Update 9.15.2006 New Thread started for ordering- please go to the new group buy thread- thanks, everyone.
I'm running a little low on Jr Statesmen vIIs...... I know a group buy for Jr Gents vII was just completed, so I won't be surprised if there's not enough interest for a group purchase. Feedback would be appreciated on who might be interested in a Jr StatesmanvII and up (emperor & Jr emperor, lotus, imperial, full statesman)group buy?
Update 9.12.06-
Well, it's looking like there might be enough interest to try this- and I've never tried to run one before so please be patient while I check on a few things. I know there's been a good format used previously for designating kit/finish/RB vs FP, etc. I'll contact CSUSA and try to find out what's in stock and what's not. Further update as soon as I have that done
Update 9.14.2006-
Heard back from CSUSA- They indicated they have a large supply of most items I had requested, with a few exceptions--- The Jr. Gent Black Titanium Rollerball is out of stock until the end of October.
The Titanium Jr Gent Roller ball and Fountain pens- available with the smooth end cap only- threaded end caps won't be available until October.
Getting low on the Jr Emperor w/22k gold roller ball- won't have new stock until the end of October.
So, looks like with a few exceptions there should not be a supply issue. The items listed above will not be an option for this group buy. Assuming we get a minimum of 100 pens ordered, we'll go forward. I'll be posting the format Dario and several others have used for this earlier, and will try to keep an updated tally and cumulative total going in this initial post. If you need bushings they well be available for order as well- I'll double check availability since I did not include that on my initial e-mail. Cut-off for this will be next Wednesday, the 20th, at 6:00 PM Central time (assuming we've gotten to the 100 pen mark, if not this will be off). I do have a favor to ask- a little guidance from those who have done this before. While I have a paypal account, it's been pretty much exclusively used for paying, not receiving. If one of you would e-mail me some points on your experience I'd very much appreciate it. Dario, if you still have the spread sheets you mentioned were helpful for tracking, I'd very much appreciate a copy of those as well. I've asked for updated information on pricing, shipping, and insurance. As soon as I can compile, I'll get that posted (likely this evening). Thanks, all, for your patience.
