I'm in again can't believe it's been a year already

I'm in again and like option B.

Mike

Here is the voting so far:
A - 0
B - 2
C - 0
D - 0

with 2 other votes split between B or C

All, if the majority goes with Option B would everyone be able to do $21 or $22 to help Dwight cover paypal, postage, supplies?

It is fine with me, and up to Dwight which amount he would prefer since he is closer to the actual mailing, paypal, and supplies costs.

Guessing it would be $22 per person. Figuring 9 people at aprox $2.50 postage ($22.50) and paypal fees of $0.75 each ($6.75). At $21 that would only bring in an extra $33 (after $177 for product), which means Dwight would have less than $4 left for supplies, but at $22 he would have almost an extra $14 for supplies.

Post your thoughts. Thanks.

Paypal on $20 is .88, not being nitpicky it is steep but is easier than dealing with folks sending money, as I can buy the boxes with the Paypal. So most of the time after fees and postage I break even if lucky, but that's not counting supplies at all. I try to keep it reasonable, that and many of you send me extra for supplies from time to time, so not a problem usually. Just until I get my heat pump paid off, it is harder for me to eat the costs (don't need the wife telling me we can't afford me doing this, as I really enjoy it ).

Got a case of toploaders coming this week (like $67 including shipping for 40 packs of the 16 mil ones) and some more team bags.

Does the Champs have all teams in it? Or would we end up with some "dead draws" as I don't think all are in the Parkie if I remember right.

Waiting on Bob and David to check in.

Dwight

Please add Me to the waiting list thanks

Sorry paypal was an estimate, I knew the base charge was around $0.40, but could not remember the percentage per $1. I only missed it by $0.13 pretty good for a guess.

Based on that then would the $22 be the proper amount, or do you need more?

I beleive Champs has all the teams in it, but some teams have less than others with only a 100 card base set. Looked at the base set and it appears all teams are represented. Not sure on the gu / autos.

Parkie does have some "dead" teams.

I'll likely send and extra $5 anyway... I did so for football in March (or was it hockey? one of 'em).

Added to waiting list, thanks

See if we can get some more feedback, if that is what we go with then $22 is fine or whatever anyone can swing (it all averages out usually, Paypal is a bit more from Canada for some reason, but I'm not going to be biased as to where one lives).

See if we can get the last two to check in and get feedback as to what they want, then get this rolling

Dwight

Champs has all Teams in it

I will jump off the fence, I am no longer split. I'll side with option C. In addition I can toss in a little extra this month I think.

Here is the voting so far:
A - 0
B - 2
C - 1
D - 0

with 1 other votes split between B or C

Anyone else in the group want to pick a selection from the main post?

Looking to get on the Waitlist, thanks
Michael

Michael,

I will add you to the waiting list and drop you a PM when you are next in line

Dwight

Looks like the Champs has gone up a bit (approx $5 from what I'm seeing at the moment). Will shop around more once we get payments coming in and everyone checked in.
Sent David a PM. Haven't tried Bob yet but hoping he wander in and verify soon, as he rarely answers my PMs

Dwight

sorry for not checking in sooner.....I always forget to search for the break page...

I am in again....I will go with whatever - Option B is fine

One of these days we should break some 05-06 product

Here is the voting so far:
A - 0
B - 4
C - 1
D - 0

I guess I will vote B now that it seems to be having a majority.

Cheapest I'm finding Champs is at DA right now, but the Parkie is less now there, so actually $1 less than what was in options:

08-09 Champs $109 (2 au, 1 gu, 12 reg rcs, 2 mini rcs)
06-07 Parkhurst $67 (4 au)

Total $176 (6 au, 1 gu, 14 rcs)

See if we can get Bob to check in . Get payments going and get this ordered as looks like that is going to have the majority since I still have my vote to play with. Looking like $22-$23 a spot (for those that can afford that).

Dwight

DCS has Champs for 105 and Parkie for $62 (that's where I got my Champs) you also get a free "gift" of packs: http://www.dcssportscards.com

I saw that, but the one thing I don't like about their site is they list things they don't have in stock

The Parkie says "out of stock", yet they still list it and a price

Thanks for looking out for us though
