Hi all,

I got the quote. Here is my problem.

How do I handle the requests?

My source is really only interested in one single order not 100 small orders.

So... How do we work this?

Two issues have to be resolved:

#1 Is there enough interest to make this worth the bother?

#2 If there is enough interest, How do we make this as painless as possible for me?

As to #1:
E-mail me if you are interested. If a sufficient number respond, I we can proceed to step #2. By the way, will someone run this past FIRST and ask them if it is 'officially' legal and also if they would help to publicize it via an e-mail?

As to #2:
Assuming we pass #1, I propose that folks that are interested send me a personal check and a pre-filled out priority mail label AND appropriate postage. I would take orders up to say, Wed. after kickoff. At that time I would place one order. I would payoff the bill with the money sent me and see to it that the parts were mailed out as promptly as possible. I suppose that teams would have the shafts in hand by the second Saturday after the kickoff.

Any thoughts on this proposal?

Oh yeah, the quote: with an order of 200 pieces, the shafts should cost teams about $40 each.
