I'm probably the only one looking at this but the sale is over. We are ordering 11,500 tubes from 58 orders. Group buying is a great way to go. Daniel Yourdon sells CA glue that way and we get a great savings.
In a discussion of displays at craft shows we got to talking about putting
> pens in tubes so people could look closely at the pen without handling them.
> The Freedom Pen Group is buying their tubes that they are shipping the pens
> to the military in from Cleartec Packaging. So we got hold of a salesman and
> got the bulk pricing on the tubes. We (I) have been taking orders and we're
> getting close to the 5,000 tubes price break. So I am here to offer the
> tubes for the bulk price to anyone that wants them. I have offered a way to
> purchase with a credit card thru PayPal. PayPal charges me a fee of 2.9%
> plus 30 cents for receiving money. So 100 tubes cost $16.77 and 200 cost
> $33.26, that includes the shipping. It takes up to 3 weeks for Cleartec to
> make the tubes and give them to us after we place our order. We have a
> member that lives close to Cleartec in St. Louis and he is going to pick the
> order up, box the orders and mail them out to all that have ordered. I will
> be announcing to our group on Tuesday that we are ready to place the order.
> So if anyone in this newsgroup is interested in making a purchase let me
> know and I will email off group to get specific info from you so I can you
> send a bill thru PayPal.
>
> Any questions let me know.
