I'd like to close this thread as I started the group buy thread already. Thanks to everyone for the quick response.
I've been away for a little while now but have the bug again as several people who have stopped by my place have commented and wanted some of my product I had sitting out on display. It's nice when the FedEx guy who brings your stuff to you wants to turn around and buy it.
Anyway, I was looking at switching from my Berea stoppers to the stainless ones Ruth Niles sells. The chrome on some of my Berea stoppers started pitting and I can't sell them anymore if they are going to do that. I would propose a group buy on stoppers. Even with just a few people participating the 100+ price of $4.75 would easily cover the shipping and paypal fees because the 10-19 price on these are $5.70 so you are saving almost a buck. Even on larger orders the savings is significant. I am checking on mix and match ordering just to make sure we can get all the stoppers at the 100+ pricing.
Normal pricing is:
1-9 $5.95
10-19 $5.70
20-49 $5.40
50-99 $5.20
100+ $4.75
I was told about 30 stoppers could fit in a smaller envelope/box so the lesser flat rate shipping fee would apply as well as the 3% + $.30 Paypal fees plus maybe $.50 additional for shipping to cover the extra $5 it would cost to ship these to me over the $5 I would already be paying. Overall though it would be easy to save money even with an order of just 10 pieces.
In case you were wondering, The thread size is the same as the AS stoppers and the cost is even less than their mini stoppers and significantly less than the full size ones. The thread size is also the same as many of the Penn State and CSUSA stoppers so you can continue touse your taps and handles that you have made.
I'm going to be out of town to Cedar Rapids On the 14th and back on the 18th, so I would do this buy after I return. Sorry to be so long winded!
