I will go with some one. I will do at least 48 sets if anyone wants to get in on this with me, I will pay for it and have it shipped here if ok with others and then send them out and you can do me for your share on paypal. This may be easier for Lance with the books. I think it comes out to about $2.50 a set. I would prefer of course some taking at least 20 sets.

Hey Stan... were you thinking about lights? If so, count me in for 48 sets as well.

Thanks, Stan

OK it looks like JJ, Stan, and I are each in for 1/4 gross respectively of lights so we need one more person to join us for the 1/4 gross of lights. Hopefully that person will be our manager too receiving the funds, getting them to Lance, and dividing the order when it arrives and sending us our 1/4 gross each. Of course we all will equally share the shipping costs to the manager and absorb our own individual shipping costs.

Any takers?

I would one gross of light gauge and one of medium if there is anyone who is willing to ship to me in england from the states.
i have a ups account so shipping will be an will be paid on my end.

If any one wants say half a gross or something i would be willing to go halves on another gross of whatever they are looking for if they recive my strings as well and forward them on to me.

I.E. all the string would go to you you take your strings and forward mine to via ups on my account.

If anyone is willing to help with this send me a pm.

Joel.

I still have room in my thing for 40 sets. I am doing with JJ and Hesh but keeping commentment for the thread I started. If need any amount PM me. Once set up I would appreciate payment for them less the shipping as I will be putting out for 1 and quarter gross. I don't know when the shipment will be here, but once here, I will seperate and send them within 2 or 3 days. Will come up with some way to seperate gauges of strings and then to the folks buying them. I do my string seperation for shop like Lance and put them in plastic pipe. I may do that but will see how much larger the package would be and cost. I want to do the easy way, but also affordable for folks. Please anyone needing sets pm as soon as possible

Shoot, put it that way and I'll take 1/4 (and I don't even play mediums).

Actually, I'm serious. Would prefer 20 sets to 36 if we can round up enough cajones around here. Seems like a bunch of lightweights populate these parts, I had no idea.

Honey! Another beer!

I'd be in for 24 -36 sets of lights, (prefer 24) if anyone is still looking for some one to go in on an order.

Steve,

If Liquidgabe is ok for 1/4 gross of mediums I'll order 1/2 gross. With your 1/4 gross that makes up a full gross.

I'm still good for a 1/4 if Steve wants to handle the overseas post. I've had a couple of bad experiences with things I sold on ebay and just don't do the international thing. Seems like it might work out that we don't need to split orders going down-under. I think that would be in everyone's best interest.

anybody added up what we are looking at so far? I have seen no paypal deposits so I cant tell off hand. That is the simplest way for me to see....

PLEASE REMEMBER TO PUT WHAT YOU WANT IN THE PAYPAL SUBJECT LINE!!

PB LIGHTS
OR
PB MEDIUMS
NOTHING ELSE!
MAKE TWO ORDERS IF YOU ORDERING BOTH SIZE. This just makes it so much easier to search out.
