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.


Gabriel,

Steve has agreed to take care of getting my split (1/2 gross) to me here in Australia and I'll cover freight and other costs.

Cheers Martin

36 sets of what gauge, Greg?
Maybe if you want mediums you can talk Martin out of a quarter gross?

I just put in my order for 144 sets of the D’Addario Phosphor Bronze Light strings. I want to keep 36 sets at least, and 72 at most. I would be willing to break up the remaining 72/108 sets into 2/3 lots of 36. I will repackage them into 6-string sets, each set enclosed in its own heat-sealed 6" wide poly bag (so they will be loosely coiled). I will handle them with white cotton gloves at all times. Price per 36 sets will be $90 plus shipping to you at cost. First 3 PM's that follow through with PayPal will secure.

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.


No takers on this so far i would be gratefull if someone could help me out.

maybe all the uk guys can get together and get one person to ship the strings to us on my ups account we would save money this way,
I could probably swallow the international shipping.

Joel.

Not too many interested in mediums. Hanz and Franz, Steve, Greg and I seem to be the only folks around here with the grip to handle 'em 8-) . I don't know how quickly Steve wants to place our order, I got the impression Lance wasn't going to make the BIG order until the end of the month.

If another gross of mediums doesn't form before ours gets ordered, I'll split my 1/4 - 18 sets.

I'd like 1/4 gross of mediums if possible. I'm not sure who to respond to or contact on this thread though.

Thanks

Dave,

You have a PM from me as well.

I can pay via Pay Pal as soon as you verify that I'm in.
Also if you already know shipping, please let me know that as well or if you just want me to pay the $90 now and pay the shipping once you know what it is.

Thanks.

Mike- I sent you a PM. Perhaps Glen and I can go in with you on a gross of mediums.
This does get a bit confusing!

Ok. I decided to try and decipher all of this.

Please post if you see your name and shouldn't or don't see your name and should.
Also please double check the quantity and type. This only pertains to those who are Ordering and handling the Gross.
Hopefully this will help Lance.

From what I've read, these are the only sure things. And there were plenty other potential orders.

Wade S. – 1 Gross Lights
stan thomison – 1 Gross Lights, 1 Gross Medium
Dave Fifield – 1 Gross Lights
Kiwigeo – 1 Gross Medium

I am still looking for someone who will split an order with me for mediums or possibly sell me a portion of their order.
