Well I have commited myself to doing a bunch of pens for the troops and the pens of hope and I saw 2 sellers on ebay one had over 1150 cocobolo balnks in different listings and another had 350 bocote blanks listed lots of 25 in each listing. So I pm them on ebay and asked for donation to support our cause's one email me back and said NO THANKS, the other has not responded to either email I have sent them. Just wondering if I could say whom they are so we here on IAP don't buy from them. by the way I have purchased from both people. I now know that the venders here on IAP go far beyound the ebay sellers, I will not buy from the ebayers again...... Just had to get it off my mind....
