Can I get the following, I will send a money order, as it is for my young son, and out of his account.

3x Poker 2 tone Chrome Petro
3x Turtle 2 Tone Petro
5x Chrome Traditional Rollerball
5x Black Chrome Rollerball
Are the bushings the same for the Petro as regular Sierra pens?
I will need the bushings for the traditional Roller ball.

When will this group buy close?

Thanks

Paul

Yep, the pacificas (bith Petro and Tapa) are the same bushings as the Sierra.

The buy will close on the 31st and the order placed on the 1st. Starting to wish I had made it shorter, but I don't get paid until the end of the month. [B)]

Ok, i ordere 5 cigars and bushings. I'm assuming the christian fish petro's are different bushings? and the poker and christian fish petro's are the same bushings (i feel like that is a stupid question but have to ask )

how much would an order of 5 fish, 2 poker, and a set of bushings add to my previous cigars? Bill

Hey Bill,
The Fish and Pokers are $6 each at the discounted price and bushings are $3.16 per set.

So you're looking at $45.16 plus the fees (4%+.30). I should be able to sqeeze them into the same envelope as your first order.

 

[RHossack]

Can I jump in with a small order?

I'd like 3 - Petro fish
2 - Ti Gold Cigar Pen
1 - Bushing for the Petro.

Hey everyone, just a quick update.

We are rapidly closing in on 800 kits (currently 772), pretty nice considering I was guessing at 200 originally.

Jimmy has confided in me that this is the LARGEST order he has ever received and that he doesn't envy me the job of repacking everything once it gets here.

With that said, Once the order is placed, pleaqse be patient. Jimmy is estimating about a week to get everything together, He is a Navy Officer after all. Then once I receive them, I expect it to take me a couple days minimum to get everything checked and sorted before I can start packing boxes. I will post fairly frequently on progress, but this has gotten bigger than I ever anticipated.

For those that have organized group buys before, how many kits where your largest orders? I know I've seen larger dollar amounts on some buys, but it take a lot fewer $30 kits to make a $10000 order than it does $6 kits to make $5000.

Total order amount now is over $4k after discounts.

Hey Mike:

Do you remember posting this:

Over a hundred views and only three people wanting any? Come on guys, who wants some of the best less expensive versions of this kit?

Anyways thanks for sticking with it.

Doug

 

[mitchm]

Mike, paypal sent for the additional kits. If you can't get my order out in time to be shipped to the NYC hotel, shipping to SA will be ok. We can arrange this later. Thanks again for doing this GB, appreciate it!!!

[Russianwolf]

Hey Steve, I'll get you a total tomorrow. I'm exhausted.

Somehow I got sick this past week and had two executive meetings this morning that I had to inform about the financials. I did get kudos from the boss and had a member of the board stop by my office afterwards to let me know that I was doing a good job, so maybe the last couple days of stress were worth it. The life of a chief bean counter.

For now, I'm going to bed.

Can't wait to close this thing out and make the order.

By the way, we've broken 1000 kits even before Steve's order.

No hurry Mike. I know exactly how you feel with this order.

I was the genius that did the WPP acrylic blank order. Hoping to get 100 ordered and ended up selling 2,310 blanks!!! Sorting that order was not fun.

One suggestion: get set up to do your shipping labels on line at the USPS web site, then you can set up a date for them to pick them up. It would have saved me a lot of work. The lady that did my order at the post office told me that I should have done it that way, and it wouldn't have taken me and her 2 hours at the office.

Well, thanks again for taking this on!!!

Here's a couple of pics of the blanks I had to sort:
