Title: FS: My entire HUGE stock of new Translucent Buttons!
Post by: shawnzilla on June 07, 2007, 10:42:10 am
Well, this is it! I'm finally selling the farm. My wife put her foot down and so I'm selling off the rest of my fxbuttons.com inventory. The contents of my stock are:

Approximately 75 Translucent Red buttons
Approximately 115 Translucent Green Buttons
Approximately 190 Translucent Orange Buttons

I do still have quite a few LEDs as well, but haven't taken a close look yet.

Looking for offers on the whole shebang -- not really interested in breaking up the lot. (although I might be willing to split it into two or three large lots) If I can't get what I think is fair value here, I'll list on Ebay. (but I'd rather a BYOACer benefit from these)

Please PM me your offers (rather than posting offers in the thread).

Thanks!

Awesome!  I could put lit buttons all over the house and make people guess what they do.

Someone asked me a good question this morning. The buttons do not include microswitches. I do have a small quantity of Cherry switches that I'd be willing to part with, if the offer is acceptable.

if you change your mind about splitting them up, I'd take 14 red ones

A ballpark figure might help get this rolling.  I have no idea what a reasonable offer would be.

He has almost 300 buttons there.  He charged $2.00 for them on his website.  You do the math...

TTFN :cheers:

Right, but you don't pay the full unit price in a bulk purchase.  Maybe if he were willing to break it up into a few lots at a lower unit price.

Correct, I'm not expecting $2.00 per button if someone buys the whole thing. I'd prefer not to break it all up, but if you have an offer to make me, then make it. Like I said, I'd be happier knowing that a BYOACer benefitted from these than a random ebay person.

Due to some requests, I've amended the info above. I might be willing to split the lot up into two or three large groups if needed.

Why don't you just sum up what it cost ya, factor in all the work you did to get these made in the first place, and then state your asking price for the whole lot?

I'd love to, but somehow doubt my wife would understand my personal need to have Omnibot serve me my canned beverages.

Trade ya the bot for the buttons.  ;D
