10/02 OK All packages have been sent except for 1. If anyone knows how to get up with Fritz64 (robert) please let him know that I need his address. I have sent him emails with no luck. Also, I have calculated refunds due everyone and will be sending them via paypal today. If anyone is short something please contact me. I believe everything that was ordered was sent. Except for one item that I ordered the wrong amount of and could not get the discount after I discovered my error. I will refund those amounts back to you. Also, The 050-4623 Jr retro rhodium rollerball kit is backordered for a couple months. I will also be refunding those kits back to those who ordered them. Thanks to everyone who got in on this. Please feel free to contact me if there are any problems or issues.
Thanks,
David
9/25/07 The shipment from csusa is in. ups just delievered. However, I have to go to work and will go through everything tonight and tomorrow and start repacking your items for shipment. I will also recalculate refunds because we got an unanticipated discount. I will be in touch again tomorrow
9/19/07 Some of you have asked about getting the additional discount from csusa. The answer is YES. I almost fell out of my chair when I talked to them. I wasnt going to say anything until I had the order in hand, simply because it just seems too good to be true. But, looks like that is the case as our order with the orginial 25% discount was 3800 and some change and went to just over 3000. So having said that, looks like everyone will be due some sort of refund. Once I have everything on hand I will refigure the totals and work on the refunds. However, I would encourage everyone who participated to donate a portion of that refund to the penturners.org people. Afterall, would this be possible without this forum to launch such a group buy?
9/18/2007 Good News folks. The order has been placed for the csusa group buy. I hope to have tracking info later this afternoon. Im sure it will take several days to arrive. I will keep you updated and once I have the package(s) I will repackage and send to all those who participated. Please keep in mind that this was a not for profit buy. Any refunds that are do you will be paid, though I would suggest a contribution to the IAP is most defeniatly in order. However, I will leave that up to each buyer. Once I have the goods I will be able to determine who,where,when,how and why. Thanks to all who participated.
9/13/2007 I have been working today getting all of this together and just sent csusa a request for an itemized quote of our order 227 pen kits, 128 pen blanks, 19 sets of bushings. I had to send it to the manager and I expect that I will probably hear from them tomorrow. There are a few out there I have not recieved payment from. PLease do so soon so we can complete this. Also, if you got in on this and have not recieved a request for payment from me, please drop me a reminder to do so. This is a BUNCH of work.....hahaha....Im doing the best I can and am so hoping I havent screwed up somewhere. Thanks to all who participated. I will keep you posted
9/12/2007 10:27 pm : Thank you to everyone who got in on this. We are at the point now of having enough to get the max discounts on pen kits (still missing a few pen blanks but I may have someone to step up and get us over 100)and I am closing the buy so that I can finish up paypal requests, order tabulations and such. Once all the monies are paid up I will submit the order and get the other part of this complete. Thanks again to everyone who made a purchase.
9/12/2007 4:00 pm ok everyone Im back had a long night and got a little sleep today, so im back here with the group buy. Right now as it stands we have requested the following amounts.
158 pen kits
85 pen blanks
21 sets of bushings
Mine are not listed in the post but are listed in the totals (im in for 40 kits and blanks and some bushings). Pen kits are fine and will recieve the maximum discount. Pen blanks are about 15 short of the max discount (need some folks to step up and get us over the top. Hopefully we can get the pen blanks over the top in the next couple hours. At that time I will be closing the group buy and getting everyone thier totals and get the order off to csusa.
9/11/2007 9:30 PM eastern time : Folks Im off to work tonight & I will be unable to reply until sometime in the morning to new posts, fell free to keep adding to the buy, I will catch it it all up when I get back. Have a great night
OK. Here we go!!!!!! I have had a good response to do the group buy from csusa. I missed the last one and so decided to do a smaller version. I hope to limit the Pen kit, Pen blanks, & bushings to 200 or less. I would love to do more. But as you can imagine this is a lot of work. So I want to make this short and sweet. When we get enough orders to meet the full discount on these items. The buy will be closed.
I have listed the items that I think most would be interested in within the scope of this buy. It is very possible that I have left something out. If that’s the case, let me know and we will see about adding it.
Please submit your orders using the list that are provided in the post. (copy and paste) them as a reply to this post.
Special thanks goes out to Chris Koterman (kent4him) as he allowed me to use a portion of his posts from the last csusa group buy to create this one.
NOTE: Out of State checks may take longer to clear so I BEG YOU, please send Postal check or money order.
PAYPAL payments. Preferred Method of payment Please add $0.31 +3.0% to your total (yes including shipping) to cover Paypal charges...sorry. To those who elect to pay via Paypal, please send me an email so I can send you my Paypal username.
SHIPPING:
Will be defaulted to $8.95 via USPS Priority Flat rate box (within USA). It will include tracking.
For smaller orders that will fit the smaller priority box, shipping (within USA) I will refund the difference in shipping.
Domestic Insurance:
I require that you pay for Insurance. I do not want to be responsible for what happens to your order after it leaves my control. The domestic shipping charges are below. Do not include the shipping cost in calculating insurance costs.
$1.65 ................ $0.01 to $50
$2.05 ................ $50.01 to $100
$3.45 ................ $100.01 to $200
$4.60 ................ $200.01 to $300
$5.50 ................ $300.01 to $400
$6.40 ................ $400.01 to $500
$7.30 ................ $500.01 to $600
International orders will be accommodated but will cost more. Sorry, I cannot give rates since I have no idea. FYI, I will only do USPS shipping and the cheaper means may not be insurable. Order at your own risk...or pay the premium. Here is how I will handle International Orders: You Paypal me the amount for the Kits. Once I have your kits, I will get the exact amount for shipping. I will then have you Paypal me a second time to cover the shipping and Paypal charges.
I will not be responsible for any loss or damage once the items leave my hands. That is why insurance is there. In the event it is needed, I will assist on any claims as much as I can.
I hope these terms are acceptable to everyone. Thank you

NOTE:
If you are wondering why the cost per kit and accessories are higher (less than 25% discount)...I add 1% to cover the insurance from CSUSA to me and as a cushion for unforeseen costs that may come up. I will turn any extra money that I collect over to IAP for use of the site. I do not make any money on group buys. I simply get my kits for 25% off with no shipping charges. I will give a detailed account breaking out total kit costs, shipping, insurance and what is turned over to IAP.
David Karnes
Thanks,
David
9/25/07 The shipment from csusa is in. ups just delievered. However, I have to go to work and will go through everything tonight and tomorrow and start repacking your items for shipment. I will also recalculate refunds because we got an unanticipated discount. I will be in touch again tomorrow
9/19/07 Some of you have asked about getting the additional discount from csusa. The answer is YES. I almost fell out of my chair when I talked to them. I wasnt going to say anything until I had the order in hand, simply because it just seems too good to be true. But, looks like that is the case as our order with the orginial 25% discount was 3800 and some change and went to just over 3000. So having said that, looks like everyone will be due some sort of refund. Once I have everything on hand I will refigure the totals and work on the refunds. However, I would encourage everyone who participated to donate a portion of that refund to the penturners.org people. Afterall, would this be possible without this forum to launch such a group buy?
9/18/2007 Good News folks. The order has been placed for the csusa group buy. I hope to have tracking info later this afternoon. Im sure it will take several days to arrive. I will keep you updated and once I have the package(s) I will repackage and send to all those who participated. Please keep in mind that this was a not for profit buy. Any refunds that are do you will be paid, though I would suggest a contribution to the IAP is most defeniatly in order. However, I will leave that up to each buyer. Once I have the goods I will be able to determine who,where,when,how and why. Thanks to all who participated.
9/13/2007 I have been working today getting all of this together and just sent csusa a request for an itemized quote of our order 227 pen kits, 128 pen blanks, 19 sets of bushings. I had to send it to the manager and I expect that I will probably hear from them tomorrow. There are a few out there I have not recieved payment from. PLease do so soon so we can complete this. Also, if you got in on this and have not recieved a request for payment from me, please drop me a reminder to do so. This is a BUNCH of work.....hahaha....Im doing the best I can and am so hoping I havent screwed up somewhere. Thanks to all who participated. I will keep you posted
9/12/2007 10:27 pm : Thank you to everyone who got in on this. We are at the point now of having enough to get the max discounts on pen kits (still missing a few pen blanks but I may have someone to step up and get us over 100)and I am closing the buy so that I can finish up paypal requests, order tabulations and such. Once all the monies are paid up I will submit the order and get the other part of this complete. Thanks again to everyone who made a purchase.
9/12/2007 4:00 pm ok everyone Im back had a long night and got a little sleep today, so im back here with the group buy. Right now as it stands we have requested the following amounts.
158 pen kits
85 pen blanks
21 sets of bushings
Mine are not listed in the post but are listed in the totals (im in for 40 kits and blanks and some bushings). Pen kits are fine and will recieve the maximum discount. Pen blanks are about 15 short of the max discount (need some folks to step up and get us over the top. Hopefully we can get the pen blanks over the top in the next couple hours. At that time I will be closing the group buy and getting everyone thier totals and get the order off to csusa.
9/11/2007 9:30 PM eastern time : Folks Im off to work tonight & I will be unable to reply until sometime in the morning to new posts, fell free to keep adding to the buy, I will catch it it all up when I get back. Have a great night
OK. Here we go!!!!!! I have had a good response to do the group buy from csusa. I missed the last one and so decided to do a smaller version. I hope to limit the Pen kit, Pen blanks, & bushings to 200 or less. I would love to do more. But as you can imagine this is a lot of work. So I want to make this short and sweet. When we get enough orders to meet the full discount on these items. The buy will be closed.
I have listed the items that I think most would be interested in within the scope of this buy. It is very possible that I have left something out. If that’s the case, let me know and we will see about adding it.
Please submit your orders using the list that are provided in the post. (copy and paste) them as a reply to this post.
Special thanks goes out to Chris Koterman (kent4him) as he allowed me to use a portion of his posts from the last csusa group buy to create this one.
NOTE: Out of State checks may take longer to clear so I BEG YOU, please send Postal check or money order.
PAYPAL payments. Preferred Method of payment Please add $0.31 +3.0% to your total (yes including shipping) to cover Paypal charges...sorry. To those who elect to pay via Paypal, please send me an email so I can send you my Paypal username.
SHIPPING:
Will be defaulted to $8.95 via USPS Priority Flat rate box (within USA). It will include tracking.
For smaller orders that will fit the smaller priority box, shipping (within USA) I will refund the difference in shipping.
Domestic Insurance:
I require that you pay for Insurance. I do not want to be responsible for what happens to your order after it leaves my control. The domestic shipping charges are below. Do not include the shipping cost in calculating insurance costs.
$1.65 ................ $0.01 to $50
$2.05 ................ $50.01 to $100
$3.45 ................ $100.01 to $200
$4.60 ................ $200.01 to $300
$5.50 ................ $300.01 to $400
$6.40 ................ $400.01 to $500
$7.30 ................ $500.01 to $600
International orders will be accommodated but will cost more. Sorry, I cannot give rates since I have no idea. FYI, I will only do USPS shipping and the cheaper means may not be insurable. Order at your own risk...or pay the premium. Here is how I will handle International Orders: You Paypal me the amount for the Kits. Once I have your kits, I will get the exact amount for shipping. I will then have you Paypal me a second time to cover the shipping and Paypal charges.
I will not be responsible for any loss or damage once the items leave my hands. That is why insurance is there. In the event it is needed, I will assist on any claims as much as I can.
I hope these terms are acceptable to everyone. Thank you

NOTE:
If you are wondering why the cost per kit and accessories are higher (less than 25% discount)...I add 1% to cover the insurance from CSUSA to me and as a cushion for unforeseen costs that may come up. I will turn any extra money that I collect over to IAP for use of the site. I do not make any money on group buys. I simply get my kits for 25% off with no shipping charges. I will give a detailed account breaking out total kit costs, shipping, insurance and what is turned over to IAP.
