Any intrest in a group buy on Atheros WiFi Cards?

(EDIT) GB Is Over Guys! thanks to all for contributing so we could all get a great deal on these badboys!(EDIT)

I will leave the thread for those who have questions about them.

(edit) I will close this thread when the group buy is closed! (edit)

This is for a Atheros AR5006XS based WiFi card!
The AR5006XS is the latest and greatest!

Things will go thru paypal straight to the seller, I would recommend
that you use credit card so you have online buyer protection thru your credit card if they offer it because I will not be held liable for any issues, etc yadi yadi. I am just a guy who wanted to save some cash on these cards so I setup the group purchase. This is not my first group buy nor my last.

I checked his paypal account as well;
Account Status: Non-U.S. Verified Premier Member (51)

So I am confident, but its always recommend you take whatever route you feel comfortable with.

You MUST Forward a copy of your paypal
confirmation of payment to " xxx " that way I
have transaction record that you were part of our group purchase.

Dont change the subject when you forward the email, just put my email address. That way all the emails get placed in one spot and its more organized for me.

In the payment message you can put "Firebretha Group Buy" so he recognizes the payment source.

Pricing

We reached fifty units! price is Ten dollars off of $60 USD, so $50 dollars a piece.
Shipping to the USA will be five dollars for one unit, and 3 dollars
for every additional unit.


So for one Unit shipped would cost you $55
For two units sent to you would cost $108

Here is a link to the Sellers normal eBay listing, You can see his
feedback and if you click some of his previous auctions you will see
his previous sales with these cards.


For more information on the benefits of the Atheros WiFi card, please
see this thread.

Thanks for grouping together so we could get a discount on these!

(EDIT)
Hey guys remember you DO NOT have to BID ON HIS AUCTIONS!
We are bypassing ebay because they would add an more cost to the purchase. just send payment direct! Congrats to those who have already placed their orders.

(Edit)
Same Cost to Ship to Canada! Just make sure you make payment in USD and not canadian so the amount is correct.
(Edit)

(Edit)
We hit Fifty units sold between all sites! Price updated











Remove the bottom panel from your 9300 to get access to the MiniPCI card.

Use a flat head screw driver to pop off the antenna leads.

Remove old card and install new card. Attach new leads and then reinstall bottom cover panel.

Insert CD and run the setup.
This program will install the 5006x drivers by default.

Once the setup is complete go to, Start / Control Panel / System / hardware / Device Manager

Under Network Adapters you will find the Atheros Card. Right click on it and select update driver. Then go back into the CD and find the drivers, Then select the 5006XS card and click continue anyway



You are all set! Enjoy 108mbs speeds!

well he sells them online for 60$ usd.

"Shipping to Canada/United States is US$15 and anywhere else in the world is US$20. Item will be shipped (w/ TRACKING NUMBER) from Hong Kong directly within 2 days after payment is confirmed."

Now I am just waiting to hear back from him on what he could do for us as a group buy.

I also have a copy of this thread over at notebookreview.com
if you guys can think of any other places to get attention feel free to link them here.

the more people we can get the better... while writing this I got disconnected three times. so pissed...

Its a mini PCI card.
That way we avoid anything sticking out of the laptop asking to be stuck on something and broken off and I believe uses

and yes, if you see most of the people jumping up in this thread you see in their sigs that they have 9300's.

Alright guys! I need your help,

Where else can I post to get more attention? Mods would it be alright to post in other laptop manufacturer "general" forums?


I got contacted by him:

" Here is my offer: if you buy less than 50 pieces, i can discount $5 each or $8 if more than 50 pieces


Thanks, Martin"


This would put the price at 55$ per piece.
