Update: Aug. 10, 2007:
In my last post to this thread, I indicated new samples were requested.
They have arrived and I'll be taking photos tonight plus contacting a member or two
to discuss said samples. To avoid confusion, I'm closing this thread and starting a new one.
I've struggled to find a high quality leather pen case for an affordable price.
<s>I've obtained pricing from a manufacturer for a pen case like the one pictured</s>:
The case would be top-grain leather with a magnet in the flap to hold the case closed. The case holds one pen. Two pen cases would also be available. Manufacturing time is 10-14 weeks. Payment would be required up front -- which is the only thing I'm not excited about. However, as it's a custom item for this manufacturer that is their requirement.
They've quoted as follows:
One pen version:
Quantity: 100, Cost: $8.00 each
Quantity: 200, Cost: $7.60 each
Quantity: 300, Cost: $7.36 each
Quantity: 500, Cost: $7.20 each
Quantity: 1000, Cost: $6.40 each
Two pen version:
Quantity: 100, Cost: $12.50
Quantity: 200, Cost: $11.50
Quantity: 500, Cost: $11.25
Quantity: 1000, Cost: $10.00
I'm not looking to make money on this. I've added nothing to their quote and will try to negotiate better terms if there is a real interest.
-----
Here's how I will do this:
I'll leave this GI open for two weeks to see if there's real interest.
If not, OR if someone posts a much better active source, I'll close it.
If there is interest, I'll take orders payable up front, leave it open for a reasonable time and then place the order with this manufacturer.
The manufacturer is within short driving distance from my place of work, so that I can visit with them and make certain everything is proceeding properly.
Feel free to post your responses and any concerns to this GB.
