Bulk order of 2x2's from U.S.

Triggersmob · January 11, 2014, 01:21:01 PM

Would any of you guys be interested in joining in a bulk order of 2x2's from the U.S.
If enough members order some, I'm sure we could get them landed to you at about
8c each. Anyone interested?
If so, leave a list here of what you would like to order and when I have a total, I will see what it works out at.

Thanks.

Not really after any 2x2's but might be interested in getting some more 1½x1½'s.

I got a bulk lot of them some time back and noticed that I've been using them very quickly lately, especially for my tiny coin and Bird Collections.

Not 100% certain, but I don't think the 2x2's from the US have the little tab on the top.

They don't.

umm so where do the tab one's come from as I find them a little easier to get in and out of the folders

OK. Steve has an idea about a bulk purchase. If you don't want to participate then don't post. Start a new thread if you insist on de-railing this one.

Thank you Mark.

I will be ordering from Air-tite, and they do have 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 as well,
but they do not have the tabs on top.

How about supporting local dealers rather than Aussie money overseas.

Triggersmob · January 11, 2014, 06:33:00 PM

How much can you sell them to me for, Shane?

I'm also after staple 2x2s and you don't list them on your website.

Not wishing to derail/hijack the thread, but this needs an answer.

Because Lighthouse sell self-adhesive 2x2's for US19¢ retail. Discounters are obviously cheaper. Aussie coin dealers sell the exact same item for 30¢ all the way up to 52¢. That's ridiculous and doesn't deserve our support.

Bigfellani5 · January 12, 2014, 11:59:30 AM

It is not the retail price that is the problem. It is our wholesale price that causes the problem. Obviously you can't sell at a loss but the problem is I can't buy direct from the manufacturer like you can in Europe and the USA so I have to rely on an Australian middleman to import and sell to me. If I buy from a USA dealer by the time I add shipping, gst and a fair margin I am "too dear". I guess the buyer has to weigh up short term cost to them getting a cheap item overseas or the long term loss of not ever being able to walk into a coin shop in Australia and getting a personalized service me and other Aussie dealers offer.

Will do a quote for you on Monday Steve.

hey guys
let's get back to the actual order and further discussions about the pros and cons of having a local coin shop and the relativities of retail pricing being another thread?

after all - most of us here sell on ebay - and we don't necessarily source all of our small stocks from dealers coin shops

Nevol · January 12, 2014, 03:56:01 PM

Steve, here is my order of 1½ x 1½ holders:

Penny Size (US 1 Cent)..........500
Quarter Size (US 25 Cent)......800

Thanks for organising this. :yahoo:

Thanks Nancy.
I'll keep a running total in the first post.
Not sure of price 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 yet, but
will let you know. I have come across another
seller in the U.S. selling 100 2x2's at $1.75
so have sent them an e-mail. Waiting for reply.

Will also see what Shane comes up with.

Can you get some prices for self adhesive flips ?
I could do with a few hundred of these
