Bulk turner project & pen kits- (CLOSED)

Brandywine · May 28, 2008

Hi all,

I am considering purchasing a bulk of turning project kits (letter opener, magnifying glass, fan/light pulls, keychain kits, pill box, etc.) from Berea ( http://www.bereahardwoods.com/price/other_items/ ) and would like to know who is interested in going in on a bulk order with me.

Discounts for a bulk order are 30%-50% off...more if you compare to retail at woodcraft or CSUSA, etc.

Let me know what item(s)/kits you are interested in and qauntity (also note that some kits come in gold or chrome).

I would receive the kits in Colorado and sort and ship them out either in a flat rate box, or padded envelope. (your choice)

I will confirm price totals once you have listed what you want.

Payment would be made through Paypal or Propay or send a money order if you like (just get it here by the time we order)

I hope to order within two weeks if we are ready at that time.

Chris

I could see getting a few items. cigar letter opener, light pulls, compact mirror and maybe a few others. I'll wait to see how the interest goes and then decide on the numbers.

Thanks for starting another buy.

JustInside · May 29, 2008

I may be interested in some kits, I will also wait to see what others are ordering.

Cheers

Paul

I'd be interested in some pepper mills . . . but, to be honest with you ..... I'm a little surprised that a member with only two posts .... who has been here less than a month . . . is wanting to run a group buy.

maxwell_smart007 · May 29, 2008

I've been debating getting some bottle stopper kits from Berea, but I was actually waiting for the Woodcraft group buy for those - they're a bit cheaper over there...

Have you participated in a group buy before, Chris? They're a lot of work, I hear...

Brandywine · May 30, 2008

I have been on penturners.org for a long time and resigned up again when I changed my woodturning/crafting business name. I have conducted group buys before but not on this forum. Group buys are easy with two elements in place (buyers who know just what they want and are able to pay for it before the order is placed), otherwise there is a lot of back and forth without much progress.

I am looking to buy 100 (or more) kits at Berea which will give us a discount around 50% off many of the kits.

So that would make for:
Light/fan pulls @ $1.25
Compact Mirrors @ $3.35
Cigar Letter opener @ $5.25
All Chrome Bottle Stopper @ $3.50

Sorry, but I did not see peppermills available from Berea

We can also get pen kits as well with the same discount.

I will be ordering a few of most of their other kits myself.

Thanks guys
Chris

Chris,
If you are going to do pen kits I would be instrested in sierras and sierras click pens.

Brandywine · May 30, 2008

Hi Greg,

Sierras are $4.40 and Sierra clicks are $5.70 with the bulk order.

maxwell_smart007 · May 30, 2008

Wow, that's a good price. Who's your contact at Berea? A relation, perhaps?

Modelmaker · May 30, 2008

I would be in for some sierra's.
would toothpick holders be available as part of the group buy?

1JaredSchmidt · May 31, 2008

What would some ultra cigars be?

GregMuller · May 31, 2008

What platings would that price be for on the sierras? Could we get the Black Ti and Ti Gold for the $10.90 price?

joeatact · May 31, 2008

I would be in for some Sierra clicks at $5.70 with this bulk order

What plating?

Brandywine · May 31, 2008

Chris

1JaredSchmidt · May 31, 2008

When are you planning on ending this Group Buy? I'll place my order in later on today.

maxwell_smart007 · May 31, 2008

I'll have to pass this time - put me on the list for next time...

BruceA · May 31, 2008

Greg,
Just to confirm the pricing on the Sierras in all but the Black-TI plating options... Please confirm that the standard Platinum version and the Gold Titanium version are going to be $4.40. Those are normally a few $$ more than the standard Upgrade Gold or Chrome. If everything but the Black-Ti is $4.40, then that presents a considerable bargain and worth a buy. Thanks!

Brandywine · May 31, 2008

Here is the link for the sierras
http://www.bereahardwoods.com/price/kits/seria_thumb.cfm
Click on the type you care to find out more about, then when you get to the specific kit find your price under the '100' column

Gold and Chrome Sierras are what is priced at $4.40

Chris

Brandywine · May 31, 2008

I am looking to order in 2 weeks, but do not have a hard date.
We will close the ordering by the 15th of June if everyone is ready.

Thanks,
Chris

altaciii · May 31, 2008

I'd like to join in on the buy but will wait to see how the orders go and what I need before the 10th.

massmans · Jun 1, 2008

Can you check and see if Berea has the kaleidoscope in chrome finish. I know that Arizona Silhouette sells Berea kits and offers a chrome model. I would be in for 10-20 kits with a mixture of gold and chrome. Can you get me an estimated cost for each unit.

thanks.

1JaredSchmidt · Jun 1, 2008

5-Ultra Cigar Pens Gold w/Chrome accents
1-Ultra Cigar Pen Bushings
4-Chrome Click Sierra Ballpoint Pens

Ok,

Per Joe at Berea 'For 100 kits it would be $3.70 ea', in reference to the Kaleidoscope kits in Gold. Now thats a good price.

Are we at the 100 count or would I need to order 100 kits by myself to get that price. I really only need 20 but if I could get that price I may order more.

Brandywine · Jun 3, 2008

We are not quite up to 100 kits yet, you will not need to buy 100 yourself. 20 kits is a fine addition to the group purchase. Let me know when you are sure what you want.

Brandywine · Jun 3, 2008

Joe from Berea sent me an email... 'The correct price on the kaleidoscope kits are $6.10 ea. Again my apologies for the error.'
