Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted March 6, 2011 Members Report Posted March 6, 2011 Something that Reddevil, Lazybum, and Crimson should consider is combining orders to help keep costs down. It is called a group buy. A few years ago I was working with parts kits, these are de-miled military weapons, mostly obsolete machine guns that have had the receivers cut. One website put together group buys, so that individuals could get the lower prices that dealers got. The way it worked was that by combining our orders we were able to get the volume requested by the wholesaler to give a discount. In some cases that meant 10-25 units, sometimes it was 100 units. Once he had the required number of potential orders, he would finalize the deal. Some wholesales would only ship to him which required him to repackage, and reship to the individual purchasers. Other wholesales would drop ship to out individual addresses. Depending on how far apart each of you is from the other this may help everyone out, as some of our discounts were pretty substantial-in some cases over $100 per kit. Now just a note on parts kits. Here in the USA they can be used to repair legally owned machine guns of that model, used to build sample machine guns for various agencies/dealer uses, converted to non functioning displays, or legal semi auto only firearms for non Class 3 shooting. All above the board and with full approval by the BATFE. Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.

Members joe59 Posted March 8, 2011 Members Report Posted March 8, 2011 I started using Sheridan Leather for most all of my leather needs. Luke and Vandy are excellent people to work with. They will take the time to talk with their customers to find out what you are looking for. I've seen them at the leather shows and they have a great attitude. It dosen't matter if you deal with in person or over the phone the coustomer service is second to none and their leather is top notch. JOE Quote
