Is there enough interest to get a group buy going for the Sharpie sized taps. At around 12 people, the price drops to about $40 to your door. To be clear, I can't run it but would love to buy one.
I can run a group buy.
I'll call Tapco on Monday and get the particulars.
Correct me if I am wrong but all that would be needed for this pen would be a plug not a bottoming tap right?

You are not wrong. However if you are like me and don't think that translucent or transparent pens look good with threads that run past what is needed, you'll want a bottom tap too. You start with the plug tap and switch to the bottom to end the threads cleanly, just past what you need to seat the Sharpie. Not an issue if you're using a solid material.
They will be able to do that. The style is done after the fact and easy to change. Also you can have your taper tap reground into a bottom tap at a later time if you wish.
I was one of those on the fence but I would like one of each, depending on the price to mind you. I would also like mine Ti treated, or I can have it done after I receive the order. If memory serves it is $9 per unit to Ti treat.
