Who wants a Dock at Amersfoort?

I have on hand here a limited number of unclaimed Home Docks for Empeg/Rio Car players, which I am thinking of lugging along to Amersfoort with me (if Rob has room for them on the back seat of his Supra). These are "Works" models, with (quiet) fans and serial ports.
So, the question is.. who wants one? I think three or four people have already agreed to this "delivery" method in email, but I do have more of the docks here..
If you will be at Amersfoort, and want to purchase a Home Dock there, then please post (here) NOW. This will help give me an idea of how many docks to bring with me. I will not bring very many in any event, so the first people to post will get priority.
EDIT-2: The price for each of these at Amersfoort will be about E155.00 (euros) cash, possibly slightly more or less if I have miscalculated VAT (which I will pay on landing at Heathrow).
Thanks!

Just a thought, but aren't they going to soak you for import tax, on top of VAT at Heathrow? I'm not an expert, but I know that I paid a fortune for electronic equipment.

I think I want one. Maybe 2.
Let's go with 1 for now. Although, I don't want to bring it back to the US with me. I just never got around to ordering one on your site. I could pay you in Amersfoort and then you can send it to me or I can get it in Cincinnati. I'd rather not use Paypal, so handing you cash would be a good thing.

Rob, no prob. You can pay me in US cash at the meet, and I'll mail your docks to you when I get back here. I think the conversion rate for a works is about US$170 delivered, per dock, so just bring along enough for however many docks you want.
Meanwhile, I am still researching the UK customs issues for when I show up with a cardboard box full of docks.. I fully expect to pay VAT+Duty on them, but there may be other issues to contend with..
Cheers

I am planning on bringing a bunch of sleds to the meet, but I am going to send them out FedEx ahead of me. Rob is going to sign for it and bring them to the meet. I don't want to create more work for him, but maybe that is an option for you too.

Aren't you technically just flying/ferrying back out again with them anyway? Wonder if you could get around it that way

Ooooh! Even better, I think!
EDIT: Okay, a small box of Docks is heading over to RobS via FedEx in time for the meet. I believe that all but one of them are already spoken for.

I'm in the same position as Henrick, no order yet - but if available (no more guys that have actually ordered) I'd be up for one. Preferably a works model, but cool would be OK.

Derek!
I was hoping to hear from you soon! Okay, one Works dock is reserved for you at the Meet.

I am also in the queue for a Works dock (an an power supply, if possible), and would love to pick one up in Amersfoort!
If any of the 8 are unclaimed, you can count on my taking one. Thanks for your efforts, Mark.

I think RobS has some power supplies, so ask him about them at the meet. I dunno if the 8th dock is a Works, or a Cool, but first-come first served for it at the meet!
