Here's the deal, Neal: ;-)
Mike has those 500 HHC e-proms for sale -- that will go for scrap if we
don't rescue them. I can afford to buy them one-lump, but I can't afford
actually _keeping_ them (I offered to take up to 30 pounds myself...) so
here's the deal I asked him for:
His scrap deal was $1.25 / pound, and there's 100 pounds. I offered him
$1.30 / pound plus _all_ shipping, packing, handling costs shipped to me in
a few days if I could find enough takers for at least 30 pounds of the things.
Note: I just sent the e-mail to him -- he has *not* agreed to this deal
yet. If he's not for it, I will update the list as quickly as I can.
Anyway, pending the offer, I'd like to hear from anyone interested in some
of these... I will entertain bids of no less than 1/2 pound (25 e-proms),
mainly because anything smaller will be 99% shipping cost, and why not?
I'll be honest: I plan on recouping my costs, but I don't plan on getting
rich for my troubles: I'm thinking of reselling for $1.60 to $1.75 per
pound (remember -- 50 per pound) + UPS shipping and packaging _only if I
have to purchase it_. I have a fair amount of packing material now, and may
be able to pick up the difference for free. If so, there won't be a packing
charge. A lot of this price depends on getting the things shipped to me
(and what they end up costing me if Mike doesn't take the deal), but I
*really* doubt it would be higher than my high estimate.
Anyway, lemme know who'd be interested in some of these, what you'd be
willing to pay (in case I have to sweeten the deal with Mike), and I'll let
Mike know when he mails me back.
How's this sound?
"Merch" -- to the rescue!
