Leatherman Charge XTi Multi-tool Group Buy

Group Buy

Okay Folks, one of the original "good deals".

Good only while it lasts, offer may be withdrawn or cancelled at any time. Sale limited to registered members. Delivery only to CONUS addresses or APOs.

Bill Harsey came through, and personally got us a heck of a deal directly from the President of Leatherman on the Charge XTi, the top of the Leatherman multi-tool line. Total price/payment instructions with the nylon sheath, engraved with the PS.com logo, delivered within CONUS are in the below Attached Files. Almost a 30% discount from MSRP. http://www.leatherman.com/products/tools/chargeXTi/default.asp

This is an incredible tool, I have played with one and guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

The Team Sergeant has kindly volunteered to be the bank and shipper for this op, and is sending the money for all of them. Upon notification, all purchasers need to transfer the funds directly to him, details in the "Attached Files" below. Do not let the Team Sergeant down, if you ask to purchase one.

All other arrangements must be coordinated with the TS. Any purchasers who fail to do so within 72 hours of notification will lose their shot at the group buy. Announcement will be made on this thread. Send no funds till told to do so.

Pic below is as we envision the QP version of the tool appearing looking on each side, thanks to the fantastic skills of Kyobanim. It should be close, but there are no guarantees.

To make sure that everyone gets a chance at them, limit will be two per member unless the TS approves more. If you want more, ask him. Price is close hold as well. Do not disseminate it. If we do not have 50 sales by 31 Oct 04, the offer may be cancelled. If we are limited to 50 tools, it will be first come, first served.

Any leftover funds after shipping and handling are deducted will be donated to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF), which as you probably know, provides college scholarship grants, based on need, along with financial aid and educational counseling to the children of Special Operations personnel who were killed in an operational mission or training accident. No profit will be made on this deal, all excess goes directly to the SOWF. A final report will be provided.

That is all. Let me know if there is anything not covered here.

[Huey14]

Shame it's CONUS only, and that I brought a Wave just two days ago. Else it seems like a bloody good thing.

The link for the Charge XTI didn't work either, TR. Here's the one that worked (for me, anyway): http://www.leatherman.com/products/tools/chargeXTi/default.asp.

Cowboy up huh? That will not be a problem Sir.

Thank you.

Crip

[Team Sergeant]

Thank you.

Crip

Actually I was thinking of sending Crip's to the SWC Commander and asking him if he would personally see that SSG Crip got his Quiet Professional leatherman tool ASAP.

TS

[NousDefionsDoc]

LOL - don't forget the pink ribbon and the perfume.

Reaper, guinness is serious as a stroke. I'm tutoring her.

[Razor]

TR, would you please add one for me?

[NousDefionsDoc]

I'll take one please Boss.

[Surgicalcric]

Actually I was thinking of sending Crip's to the SWC Commander and asking him if he would personally see that SSG Crip got his Quiet Professional leatherman tool ASAP.

TS

I would appreciate you NOT doing that MSG. I am having a hard enough time staying below the radar here as it is. It would seem some of the Cadre here do not like NG Candidates. Isn't that so D9?

I do appreciate the offer though.

[Sweetbriar]

May I purchase one?

[Team Sergeant]

May I purchase one?

Yes.

Open to all members...

TS

[NousDefionsDoc]

May I purchase one?
Aaawh! Wasn't that sweet? :)

Thank you! Check is waiting to send at your command.

1. MG Parker is pretty busy, but I can probably get CSM Bruner or CSM Allen to come along and present it. Maybe in a Company formation?

No to the Company formation please. I will just come by and get it if its all the same Sir. Also thats a negative on the rank issue. Just a specialist here.

What about mine??

[18C4V]

How about giving it to him in company formation right before PT? :D .

[The Reaper]

How about giving it to him in company formation right before PT? :D .

That would work, but they are already going to smoke him then, don't you think a presentation at the 1300 formation, when he is all full and rested would be a better time for the instructors to express their appreciation? :D

[BamBam]

My order will be for one.

Achilles, we have asked that they be delivered before Christmas. Team Sergeant has graciously offered to box up individual orders and ship them out ASAP, but I am not sure that we would make your 10 Dec time line. Feel free to order one, but no guarantees as to early delivery.

Thanks!

9 days to go. Get 'em while they last.

TR

[Team Sergeant]

OK ladies and Gents you can make checks payable to:

“Professional Soldiers”

Address is;

Professional Soldiers
PO Box 271
Litchfield Park, AZ
85340-0271


Again any and all profits will go to SOWF.

Team Sergeant

[Achilles]

Check in the mail, thanks!

[D9 (RIP)]

Check's in the mail as well.

[Team Sergeant]

All,

It has been brought to my attention that some “Professional Soldiers” checks earmarked for the Leatherman purchase have been mistakenly returned by the US Post Office. That problem has been corrected.

To date I have received four checks and all have received a PM from me.

Team Sergeant

Please make out checks to:

Professional Soldiers

mail to;

Professional Soldiers
PO Box 271
Litchfield Park, AZ 85340-0271

[eggroll]

TS

Can I paypal you the funds?

EGG

[Team Sergeant]

TS

Can I paypal you the funds?

EGG

Egg,

While I trust most on here I would not use paypal because of anothers advice. It seems paypal has some very serious problems adjudicating. If the "Payee" decides to cancel the transaction and the goods have already shipped the "shipper" is then screwed.

I'll take a personal check, money order, cash, wire transfer, etc but I don't accept American Express or Visa, sorry.

I set up an account in the Professinal Soldiers name and I intend to ship as the checks clear. That is of course dependant on Mr. Leatherman first sending me the finished product! :cool:

TS

[eggroll]

in that case I'll get funds out asap.

TR

TS,

Funds going out in Monday mail (sorry for the delay).

[eggroll]

pmt on the way

[Team Sergeant]

OK,

So far we have 20 tools spoken for, which leaves us with about 25 left....

QP's just need say the word and I'll set yours aside, all others need to place a check in the mail ASAP. (and place your screen-name some where in the envelope!:D)

When I get word from Leatherman I'll let you all know whats going on.

Team Sergeant

[Team Sergeant]

24 left.....

TS

[The Reaper]

If you asked for a tool, please get your money in ASAP.

Thanks!

TR

[Team Sergeant]

22 left....

TS

[vsvo]

Team Sergeant,

Please put me in for one. The check is going out in the mail today.

Thank you!

[Shark Bait]

I posted this elsewhere, too. Put me down for one and let me know where to send the money and exactly how much. :cool:

Ok, got the from above.

[Team Sergeant]

Ladies and Gents,

As of today, 0820 my time (Arizona) there are 17 tools left.

First come first serve.


TS

[Shark Bait]

TS,

Do you have BamBAm done for one? I didn't see him on the previous lists. I know he wants one.

[Team Sergeant]

TS,

Do you have BamBAm done for one? I didn't see him on the previous lists. I know he wants one.

Roger!!!

I got BamBam covered.

[ut3]

I'll take 2 if they are still available.

Regards

[Team Sergeant]

I'll take 2 if they are still available.

Regards

Roger, that would leave 15 to go!

TS

[QRQ 30]

I apologize for the delay but I've had other things on my mind. Would it be appropriate to buy one for each of my two sons - they are 31 and 33 years old?

In light of HRC speaking at the SOWF Veterans dinner, is the money still going to them?

Rather than ask, I'll look up the price while waiting for an answer. Thanks.

[QRQ 30]

Since today is the 31st send me two. I still couldn't find the price. :confused:

[Kyobanim]

Q, I believe it was $89 each

[Team Sergeant]

Q, I believe it was $89 each

That's a roger!

Sorry Terry, I missed this....

That leaves about 13 or so left....

[Ghostrider]

I've been out of the loop for a couple months getting settled in at NTC but if there are any left I'll cover down for one. lmk :)

[Team Sergeant]

OK Ladies and Gents The Leatherman's have arrived!

I will start sending them tomorrow via USPS, Ground.

I made a list (and checked it twice) and those who send money first will be the first to receive their tools.

Does anyone desire a picture of what they look like?

TS

[lrd]

Does anyone desire a picture of what they look like?

TSHave we ever said no to pictures?

[Kyobanim]

Does anyone desire a picture of what they look like?

That's like opening presents on Christmas eve

[Smokin Joe]

That's like opening presents on Christmas eve

Some people do, do that. :rolleyes:

[Ghostrider]

TS,

Was I on "the list" for one? Let me know so I can get $$$ out to you asap. Thanks!

[Team Sergeant]

OK OK a picture.

[Smokin Joe]

OK OK a picture.

LOL-tease

[Team Sergeant]

TS,

Tank boy, I've got one with your name on it....


TS

[The Reaper]

OK OK a picture.

I see that my talents have spread to others. :D

TR

[Ghostrider]

Thanks TS, I'll send that out tomorrow!

[Team Sergeant]

OK,

All tools are boxed up, labeled and will be shipped early tomorrow morning!

So no one wanted to see more pics of the tools? Oh well.

TS

[Sacamuelas]

OK
So no one wanted to see more pics of the tools? Oh well.
TS
I wouldn't be able to see them anyway! :boohoo LOL @#$^@%$^%(@

Seriously, THANK YOU TEAM SERGEANT for doing all the real work on this project for the group. Also thanks to Kyo for helping out with the graphics design.

Also of note, everyone involved should remember and appreciate that Leatherman made it possible to allow this custom engraved purchase to come to fruition...

[Achilles]

Thanks TS!

So no one wanted to see more pics of the tools? Oh well.

I'd like to see some pictures of the tool, if thats possible.

[The Reaper]

Roger all, Saca.

TS, you are such a tease. Show the people at home what they have bought, Top!

Bill Harsey called in a favor, Kyo spent hours on the design, TS fronted almost $5,000 and is he labelling and shipping the tools to each of us personally.

Thanks also to Tim Leatherman for making this happen, and for cutting us a super deal on the XTis. He probably lost money on this deal helping QPs and our friends out.

Finally, all profits are going to the SOWF. Political concerns aside, they are providing a valuable service by educating the children of our fallen brothers. We will soon know how much we were able to help them out.

Thanks to everyone who bought one and got their money in to the TS promptly.

De Oppresso Liber!

TR

[Team Sergeant]

TS, you are such a tease. Show the people at home what they have bought, Top!

TS, master of psychological warfare.

[Ghostrider]

Check went out today...thanks TS! :)

[The Reaper]

Roger TR,
Here's the picture I know you all want to see.... (too bad Saca cannot see it.)

TS

Actually, I think they asked to see the tool, not the boxes. :D

TR

[Kyobanim]

Which tool? You mean Saca?

[Team Sergeant]

OK OK, the camera did not do the engraving justice.... the work is great!

[swatsurgeon]

TS,
YOU DIDN'T GET ANY OIL ON THE NEW CARPET WHILE TAKING THESE PICS i HOPE....DOC T WILL HURT YOU!!!!!!!!!

[Team Sergeant]

TS,
YOU DIDN'T GET ANY OIL ON THE NEW CARPET WHILE TAKING THESE PICS i HOPE....DOC T WILL HURT YOU!!!!!!!!!

LOL, nope, but that one has my paw prints all over it though, I doubt there was any oil left on it after my exam!

TS

(I think I boxed that one up and sent it to Sacamulas ;) )

[The Reaper]

LOL, nope, but that one has my paw prints all over it though, I doubt there was any oil left on it after my exam!

It looked like it had already been used, or was stone washed.

TR

[Team Sergeant]

Ladies and Gents,

24 Boxes went out this morning with 42 Leathermens. (In less than 10 minutes!) Priority Mail, US Post Office. They span the entire United States so arrival times will differ. (One as close as Flagstaff AZ, one as far as HI)

They should arrive in time to re-ship for the holidays.

That is all.

TS

[The Reaper]

Please direct any comments or feedback to the Leatherman thread stickied at the top of The Cache.

Thanks to all!
