The Headcover Group Buy (Daphne's) EOI

[MegaWatty]

OK. So there's been some interest in the Daphne's headcovers. I have just emailed the cheapest eBay'er to see what sort of deal they can do us. I'm after a 3 wood cover. I'll also compare with some of the big gun net retailers and see what we can come up with.

Have a look at the site and throw me your EOI on the headcovers.

Expressions Of Interest

MegaWatty - Utility Daphne Hedgehog

Adlo - Driver Gorilla or....a Banana???....Daphne Gorilla Confirmed....Now OUT

Matty - Driver? Daphne Gorilla

KristianJ - Driver Angry Garfield. Utility Daphne Koala

Collis - Driver Oscar, Grover, Elmo

AlexMc - Utility Daphne Gopher

[adlo]

I'm quite partial to the Gorilla headcover, although the price from RBG is much more attractive.

[MegaWatty]

$25 bucks for shipping is the problem at RBG.

I've already got a response back from the guys on eBay, and they seem pretty keen to help us out.

However, once I know how many are keen, I can work the numbers.

So you keen Adlo?

[adlo]

Consider my EOI firm to very firm.

Decisions, between:

Which will make me laugh more?

[MegaWatty]

A banana??? Seriously? Very ghey if you ask me.

[adlo]

See post #4. Not a banana in my eyes. All I see is this:

[Scottt]

Gheyer than a hedgehog Megwah?

I'm tempted to cross reference the list of purchasers in this thread with the votes of yes in that "are iron covers ghey" we had a while back to see how many we have with strange measures of "gheyity". :lol:

[MegaWatty]

If they had a Brian Griffin cover, I think it could be the best seller they made. However, you have thought of the banana and if a gay man saw that on your golf bag, he will certainly start eyeing you off. As a fellow Ozgolfer, I feel it my responsibility to remind you that what you see isn't what everyone else sees.

But, if you want the banana, then why not?

Every man loves a good hedgehog!!!

Think about it. It's every man's favourite past time!!!

[adlo]

Nah, the gorilla is still the choice. My driver will be known as Bollo. The Banana headcover would get Yoss way too excited.

If they made a Jaoquin headcover I would take it.

[MegaWatty]

If you bought the 'nana headcover, you'd probably have to buy something like this for when it rains!

WTF???

[adlo]

This thread is taking a turn for the worst......

[MegaWatty]

Not a bad idea really!

[adlo]

I suppose Harvey Normal sell them, 24 months interest free?

[MegaWatty]

Anyway, let's get back to the headcovers...

[adlo]

You started it.........

[MegaWatty]

And finished it :)

[adlo]

I know you are but what am I?

[matty]

Put me down for a gorilla cover.

[KristianJ]

It's not a Daphne's, but I like the look of this one as long as Hoboken Golf remains the place:

I had a look on the ebay store and you can get a Gorilla with a banana so that appears to solve your dilemma, Adlo 8).

[AlexMc]

I'm keen for a Daphne's Gopher headcover for a 3 wood - only thing is I see no Daphne's covers in the guys ebay shop is all...

[markTHEblake]

Perfect one for Jarro

I'm keen for a Daphne's Gopher headcover for a 3 wood - only thing is I see no Daphne's covers in the guys ebay shop is all...

All the listings were completed about 5-6 hours ago...I'd expect them to be relisted by the end of the day though. If you click on the completed listings square in the shop, they should all come up.

[Collis]

i would be keen let me know when your putting it in..

[MegaWatty]

Need to know exactly what everyone is after so I can get quoted including shipping costs. The shipping will be done by weight. Yes, you can order any headcover you want from these guys, not just Daphne's.

[KristianJ]

I'll confirm the Garfield headcover then, MW. :)

[Collis]

Would these guys be worth a try, free postage over 100 pounds, id take 2

[3oneday]

Great find Collis !

[KristianJ]

Not for rest of the world unfortunately, Collis...I just put a random selection of stuff into the shopping cart over 100 quid, put in ROW for delivery area and up came a delivery charge of about 14 quid or so.

[Flavzz]

Would these guys be worth a try, free postage over 100 pounds, id take 2
http://www.standrewsproshop.co.uk/golf-headcovers-11-c.asp

I doubt that would be international postage tho but some cool covers on there for sure.

Anyone see the Ian Poulter one on the Hoboken page lol.. Is it just me or does anyone else think that this guy is a massive douche...?

[Veefore]

I saw a Gorilla at Hartfield today. I think it had $35 or so on it.

[Collis]

yeah only place i could find an oscar the grouch one, might get a cookie moster too lol. cant find them locally

[PeteyD]

I want a stitch one.

[AlexMc]

Put me down for a Daphne's Gopher (Utility/Hybrid)...

[Yossarian]

For JC.

[Johnny Canuck]

I saw a Gorilla at Hartfield today. I think it had $35 or so on it.

That was just Golfnut. He's been shaved down and is once again allowed out in public.

He should have only had $30 on him, but he lowballed his way to cheaper green fees.

[TourFit]

Might look like a gorilla...hits it like a chimp though !!!!

[KristianJ]

Daphne's covers are back up and listed...I might snaffle a koala utility cover as well, MW.

[MegaWatty]

OP edited.

Collis. Did you want any from this supplier?

PeteyD. Did this eBay supplier have a Stitch one available?

I'll give this another few days to let everyone have a crack, and let the Aussie Dollar creep back up over 90c.

[adlo]

simmsy was paying me out today for my headcovers not co-ordinating..... :roll:

Better get this order going.... I can't upset the old man.

[PeteyD]

Unfortunately no Stitch seen from this supplier.

[Collis]

Hi mate,
noticed they had the ones i want now.
ill be keen on an oscar the grouch, grover & elmo...all driver 460 ones.
let me know how much

[Collis]

When is the order going in?

[MegaWatty]

Probably get quotes tonight.

[adlo]

I'm out.

[MegaWatty]

Quote request sent.

[KristianJ]

Any word back, MW?

[MegaWatty]

Nah, I was just thinking that then. I'll re-send it.

[MegaWatty]

OK. Got an instant reply this time.

Here it is:

The daphne's hybrids are $12.99 each (gopher, koala & hedgehog). They weigh about 6 ounces each.

The daphne's gorilla is $24.99 and it weighs about 12 ounces.

The Sesame Street covers are $29.99 each (oscar, grover, elmo) and weigh about 10 ounces each.

Angry garfield (garfield w/ attitude) is $24.99 and weighs 12 ounces.

I can ship these all priority mail - which takes 6 to 10 business days. The cost for shipping all of these would be $49.64.

If there is anything else that interests you; let me know!

Also - I should let you know that everything above is in stock, but there are only a few grover and elmo's left and once they are gone - thats the end of them! The company that makes them lost the license.

We also have the last 40, official Stevie Williams Kiwi Head Covers left anywhere (I bought the last 62 when the company stopped making them).

So who's in and who's out? Most headcovers can be chucked in a prepaid Post bag for about an extra 5-10 bucks I'm guessing.

[simmsy]

pm sent

[KristianJ]

I'm definitely in...might as well grab one of those Kiwi covers just for the hell of it. I assume it'll be this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Zoo-Animal-Golf-Head-Cover-Kiwi-460cc-Stevie-Williams_W0QQitemZ360222154928QQcmdZViewItemQQptZL H_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item53dee9e0b0

Will sub that into my order in place of the koala cover, I think.

[adlo]

As previously said, i'm oot.

As the OP states. :)

[KristianJ]

Actually, I might just stick with my original EOI...never mind the kiwi.

[AlexMc]

Count me in.

[MegaWatty]

Actually, I might just stick with my original EOI...never mind the kiwi.

It doesn't look like a genuine Stevie one that tiger uses anyway.

[Daggs]

Dont know if youve seen it before but i found this yesterday ..Just for future reference.

www.golfcow.com/ (http://www.golfcow.com/)

Ive never seen soooo many on one site before.

Some excellent novilty crap to.

[MegaWatty]

This orders going in today. Only going to cost 50 US to ship them all. Going to go outside of The Bay to hopefully get a better price.

[Johnny Canuck]

do they sell putter covers?

[KristianJ]

This orders going in today. Only going to cost 50 US to ship them all. Going to go outside of The Bay to hopefully get a better price.

Were you able to get a better price, MW?

[markTHEblake]

So they have any teletubbie covers?

[KristianJ]

Just checking to see if this has fallen through or if it's still on, MW. I'll probably end up just buying mine directly if it's not going ahead. :)

[MegaWatty]

They're on their way mate. Was going to update today when I'm at home, because for some reason I can't access a few threads through the search feature when I'm using my iPhone. This is one of them...strange. From memory, Daphne covers got 10% discount but Sesame St didn't as they're discontinued and becoming rare. We got the dollar at a high as well. I'll be in touch via PM as to how much everyone owes.

Cheers!

[KristianJ]

Sweet - will wait for the PM.

[matty]

Hey Megawatty,
I only just noticed the '?' next to 'driver' for my order on the first post. It was for the driver. Hope you just ordered it for that anyway.

[MegaWatty]

I think I did. I'll check tonight.

[MegaWatty]

They've arrived! I have just worked out the prices and the shipping costs including postage from WA at $6 ea. The shipping from the US was broken down depending on how many you purchased. Once again, another $6 per H/C.

I think the Sesame Street look pretty cool.

Matty - $37
KristianJ - $56
Collis - $132
AlexMc - $25
Simmsy - $34 (No Aus Post Req'd)

If any of you live close, I can probably save you postage across by shipping to one address.

I will PM my account details to the Nigerians.

[simmsy]

PM me your bank details mate.

[MegaWatty]

Just fix me up when I see you next.

[henno]

$132 on headcovers?

[MegaWatty]

3 very rare Sesame St headcovers. Oscar, Elmo and Grover. 30 US each as they hav stopped making them.

[adlo]

We can probably save AlexMc the postage on his, we are sending a pre-paid satchel over to him in the next week or so with some CDs in it. I'll make sure what type of satchel JC "borrowed from work". We have his address. MW, I need to pass those take away cups to you, I could pick up his headcover.

Looking at the price, is it a small headcover?

[MegaWatty]

Yup. It's not like my Chocolate Lab!

[3oneday]

I bought an Ernie off their ebay site, very cool and always smiling :)

[MegaWatty]

Guys,

I've only had one person shoot me a payment!

One person's already bailed on me!

Shoot through your payments ASAP.

[henno]

Wait. You bought them and someone is refusing to pay?

[Yossarian]

That is very uncool.

[henno]

I hope I'm simply reading it wrong, and he means "bailed on the order before delivery" so he's not out of pocket.

Otherwise, that's a dog act of name-and-shame proportions.

[MegaWatty]

I don't want to be a part of a NOWRNTY, or however you spell it, saga. I'll just move the headcovers on some other way. Still not pleased.

[Johnny Canuck]

Name and shame! We need to know for future group buys.

Process of elimination says Kristian or Matty. Kristian has been active and is always buying stuff, so I don't think it's him...

What is the leftover headcover?

[MegaWatty]

At the moment, only one's been paid for.

[MegaWatty]

And Simmsy's got his on good credit.

[3oneday]

What is available from what you got lumped with ? My kids would have preferred I bought an Elmo, but they like mucking up Ernies hair ;)

[KristianJ]

Absolute guarantee from me that the $$ for mine is on its way. According to my Net banking it hasn't cleared yet, but hopefully it will very soon. :)

[henno]

Looks like Sherlock Canuck nailed it.

Yours are in my car mate you're all good. Someone has bought some elsewhere!

[MegaWatty]

Nope.

[KristianJ]

Tops. :) I do hope this issue gets sorted out properly and fairly..

[Collis]

Its me who MW is talking about, short story is got a price for them, never got back to him when he was confirming the order, heard nothing and then the other day he sends a pm saying they have arrived.
I didnt have computer access for 2 weeks but there was no pm seeing if the order was still needed, etc.
Just thought i would put my side out to...

[Collis]

So dont like seeing that i pulled out of the sale when i never agreed to it in the first place?

[MegaWatty]

I'm happy for this to not get out of hand. I'll move them on
myself.

[Collis]

MW Pm sent not wanting to cause anything out of this, as you have tried to do the right thing.
let me know what you think anyhow.cheers

Just wanted to let people know that i wasnt pulling out of the sale when i didnt know anything had been brought for me.

[AlexMc]

Transferred cash over the weekend mate. Wasn't sure what the deal was (whether you were going to send with the CD's that Aldo was mentioning) however paid the full $25 either way.

[Yossarian]

What sort of covers do you have left MW?

[Dazza]

PM Sent.

[zigwah]

what's available? send me a pm with prices and what not.

[adlo]

3 very rare Sesame St headcovers. Oscar, Elmo and Grover. 30 US each as they hav stopped making them.

I would say this is what is available.

I have seen one of the Oscar's. Quality stuff.

[zigwah]

i'll take Elmo if it is available or grover

[Yossarian]

None of them really match my bag. I have always like grover though...

Gonzo would be awesome!

[matty]

Mega,
Just transferred the funds this minute after seeing the thread pop up. Sorry about the delay. I got your PM when you sent it but totally forgot about it while moving house. Apologies once again. PM sent.
Cheers,
Matty

[Johnny Canuck]

None of them really match my bag. I have always like grover though...

Gonzo would be awesome!

Gonzo was a muppet, muppet.

[Yossarian]

They crossed over. Gonzo appeared on sesame street I am sure of it. That is like saying Kermit was only a muppet. They were both Henson creations.

[Johnny Canuck]

Kermit is a Muppet, plain and simple.

[Yossarian]

A Muppet and a muppet. While grover is only a muppet. I feel we have achieved something great here.

[Johnny Canuck]

The Harlem Globetrotters appeared on Gilligan's Island, that doesn't make them castaways now does it, Gus?

[Yossarian]

I never watched Gilligan's Isle. I imagine it would've though otherwise everyone could have left the island.

[KristianJ]

MW, did I give you a delivery address to Penrith or Cranebrook? I can't remember, and I've deleted all my sent PMs from the past few months. Just need to know if I need to pop into work and get them (if the address was Penrith, they'll be heading to my work).

[MegaWatty]

Cranebrook mate.

The camels should arrive with the post early next week. Unless they got the shits. Then it may take a bit longer.

[KristianJ]

Cool - thank ye. :)

[zigwah]

All covers gone?

[Johnny Canuck]

All covers gone?

All Zig's gone?

[3oneday]

Which post sent him out ?

[MegaWatty]

All covers gone?

Oscar The Grouch left. He's pretty cool with his bin lid and all. Ask Simmsy!

PM me if you're keen.

***Obviously that's anyone as Zig won't be able to PM. Plus he's already got one.***

[PeteyD]

How much for oscar?

[MegaWatty]

40 bucks delivered.

[KristianJ]

My FT-5 is now Garfielded!! :D Both covers fit their intended clubs nicely - I'll update my WITB thread pics soon to show them off. Thanks for your work, MW.

[MegaWatty]

;)
