It seems clear to me that there isn't a lot of point in more than one 
person persuing a bulk purchase from poweron, given that the shipping cost 
pretty much seems to be a constant.

I don't have time to arrange such an order, and there seem to be a couple 
of people willing. I am however happy to advertise such an offer in 
Canberra, and act as a money collection point.

I guess that means that my thoughts are that someone needs to say they are 
definitely doing it, and nominate a timeframe.

Cheers,
Mikal
