Group Buy: RS-AJP Charging Cables

[Juddder]

As per the Wiki for RS-AJP, Valarm in the US sell leads for the Sony and Samsung Android devices that allow data AND charging at the same time

The problem is, the lead is $16.00 and the UK shipping is $15.00

So... I wondered if anyone else wanted to get one and then I can contact them about doing a group buy and ship to the UK, and then the shipping will be hopefully much much cheaper all round

If you're interested, post up on this thread and then I will order together in a week or so, and distribute etc. as needed

Regards

Alex / Juddder

Any idea if these might work for a Nexus 6 (Motorola)?!

Not sure but I would err on the side of No

Valarm make 2 leads that do work

One for Sony phones and tablets

http://shop.valarm.net/collections/cables-connecto...

and one for Samsung phones and tables

http://shop.valarm.net/collections/cables-connecto...

They are quite specific about which models work so please read the above if you are thinking of getting one

Also, we get a discount on the price if we order 5

Maybe get 5 of each and then experiment as for the OTG cables? I’m sure there will be 5 takers for Sony and Samsung use anyway.

Good plan

Total cost for 5 of each plus shipping is $190 and breaks down as follows

Shipping = $45.00 (23.68%) / 10 = $4.50
Samsung = $80.00 (42.10%) / 5 = $16.00
Sony = $65.00 (34.21%) / 5 = $13.00

Totals therefore are:

Samsung = $20.50
Sony = $17.50

Total via PayPal was £137.45 so that works out as

Samsung = £14.83 + UK Postage
Sony = £12.66+ UK Postage

Any duty applied on the package will be split into 10

Those interested just put your name down for the moment, and which one(s) you want and then I will update the thread when they arrive

Hey aide

I have but I'm sure I can amend it - what are you thinking?

Also I have a Nexus 7 so can test both when they arrive if nobody else does

I think the Sony and Samsung are the wrong way round as well.

Rushing on a Friday

Correct order around now - Sony is cheaper than the Samsung for some reason

[Juddder]

I've updated the first post of this thread with the replies so far - as more come in I will update that

[Juddder]

Leads have arrived!

PM me with your address details and leads you need, and PPGift to [e-mail] please

Thanks - now I will also test out the Nexus 7 with both and see what results we get...

Byker28i said:

Cool Dave - cost prices are:

Samsung = £14.83 + UK Postage Large Letter (£0.96) = £15.79

Sony = £12.66+ UK Postage Large Letter (£0.96)) = £13.62

Did anyone try these cables with a Nexus 7 and if so any of these cables left?

I have a few cables of both types left so feel free to drop me a PM and I can sort anyone out who needs one

tangerinedream said:

Alex - could you send me one of each cable? Have you still got some? Let me know and I'll PayPal you £30 and my address.

There's been a run on the Samsung ones in the last day so I unluckily have the last two spoken for at this point (but one is yours if they don't taken them), but still have the Sony ones left so can definitely post one of those out to you

Cost price is:

Sony = £12.66+ UK Postage Large Letter (£0.96)) = £13.62

If there is more interest in the Samsung ones I'm more than happy to do another purchase run and get another 5 or 10 depending on who needs one - post up your interest if you do!

Still have 1 Samsung one left which was promised but no payment or communication received and 4 Sony ones, so re-opening the last Samsung one for those interested (and I/we can order more for those who enquired but have gone quiet)...

Hi Alex. I'll take one of each. Please confirm PayPal email address and how much and I'll send this evening. Thanks. Roger

Confirmed Roger - last Samsung one and one of the 4 Sony one's are yours

PayPal is [e-mail] please and I should be able to get them in the post to you tomorrow to have a play with at the weekend
