will be sending PM's. This has been a good group buy.
Cheers Paul.
Does anyone fancy selling me just the one i could use one for my hiking trips :) ?
Hi all, firesteels have arrived, they are packed up ready for the post in the morning, you should get them Fri or Sat. Please PM me to let me know they have arrived.
Cheers Paul.

Cheers! came back from a little excursion to find them waiting for me. Just for future reference, I'm a Miss and not a Mr... last time I checked anyway ;)
Thanking you kindly sir!
