Title: Razor Wire - Group Buy?
Post by: Jackalope on December 01, 2019, 05:11:49 PM
   Here's an interesting offer: https://buffalo.craigslist.org/mad/d/razor-wire-free-shipping-nationwide-an/7015133675.html     If ten people chipped in a $100 each, they would each end up with 4 rolls, or $25 per roll.  Not a bad deal, but distributing it would be the issue.

Razor wire is actually really handy to have for hasty perimeter set up. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have some at your retreat area or at the house.

    It's still available.  They have free shipping, and their warehouse is in Philadelphia.  The problem is they'll only ship by the 40 roll pallet load.  Here's the website: https://www.repurposedmaterialsinc.com/razor-wire/razor-wire-40-rolls/ (https://www.repurposedmaterialsinc.com/razor-wire/razor-wire-40-rolls/)  I would be in for 4-8 rolls.

So it comes to $25- a roll and there is 50' in a roll.

I am in for 4 to 5 also, if we can figure out the logistics. Logistics would involve meeting along the I-81 from Watertown, NY to Danridge, TN. If folks would chip in for a U-Haul trailer, I will make the run. Probably towards the end of January as I am headed to NC around then.

Thoughts?

    Coleman's Surplus, near Harrisburg, also sell concertina wire by the pallet, at the same price but without shipping.  https://colemans.com/u-s-g-razor-wire-concertina-type-50-foot  They also sell it in smaller quantities, but at a more substantial price.  And of course, it's available on ebay too.

I know I said that I would take up to 8 if it made the deal go, but I will cover whatever else is left over to get to 40. So I suggest we put a deadline on the order and then go from there.

Also, everyone should be sure to measure where you expect to put the wire. You may end up needing 5 when you thought 4 would work

I'd love to get a few rolls.  But I would have to build it into a doghouse and live in there for a good long time.

And PM is right.  Get an extra rolls.  You will always be 20 or so feet short on measure.

Do we have any updated order totals so I can see what I will be covering?

I have a email into the company. I want to know if the delivery is to a loading dock or it will come with a lift gate. I do not have access to a loading dock. Once they get back to me I will post.  ;)

I know of two other gentlemen in GA. that might want some too, so hang on there Patriotman.

I will be bringing it south on January 16th via I-81. I will be at exit the PA. MD. line between 1100-1200 hrs. I will be in Roanoke, VA. around 1400-hrs then going east towards NC.  A more precise time coming closer to Thursday. It is $25- a roll and I would appreciate green Backs when I drop it off.

More information and directions to come. \"/

Wire arrived this afternoon. The pallet had "pancaked" under the weight of the wire so I had to draft the tractor to pull it off the lift gate.

I will load the F150 tomorrow.
