Any chance of nudging him, it might be better to have one of the big online suppliers have them available to buy individually as well?joe1002 wrote:He was going to ask his supplier, I have not heard anything since.f00b4r wrote:Did Greg come back at all?joe1002 wrote: I have just messaged Greg. I have been thinking of buying a couple from China but the postage is pretty uneconomical on a small order.

Crusader have still not got back to me and I am goig away for 10 days. When I get back I will consider buying them for resale myself if no one else has managed to get them.

That sounds good if it is the only option, where are you based Simon?simon12 wrote:Crusader have still not got back to me and I am goig away for 10 days. When I get back I will consider buying them for resale myself if no one else has managed to get them.
Re: New smaller Sankey Kegs
Greg at Brew UK has asked his supplier twice but seemingly no response, which seems the same response Simon got:

Re: New smaller Sankey Kegs
I also emailed crusader with no response
Re: New smaller Sankey Kegs
I just spoke to Crusader again and he said £45+VAT but min. 100, he also mentioned he spoke to brew UK about them and they didn't seem interested. Unless it looked like I could shift at least 50 to you guys here (at the moment I think 20 is optimistic) the minimum is far to high for me to stock them for resale. I will try the portinox guys npg posted a link to shortly.

Yeh 25 min would be fine but 100 is a 5k investment

It may have more to do with the shipping crate size than anything else.

Re: New smaller Sankey Kegs
Lets guage the level of interest here at the moment (feel free to drive so others this way). I would take 3-4 of them (looking for 3 really but would take 4 to make it happen
).

Re: New smaller Sankey Kegs
I'm interested in at least 2.

So are you looking to get members to commit to buying 50 & reselling the rest yourself?simon12 wrote:I just spoke to Crusader again and he said £45+VAT but min. 100, he also mentioned he spoke to brew UK about them and they didn't seem interested.

When I opened a list on another forum last year I got at least interest in 20kegs, so 50 on a more public forum should be quite easy.
I would suggest as with any large group buy you get a commitment from those who want kegs in the way of cash up front first & make sure everyone knows the timescales involved in getting the kegs, which could be months.
