Guys here is the latest from Quicksilver.
Looks like we have our final price (£483 plus VAT), as I doubt we can get 10 names down.

Hi Peter,
That’s fantastic news about getting 5 people!
Regarding going any lower on cost, if you could get 10 orders, we could go to a 35% discount which would bring the cost down to 448.50 each plus VAT. I’m afraid that’s about as low as we can go on any discount. I just got your second email in while typing this, and of course we would welcome any advertisements we can receive, but 10 orders would still be needed to go any lower on price. These are not very high margin systems and we would need that kind of volume to reduce our costs to the point where we can offer 35% off retail.
In terms of procedure for ordering if you can provide me with a list of the names (and addresses if you have them) and I’ll start the paperwork on my side. I can either email order forms to the individual people (or you can forward them), or they can call me directly.
I’ll wait until I get all 5 or so orders before starting the production run, so they should all be ready at about the same time
The cost per unit based on 5 orders is £483 plus VAT giving a total per unit of £567.53 and I would expect delivery in 2-3 weeks. Each system comes with a 25 year corrosion guarantee. We accept payment via credit card, cheque or bank transfer. If payment is by cheque we would need to wait for it to clear before shipment.
I have attached an order form which you may feel free to forward to the bottom of this email. Please ask that they are sent to my attention.
Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
