(3-3 edit) Well, I tried to get CSUSA to just look up their numbers and give me a list of what was out, but they made me send them a list, so I compiled a list in two sections totalling nearly 280 numbers and sent it off yesterday. I have not heard back on anything yet, and I think it may be until Monday before I get anything back, if anything at all.
The buy will be wide open and will include pen kits, bushings, tubes, drill bits, and the 7/8" Celluloid blanks that normally go for $3.99. (also posted just below) I was thinking about adding all the blanks, but I saw pages and pages of just blanks and I sure didn't want to get any more over my head than I have already committed to.
I know I'll leave it open for at least 2 weeks so peole can get checks and money orders in. After seeing how much Paypal takes out as a total from everyone on these buys, I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to send payment using other methods.

OK guys, I posted last week that I would start a buy for CSUSA stuff. I am waiting on a call from their CS rep (sweet sounding voice) as to what is out of stock or low inventory on kits. Once I get that list, I will compile what is available and post. As much work as it will be, I'll do a wide open kit buy. Drill bit and bushings included. (full cost) I may get into the Celluloid 7/8 blanks, but we would need 100 to make sure we get the full discount, otherwise I don't believe it would be worth the hassle.
For the rules (and I'll post more in depth) I was going to use the rules Chris used a month or so ago in his buy. ($8.10 default shipping, approx 24% discount so that extra 1% pays for insurance, etc) In going by his final numbers, it appears the formula is pretty fair. Plus, with the large box we can add those blanks and still have plenty of room.
Of course, smaller pen orders will do the $4.05 shipping as long as the pen qty is low enough.
So, the only question is: Do you guys need more pen kits? Do you want the blanks included, and can we get to the 100 mark? How long should the buy stay open?
Let me know and when I get word back, I'll edit my post here as well as the title. (most likely tomorrow as tonight I get to go out with friends)
