Alright, I e-mailed the guy, and he said that if we got fifty people (riiigggghhhht...), he would knock 'em down to $129.24 +s+h. That was still a little steep, I thought, so I told him to e-mail me back if anything changed.
He also said he could code a "custom" flasher pattern into our 50 sets - whatever we wanted, but the same for all 50 sets. You can save on shipping, too, if he sends two to the same location (i.e., your friend, your eclipse-driving grandma, whoever).
At any rate, it's only ben a few days, but I havn't heard from him. I've written him another e-mail to rag him about how the exposure would help him sell a lot more, yada yada cut us a better deal yada, but I'm not going to send it until I know who's interested. I'm asking for $115... is anyone in?
