Hi:
I'd like to step up and do a group buy on the acrylester blanks from Woodturningz http://woodturningz.com/InlaceAcrylesterPenBlanks.aspx. I talked to Jeff at Woodturningz on Thursday afternoon, and he said that the highest price per blank would be $2.25, if we order 100 blanks. I am estimating (for now) a cost including shipping to me of $2.50 (although I think this will come down). I have put together a estimated cost chart at http://www.omanopa.com/book1.htm - there is a number of blanks listed to the left and a total in the next-to-last right column. The right column is a price-per-blank figured with all the costs included. If I come up with a better estimate, shipping included to me, I will update that link. I will tell you when to paypal me or send me a check.
I believe I can get up to 18 blanks in a small priority box/envelope. Over 18 needs to go in the large box. These figures are reflected in the cost estimation chart.
I think if we move on this quickly we can get it turned around before the Priority Mail price hike in May (17?), so I will cut this off at 6:00 AM Central time on April 21. If I haven't received your payment by Monday evening, April 23, I will take you off the list and order the blanks on April 24.
You can either reply to this post with the number of each blank you want, or email me privately through my profile.
This is my first group buy, so be gentle with me please
- I think I've thought of everything, but am concerned I may have forgotten something.
A reminder: PLEASE don't post your email address in your reply to this post. I will communicate with you and get that from you through a private email.

--------------------
Update April 14, 2007
I revised the price per blank down to 2.38 per blank. Monty said that is what his final price ended up as last October when his did this group buy. Monty also convinced me that the VCR type box (for $4.05 shipping) will hold 20 blanks so the price sheet reflects that. If you ordered 18 blanks and want to add a couple to fill the '20' box that is OK - let me know.
-------------------------
Update April 17, 2007
I just sent PMs to all those who have ordered with the total and an email address to remit the PayPal funds to. Just a few days left to participate.
