Order Status - Closed, totaling up the order now. Here are the stats:

Merchandise total $2,753.64

Total Items 413
Total Pen Kits 289

UPDATE 6/6 - Shipment arrived and everything is present and accounted for! Wow, that a lot of pen kit. I'm sorting and checking all orders. I expect to have them all shipped by Friday. I've also learned that 20 kits won't fit into a $4.60 flat rate envelope (internally boxed) but I think everything will work out on the shipping just the same. Watch your mailboxes soon and please confirm delivery.

UPDATE 6/1 - Kits are on the way to me! Dates below still look good. The package weighed in at 39 lbs. That makes a pound of pen kits worth about $70!

UPDATE 5/31 - I spoke with Bill at AS and the backordered kits have arrived and they should ship to me tomorrow. I'm guessing delivery to me on Tuesday 6/5 and I hope to be shipping them to everyone no later than 6/7. Bill has been super helpful and its a pleasure doing business with someone who says what they will do and does what they say. Thanks for everyone's patience, we will all have our kits soon!

BTW, instructions for the kits are available on the AS site. I'll send out links to everyone but if anyone needs actual hardcopy, let me know and I will print and send it to you.

Update 5/10 - added Sedona RB's and FP's. Also added extra tubes and drill bits.

OK, I'm going to give this group buy thing a try. This is my first attempt so if anyone see's a problem with what I'm proposing, I would greatly appreciate the input. This buy will cover Barons (RB and FP), Sierras and Sierra Vistas. I'm going to limit the buy to US currency and US shipping addresses just because I have no ideas what would be incurred on international shipping. I'm going to project the pricing to the 100+ on the Barons and 50+ on the Sierras (these are the highest discounts available) but we will have to hit the 100 kit total for this to work (I don't think this will be a problem).

Because I'm planning on a cutoff date for orders of May 21st I'm only going to be able to accept Paypal payments.

Bushing kits will also be available but there is no quantity discount. Bushings for these kits are $6.00 each.

Shipping will be via USPS priority mail to US addresses only (new rates in effect after May 14th):
$4.60 for 1 â€" 20 kits
$8.95 for 21 - 40 kits
Email me for more than 40 kits

Insurance rate (required)
$0.01 to $50 $1.65
$50.01 to $100 $2.05
$100.01 to $200 $2.45
$200.01 to $300 $4.60
$300.01 to $400 $5.50
$400.01 to $500 $6.40
If your order is more than $500, I'll quote insurance separately.

Paypal charges will be applied to your total bill (including shipping and insurance)
3% of your total + $0.30

Also, there will be a $0.20 per item charge to cover actual shipping and insurance from AS to me.

As an example, consider an assortment of 10 pen kits and 2 bushing sets where the merchandise total is $85.00. The total cost would work out as follows:

$85.00 for merchandise
$ 4.60 for priority shipping
$ 2.05 for insurance
$ 2.40 AS shipping to me for 12 items at $0.20 each
$94.05 Subtotal
$ 3.12 Paypal fees
$97.17 Total amount due via Paypal

Greg,

I'm only taking Paypal because waiting for personal checks to clear would extend the buy by at least 10 days. I'll also admit that I'm new at this and felt that Paypal payments would be easier to manage.

John
 
I understand. Guess I'm out (for now anyway) on this one as my PP account is running low. Does anyone know where I can view a pic of a completed Sierra Vista?
 
I don't know of a completed pic, Greg, but its .049" bigger at nib end, and .040" bigger at finial end, than a Sierra. That's a very small measurement--just a bit larger than a spark plug gap, if that helps--so the pen is going to look very much like a Sierra.
 
John

I too would like to participate, and can send a US Postal Money order, that your bank will cash way faster than a personal check. IF you give the guys enough lead time on the total, today being the 9th, they should be able to send it along. Just food for thought. If you decide to take a US Postal Money Order, I am in for 20-50 of the Barons.

Thanks

Robert
 
can you add bits/tubes to the order? fine if not, I will put in a separate order but would like to save shipping...

ManyThanks for hosting this!

Jon
 
Excuse my ignorance but from which vendor are these coming?

I'd like to know so I can look at their web page and see what I'm purchasing. I've done mostly slimlines adn I'm not familiar with the names of the various kits.

Only in the US. Barons are available from a Canadian supllier but he can not export them to the USA.

Mick,

The buy is open through May 21st.

Jon,

I'll add the bits and tubes. There won't be any discounts but it will save shipping. My bad on leaving them out.

Julia,

Yes, Arizona Silouette's website would be the best website to check. You can also search this website as I'm sure the members here have done this kits proud!

Question about Baron:
http://www.penturners.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=23606&SearchTerms=baron,fountain
Is the band at the opening of the cap of this Baron standard? If not, how do I get one? I really like it!

Julia
 
Julia the centerband comes in three pieces. The piece you see on Gerry's pen and two rings, one black and the other the same plating as the kit. Just leave the two rings off.
 
Julia,
I think what Gerry did there was leave off the two trim rings; the regular CB on a Baron is actually 3 pieces.
That looks like the main body of the CB without the other two parts.
Pretty nice adaptation.

Since others might want to see the difference, here is a Vista and regular Sierra I made, front and side views....

Hope this helps
