Just to be clear on what card we're talking about...
I'm referring to the 4930 -
http://fotowand.de/pdfs/4930-4958-eng.pdfEveryone after my last post is referencing 'the 4390' card. I'm presuming that's just a error in transposing the middle two numbers, but I want to make sure since multiple people specified the 4390 versus the 4930.
If we ARE all talking the same card (eg. 4930), I'll reach out and get a quote for a combined purchase.
Right now, here's what I have for a potential order...
2 - Ben Price - Colorado
1 - Chris Fazio (Creative110) - Unknown location
1 - Denny Smith - California
1 - Marshall Harrington - California
2 - John Brawley - California
1 - Robert Niessner - Austria
1 - Ellory Yu - Unknown location
The cost per standard-sized (8-1/4" x 11-5/8") 4930 card is 44 Euros. At the time of this message, that's $52.24 (USD).
From what I can tell on the order website, they'll only ship to one location. Robert Niessner is in Austria. I'm not sure how that'd work shipping everything from Germany to the US and then back to Austria.
Chris and Ellory... where are you located?
Regarding the purchase cost... if the order does have to be completed via a wire transfer in Euros, what is everyone's thoughts on covering their individual share? I can float the initial purchase. That's not the issue. However, the US dollar is all over the place and there's no easy way to pin down the cost until it's already paid for at whatever the exchange rate is at that moment. Also, what about reshipping of the gray card(s) to you once the order arrives in the US? Does everyone have a USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc account to ship with? Alternatively, USPS has a flat rate, 3-day box at $15.50 that would easily fit the card and provide reasonable protection.
Let me know your thoughts. In the meantime, I sent an email to Fotowand asking about their willingness to accommodate a US-based order. I'll let you know if I get a response.
