I would if they are 80/20 EXP's but it seems everyone else likes the phosphors better.

I would do a 1/4 gross of medium phosphor bronze. Just don't need more than that this year.

Edit: If that quantity is not worth fooling with then no big deal. idunno

Assuming they are around 2.50ish a set, i would go for 1/3-1/2 gross pb lights in Seattle if anyone else wants to go in around here. How much more are exp? I would also get 1 or 2 doz mediums if possible.

Would there be anyone in the Coastal BC neighbourhood who would be interested in splitting a gross of medium and light?

I will be in for something phosphor bronze for sure. At least a gross of lights.

Thanks Lance!

I think around 2.5 a set for the regulars. Not sure about the coated strings. Once enough people show interest, Lance will probably give the details.

So I think we have enough interest. Ive been letting this thread steep a little and wait to see what happens.
I will contact Daddario and get firm pricing on a bulk buy. All orders that are split will be shipped from me to one person, you can
split the order.


More later!

It may be helpful for those like me who are unsure how many sets are in a gross to have an idea. I may be able to coax a few locals to join me then.

Thanks!

Good point Doc. We've done the bulk string buy 3 or 4 times and I keep thinking everybody just knows how it goes. My bad oops_sign
Here is the info from last time. I suspect the pricing will be VERY close to the same.

A gross is 144 sets and that is the MINIMUM order. You can pair off with others and split them up your selves if you like but I will only be shipping out by the gross.

THIS IS FOR PB LIGHTS PB MEDIUMS and EXP 12-53 ONLY.


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

PRICE IS 2.50 per set or 360.00 per gross (144 sets) for PB's
3.10 per set or 446.00 per gross (144 sets) for EXP 12-35's

Shipping will be billed separately.

I'd like to go in on some EXP's with anyone else who is interested. I'd probably want some regular PB's as well.
