Well as we reach Thanksgiving, Dawn and I have been reminiscing a little about the "show season". Nice weekend weather has been met with, "Oh, I hope people still show up!!" and dismal weekends are greeted with, "Well, we don't have to move all that stuff in and out of the fairgrounds in the rain!!"
But on Thanksgiving, I used to spend the day turning cigar pens. Forty of them--from 8 am until I finished (often around midnight).
Last week we received a shipment of a NEW pen from Berea!! They have designed a new transmission, which should go into the 7 mm tube with more tolerance for "imprecision" (in other words, should not crack the blank), as well as operating reliably (not creeping up as you write). The pen is made by their factory in Taiwan---so the reliability is certainly likely to be outstanding!!
From a sales to customer perspective, we think this is a winner!! With the petite centerband and the longer lower barrel, it LOOKS like a ladies' pen. And over 99% of the people we sold to were LADIES!!!
In addition, you CAN sell it in the $20 neighborhood, if you like---cause you can buy the pen AND the pre-tubed barrels for under $5!!
So, take a look here: longline slimline - YouTube
for the Sunday night movie and
here: Exotic Blanks :: Pen Kits :: Pen Kits (By Kit Name) :: Stylish Longline Slimline :: Stylish Longline Slimline Pen Kits - 5 Pack Chrome Plating
you will find the pen, sold by the FIVE pack. YES, $9.95 per FIVE kits is the correct price---we hope to sell large numbers to keep the manufacturer busy and to dissuade Berea from handling it themselves!!
We can only succeed with YOUR support,
Comments are welcome, as always!!
