With a 30 or 50 MOQ, shouldn't be too hard to do.

I would join a buy for 3 or 4. My interest is Rho/BlkTi
OKLAHOMANThere-in lies the problem you want Rho/BlkTi in maybe roller ball, someone else wants the same but in fountain pen and the some one wants 22K/Rhodium in roller and a 4th in fountain 22K/rhodium, so to get what all want now for the lowest price we're now talking 200 units and thats why we haven't been able to pull off a group buy for the Emperor or Jr. Emperor.
I got a PM from Gene (gbpens) that he was in for 10 Rho/Gold FPs. I could go along with that for 3 or 4. From the poll, looks like (surfsidebill) could add 3+
Does that help anyone make a buy decision?

Go ahead and write it up and send it to me. I'll help you any way I can.I got a PM from Gene (gbpens) that he was in for 10 Rho/Gold FPs. I could go along with that for 3 or 4. From the poll, looks like (surfsidebill) could add 3+

Yes, if Gene is in for 10 Rho/Gold FPs and so am I, and Harry is in for at least 3, we're up to 23, which is getting close to the 30 MOQ. Since I haven't done a Group Purchase before, I'm hesitant, but if it's ok with Monty, I could write it up and then send to him for review, etc. I'd like to go ahead. Appreciate any encouragement.

There is one work-around that helps some: the front end on Jr Emperors is the same as other Jr Series. So for example if 50 Rho/BlkTi Rollerballs were ordered, but say 20 of the buyers wanted FP instead, they could swap a FP front end from a Jr Gent from their own stock, then they would have the desired FP Jr Emperor (and a Jr Gent RB that used to be a FP). The whole idea is we would be down to needing to only order 50 of each accent color (Gold and BlkTi) to satisfy everybody. Or if there were enough wanting just one of the accents, it is a "GO" at only 50 kits. Only slightly complicated.
Bill, sounds like we are pretty close from looking at the polls and doing the math. I believe that SteveG is correct on the interchangeability,but don't know for sure. I did try a swap on between a full Emp and Statesman and it did not work, but I don't any Jr. Emps.
If they are interchangeable, we just need to get counts from brownsfn2, RichF and SteveG on the actual numbers they want in Rho/TI.
