I'd like to get an idea of who would be interested in a bulk string buy?
I have had multiple inquires as to when we will be doing this again.
Now seems as good a time as any.
They would be DAddarios, probably pb lights.
I don't yet have a price but it should in the ball park as last time.
We will only offer one type.

Here are the requirments.
You must order at least 1 gross or 144 sets.
You can split them amoung your selves but for me, i will only ship by the
Gross and to one address per order.


Let me know who's interested by a simple yes.
Please don't fill this thread or my inbox with questions.
This is only a feeler.

If Elixir nanowebs, I'm in. But this is one of those personal preference issues that only applies to lovers of the promoted string. BTW, Taylor now actively promotes Elixir!

I'm interested in buying bulk strings.

I don't need 144 sets of strings, but I would be willing to front a group of two or three other people to split an order. If you're interested, send me a message.

Elixirs for me. Standard strings go dead in about 20 minutes for me.

No, unless its Elixirs. I'd certainly like to see the price difference between Elixirs and your proposal.

Sounds like the guys who like Elixirs could get together for a group buy of their own.
I might be interested in half a gross if someone wanted to split an order after the fact.
I got in on this last time & it was an incredibly good deal. If there's enough interest, I might be in for a half gross of mediums, too.
I would be willing to split an order & send strings to a few other people.

Hey guys, I did not mean to split the thread with regards to Elixirs... so sorry. I am up to my eyeballs in AST shell, but if there is interest, I will persue an Elixir group by after things settle down.

All you D'Adario fans, please proceed and ignore my rude intrusion here..

Mike

How many packs of strings is a gross? And what's the cost for a gross?

Thanks!
