So, am I going to get raped on shipping?

From HAPP - YES!

That's what I thought. Does anyone know of another vendor who sells these in bulk, but doesn't charge nearly $2 per switch?

You should phone Happs and talk to them directly about the shipping costs for a bulk order. Do not rely on the website order pages.

See if Ponyboy here on BYOAC will help. He deals with Happs and is great.

Why not buy them from the company that's manufacturing the buttons?

Alternatively, you could go direct to Cherry.

How are these colors? I like set 1 better than set 2, but it's mostly up to you guys.

EndTwist · « **Reply #485 on:** May 20, 2005, 03:32:35 pm »

A few more:

To get accurate colors, nab the RGBs out of the samples.

I like the green from set 2 and the purple and yellow from set 1.

I like the green Shawnzilla already has, and I like the purple in EndTwist's Set 1.

The official website is now up. It is NOT nearly complete, as I just got the domain tonight. Over the next month I will be getting it up to speed and starting to list products, etc...

Looking good. I thought I'd mention one thing though. Your order form says Paypal is bank transfers only. I'm assuming that is because you only have a personal PayPal account.

There is a limit on how much money you can take in each month with a personal account ($500 IIRC), and I have a feeling you might go beyond that with these buttons.... you might have to spring for a business account, otherwise you might be forced to NOT accept paypal for part of the month if you go over your limit, which could get annoying fast for both you and your customers.

Just my .02

With a business acct comes an increase in fee's as well. You can accept more money and send more money, but with each transaction comes fee's regardless of source. Hopefully this wont increase the overhead cost of selling the buttons by too much.

I will be accepting paypal payments from credit card sources as well. What you saw was an old version of the page that has since been updated (the site is going to update a lot in the next couple of weeks).

This might have been asked in this large thread. I will slowly wade through it all again.
Does the happ concave buttons work with these?
I'd like a red translucent holder with a solid player 1 center.

So did shawn sell out on these buttons? I've tried getting to his website - http://www.fxbuttons.com/ - for the past two days and it appears to be down. Also PM'd him, but haven't heard back yet. Anyone in the know?

The site is working fine for me.

The site says that Clear & Blue are the only 2 buttons that are currently sold out.

Thanks, versapak. Not sure why I can't reach it. Maybe it's a west coast thing.

hypernova · « **Reply #501 on:** October 07, 2005, 05:45:32 pm »

i emailed him a few days ago, and he informed me that he just got some clear buttons in.

Tiger-Heli · « **Reply #504 on:** December 08, 2005, 04:05:45 pm »

2005, several members already have their's. There was a big discussion on different lighting and frosting (but not icing . . .) methods.

mccoy178 · « **Reply #505 on:** December 09, 2005, 12:23:28 am »

As far as I know, everything is in. He was waiting on red buttons to get in and when they did, he waived shipping and priority shipped them. I received them from the USPS on a Sunday. Shawn is another valuable dealer in the community!

webgeek · « **Reply #506 on:** December 11, 2005, 11:04:53 am »

I just had my clear buttons hand-delivered from Shawn. Apparently he lives just a few miles away from me

Overall, I'm very pleased with the whole process and will do business with him again in the future. Thanks!

Mike
