L4D2 Group Buys [Archive] - Icrontic Forums

It's just good ol' fashion math

L4D Preorder = $44.99 each

L4D Preorder 4 pack = $134.99 = $33.75 each

Save yourself $11 by finding 3 friends to buy with.

*Only do this with people you trust, quite a few people around here are trustworthy. If Prime vouches for anyone then they are good for it in my book.

I just got my group together but have a few more invites pending so I may need a couple more to get in. Lets save together!

Bonus: With the prepurchase you get early access to the demo and an in game Melee weapon: American baseball bat

*Only do this with people you trust...and with trusty people who pay in in ADVANCE! What people intend to do and what they actually do are very different things all too often.

If anyone needs people to get a group buy together let me know. I'm planning on preordering anyway so if I can save a few more bucks that would be awesome.

Snarkasm

For around $30, that falls near my requested price range. I will be up for a group preorder.

7 Oct 2009, 3:02pm

I am in. I actually have another guy that wants to do the same thing but I don't really know him that well. So I would say we make Snark buy it with the promise of paying him later. Or have Snark buy it and everyone sends him money by the end of next week?

Mark me down...

_k_

7 Oct 2009, 5:45pm

That makes 4 IC members.

ardichoke

8 Oct 2009, 12:26am

Woot, I guess then we just need to decide which one of us is going to order it.

TBonZ

8 Oct 2009, 12:35am

Count me in on this purchase.

lordbean

8 Oct 2009, 12:36am

I could get down with this, if we're doing a second group. I can and will paypal the buyer the money.

Gate28

8 Oct 2009, 12:46am

I will join a group, although the time in which I can pay has yet to be determined, I can get it to you before launch date, for sure =P

Snarkasm

8 Oct 2009, 9:24am

Q is the most reputable. I vote he buys. :)

Q, if you're up for the challenge, you can PM me your paypal address and I'll get it to you with the quickness.

ardichoke

8 Oct 2009, 10:42am

If there's anyone I'd trust on here, it would be Q. Count me in with Snark if you're willing to coordinate this Q.

QCH

8 Oct 2009, 2:41pm

awe... I feel touched. HEY, not there!!!

OK, let me finish a meeting and I'll look into getting things started and send out the info to you folks.

_k_

8 Oct 2009, 11:59pm

Hold on wait who is in the first group?

rolleggroll

9 Oct 2009, 12:31am

I was part of the first group purchase just ask Jimmeh. Can I join the group purchase as well?

QCH

9 Oct 2009, 3:26am

So far we have

Bobby1211
ardichoke
Snarkasm
_k_
QCH
TBonZ
Lord Bean
Gate28
rolleggroll

That's two 4-packs plus the start of another 4-pack. Each four pack is $134.99.

I cannot swing the 4-pack without the cash upfront. I am willing to to buy one or even two 4-packs if everyone pays. I have no problem being the buyer. I'll leave it up to you guys to figure out your timeline for getting this rolling. If 4 of us can do send the $33.75 by Saturday to my paypal, then I'll order it then. If the another have to wait a few days/weeks, that's fine too.

ardichoke

9 Oct 2009, 3:31am

Today is pay day for me, I can have my portion of the buy in basically immediately.

QCH

9 Oct 2009, 3:39am

You have two options.... send me the $$$ and wait for another three people to pay or wait until all four can pay and send around the same time as them.

Either way, I plan on just letting the $$$ sit in my paypal account until I buy the 4-pack(s) so I don't mistakenly "lose" the money. ;D

_k_

9 Oct 2009, 3:44am

Paypal info?

Bobby1211

9 Oct 2009, 3:52am

I am not in need of a group at this time. I was more so bringing this to the attn of my fellow Icrontians. Looks like at least one group will benefit from it, maybe two.

Cant wait for the demo!

Relevant question: Are you able to send/receive money through Paypal without fees?

-Bobby

_k_

9 Oct 2009, 4:02am

yes

QCH

9 Oct 2009, 4:22am

ardichoke and _k_... Info in your PM Box.

_k_

9 Oct 2009, 4:23am

no its not

QCH

9 Oct 2009, 4:53am

Shows that my PM was sent at 10:24... You sure?

_k_

9 Oct 2009, 4:56am

Same but I just got it a few minutes ago, sent its got to clear though.

Snarkasm

9 Oct 2009, 8:10am

What the heck, Q. Always forgetting about me. I nominated you!

I can paypal it immediately. There's our first four.

lordbean

9 Oct 2009, 4:55pm

So we have left...

I will be more than happy to still buy for the rest... You guys decide.

rolleggroll

10 Oct 2009, 8:27am

Who am I sending the money to?

QCH ?

lordbean

10 Oct 2009, 8:46am

I will be more than happy to still buy for the rest... You guys decide.

Aren't you losing 30 bucks on that on the second copy of the game for yourself? :confused:

Koreish

10 Oct 2009, 8:48am

No he's gifting the four copies. He won't lose a dime more than he already spent on his copy.

lordbean

10 Oct 2009, 8:52am

Ah, I see. Well, I'm comfortable sending QCH the money.

QCH

11 Oct 2009, 3:25am

I'll just be the money broker.... ;)

lordbean

12 Oct 2009, 8:38pm

Still room for 2 more folks in the second 4-pack... PM QCH for directions where to send the money.

QCH

12 Oct 2009, 9:23pm

Just remember... Paypal charges fees if you use Credit Cards Debit cards, or eCheck. Right now it's $1.29. So if you plan on using them, please send $35.04.

If you transfer the cash directly from your bank account, then there is no fee. ;)

Gnome Queen

13 Oct 2009, 12:11am

I would also like in!

OK... PM sent to TBonZ; Gate28; Gnome Queen; Magic. I already have 2 people that have paid so the next two and I'll order the next 4-pack. :thumbsup:

QCH

15 Oct 2009, 8:01pm

Still need 1 more so I can order the second 4-pack... hurry, hurry, hurry... The demo opens this Saturday!!! (Magic this assumes you pony up tomorrow).

QCH

15 Oct 2009, 8:40pm

Done... just need Magic now.

TBonZ

15 Oct 2009, 10:24pm

Hey folks! Sorry, been busy and this is the first chance I had to get back my access to paypal...I haven't used it in two years and have forgotten my login and password. I'll get that sorted now. :)

TBonZ

15 Oct 2009, 10:24pm

Ooops, if we're full up then I'll get into the next group.

I sent you $35.04 USD Q and was charged $37.09 CDN. I hope this covers it all.

QCH

16 Oct 2009, 6:50pm

DARN IT... Seems like you can only order one 4-pack. :( So, I need to send the cash to someone else to complete the purchase.

Gnome Queen

16 Oct 2009, 6:51pm

I can do it if you'd like, Q- Weezer and BH can attest to my honesty last year when we did this.

QCH

16 Oct 2009, 7:28pm

OK... If everyone agrees I will send GQ the $$$.

17 Oct 2009, 2:15pm

TBonZ

19 Oct 2009, 1:55am

Thanks Q and GQ! I registered my pre-order when I arrived home tonight. :)

_k_

19 Oct 2009, 1:58am

Yes, thank you both. Really appreciate the effort from everyone on these group buys.

QCH

19 Oct 2009, 4:58pm

No problem, just sorry I made you guys wait while I learned my lesson on 4-packs. ;D

Preacher

25 Oct 2009, 9:58pm

I am coming in belatedly. Rex and I are buying L4D2, but I would prefer to pay less than more. Are there two more IC peeps that would like to pay $33.75 instead of $50?

Please, please?!

QCH

26 Oct 2009, 12:26am

Preacher and Rex are not allowed to own L4D2... they are too good. :D

UPSLynx

26 Oct 2009, 1:00am

whens the deadline for preorders? I'm too lazy to look (lol inorite)

I'm thinking about this, because I will certainly buy L4D2. But I just put down 30ish for boarderlands. Trying not to spend a million dollars on games at once as ICOK is in a few days.

I'll be part of your quartet!

SOLID...Just need one more! We have until Nov 17th!

You in, Lynx?!

EDIT: Nevermind I'm gonna be a cheap ass and wait for the demo.

Mordeth86

6 Nov 2009, 6:03am

I would like to take advantage of the pre-order 4 pack. I googled buying groups and found you all here on this forum.

I would like to buy 2 copies. 1 for me and 1 to gift to my brother. Are there still 2 people who would like to buy L4D2?

I don't know how you all arrange payments and stuff but I am willing to work something out. Thanks.

UPSLynx

13 Nov 2009, 4:50pm

Preach, I neglected to check this thread and just now saw your post.

Still need a fourth?

Mordeth86

13 Nov 2009, 8:01pm

I'm willing to join a group and buy 2 copies. Any takers?

Cliff_Forster

13 Nov 2009, 9:00pm

I myself played the demo, and despite being less than enthralled I will say I am defenseless against the desire to hit more Zombies over the head with an Iron Skillet,

If anyone has a license left, let me know, I'll pay pal the $35 for it.

UPSLynx

14 Nov 2009, 2:07am

Well, if preach doesn't show up in these parts in the next couple days, it looks like myself, Cliff, and Mordeth's two would give us four.

Still waiting on preach, first.

Sorry, Lynx. In the interim, I got in a group buy with Magic and Mr. A.

UPSLynx

15 Nov 2009, 8:51pm

ok, that's cool.

it is still live. But we need everyone confirmed. If we miss it, then no big deal, I'll probably wait until Christmas to get it though.

So it's all up to everyone else, I'm indifferent on the matter.

/me cleans his pistols and sharpens his machete

_k_

16 Nov 2009, 4:31pm

If you have a pistol you can't have a machete ardichoke, ^noob.

Besides they have a 1911 and a glock, two guns that don't need cleaning and you can use as a hammer in a pinch. Granted there is the Eagle in the game for some reason but that was designed to work in the desert so I think it will be fine. Just throw some oil on them and they are good to go.

Cliff_Forster

16 Nov 2009, 5:12pm

Cliff and Lynx, you in? We should get it on monday because it comes out on Tuesday.
Do you need my email or something to coordinate payments and stuff?
Should I buy it and then you two pay me through paypal or something and then I gift it to you?
We'll have to be Steam friends and then we could play together. : )

I'm in for a copy on a group buy. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197978500775

The guys can vouch for me, I'll paypal you as soon as its sent, I think $35 covers it on a pre order?

Mordeth86

16 Nov 2009, 7:29pm

Done and done. I will buy the 4 pack and gift a copy to you Cliff, thanks for the link to your profile.

Lynx, if you give me a link to your profile I will gift you a copy too.

What info do you need from me to paypal the money? $35 should be fine (although there are paypal fees right?)

Cliff_Forster

$35.04 should be the exact amount unless you do direct withdrawal from your account....

Cliff, I just added you. I am Mordeth86 (or Boba Fett). Add me and I'll gift you the game.
