In Response To: Other: I'm nuts. Group purchase of float bag valves? *Pic* (Shawn Baker)

: Hi All,

: I checked prices with halkey-roberts for their "tube end drain
: valves". They have a minimum order $250 per item per shipment.

: The price break at 1,000+ valves is $0.1280 each.

: $250 would buy us 1,953 valves. Anybody want to go in on a group purchase??!
: :D $10 would buy you a lifetime supply of 80 valves!!! (I need 25 people
: for a group purchase to do that--could it happen?!)

I think I'm up to 5 'S o F' boats now, so I'm in for a batch, whichever the general consensous decides on.

I remember the thread about this particular valve... I think we were trying to decide on a certain clear tubing or rolling our own tubing and this was the particular size that seemed to work out.

Oh, and your welcome Shawn. And THANK YOU as well.

Oh, and by the way, I took the swatch of 9 (10)oz Poly fabric that Mike sent me and went around to the tent and awning place here local. They told me point blank, " they don't use this cloth for our work." :) He asked where I got it and I told him Tacoma Tent and Awning and he was sorta surprised. The short is... I can't get it here, so I will probably order from Tacoma T.& A. if they will ship it here.

Now who was it that had that bolt of 9oz. poly for a group order?? :)
