dpm Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Potentially interested, what's the likely cost per metre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Certainly interested..... Cost will be the factor :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimA Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Certainly interested..... Cost will be the factor :) The last lot was $120 per metre The cost is long forgotten as it looks so good - I swapped my fluoro tubes for blue tubes (couldn't find any black light) The width of the roll is 12 feet (3.657m) So 1 lineal metre = 1m x 3.657m The pattern repeats every 36 inches (914mm) - keep this in mind for joins It is "hard back" carpet and very durable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n4sa Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 So I missed the last group buy and how it was organised, but happy to research it if no one else is up for the job? From what I can see it was purchased from http://www.astrocarpetmills.com/family-entertainment Was it just the one design that was brought in?

Nookie Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Count me in. I believe the last lot was this type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimA Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 There were 2 types John arranged it Info should be in this post Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopstar Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I bought in the last round... Have to say it's totally amazing - everyone who's seen it just can't believe how cool it is. Definitely a stand out feature of my games room. It was certainly NOT cheap to get here but well worth the effort if anyone's sitting on the fence. http://members.iinet.net.au/~hr350@adam.com.au/IMG_4023.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini2544 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Anyone interested in another import?? I could be tempted depending on the price of a 6mt x 7mt area landed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually found it locally and just waiting it to be ready. Anyone interested can check out this post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n4sa Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I ended up putting laminate flooring down but I'm keen to see if anyone has large offcuts I could purchase? 9m² and 6m² would be ideal :) new or second hand is fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n4sa Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Bump. Does anyone have any offcuts of any size?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopstar Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I may have some large off cuts but still working out if I might use them... If you don't find anything in a few months, PM me to see where I am at. Hoops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SegaManAU Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I'd be interested in purchasing some if we're doing another group buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinballer Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 A group buy might be the way to go, especially if it gets a better price as this stuff is expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimA Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Ask Johns Arcade how to do it. He got the last lot. He's a nice bloke, I'm sure he'll give you some tips. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator WOKA Posted April 23, 2019 Super Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2019 Remember that John crammed his carpet in with a container of arcade machines - this is what almost made it viable I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscags Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I had the imagine "stars" (like hoopstars on previous page) supplied and fitted by a local carpet choice guy in Dec 2017. Because of the nature of the pattern you have to buy a bit more to line it up, if anyone wants all of the info (including my email contact at carpet choice and the price fitted per m2) PM me. If you are interested in a bound offcut (and are willing to go through the headache of shipping) PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johns-Arcade Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 As Woka said, the only way this was possible was to include the carpet in a container of games I was bringing in. The carpet was purchased in Georgia and had to be transported to my container for shipping to Australia. The logistics and customs requirements were a nightmare to organise, not to mention the up front costs of thousands of dollars I had to put up. In the end I took a loss, as the Austalian dollar fell, and all costs are calculated at time of shipping. I'd never do it again, just not worth it Im afraid. Besides, Im sure the guys that helped unload the last lot would lynch me if I even tried! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
