Cheapest place to find .....
« on: 03 April 2013, 13:51 »
A forge tip for the aum engine? I had an email back from the ebay company with the slightley dodgy forge bits and they said they have no aum tips in stock other than brand new ones only agu !

Now im not too fussed about paying £120 ish for a brand spanker but £150 is abit steap (serves me right for not getting one 2 years ago when they were just shy of £100) basically i need a genuine company that stock them for as cheap as possible so i can than shamefully play dpm and awesome to out do one another with there price match promises :whistle:

Ive looked at all the usual site that google brings up but just incase ive missed something whats the cheapest you've seen ?

I'm with you on this AD1.8t, I want a red forge TIP for my AUM. However I refuse to pay £150 when they were £99.99 inc vat 2 years ago.

if there are enough peeps interested we could try sort out a group buy from awesome or somewhere similar....

Exactly ! Well i sent awesome an email so should get a reply tomorrow morning ive mentioned that rtech supply and fit a forge tip for 145 so taking in theyve got to charge what at very least £30 per hour thats around £115 for the tip which is more realistic so hopefully they can knock a good £30 off but if it still comes back too high i will mention to them about a group buy and take it from there!

If anybody would be interested in a group buy for it write in this thread so ive got some ammo for them tomorrow !
