10 rnd tubes

[greenmtn]

There was some talk on MCB about where to buy bulk 10 rnd tubes, it seemed like they were hard to find so I mentioned that there is a small injection molding place in my home town that does some smaller quantity stuff from time to time and I said that I would look into getting some made.
I have an appointment to go in and talk to them about doing this on Wednesday.  That’s all the information I can give you at this point because it’s all that I have.

What I’m asking is that anyone that would be interested or knows someone that would be interested answer the questions below, PM ANSWERS PLEASE as accurately as possible and I will pass the information on and get back to you guys.

Location:
How many would you purchase:
How often would you purchase them:
How much would you expect to pay:

Disclaimer – I’m not looking to get anything out of this outside of being able to go to somebody’s store or site and find tubes when I need them, if it happens it will be a transaction between the manufacturer and the customers I’m just trying to get the ball rolling for the before mentioned reason.  Anyone that does answer the questions above, your information will be confidential.

Probably going to be quite pricey.  I do have the contact info for _the_ place that makes 10 round tubes, but I haven't yet gotten around to contacting them for info.

Today we find out

yeah, working in injection moulding (notice the correct spelling?) the cost of the tool........you can't make enough tubes to offset the price of it.  and i'm not paying $100 for a tube

So the guy in the moulding company I talked to didn't seem very excited about it but said that he would see what he could do and get back to me today with some numbers.

I know this wasn't quite the intent of your thread, but I figured it's better than starting a new one.


Does anyone know websites that currently have 10 round tubes and caps for sale?

I purchased mine from 888 about 7 years ago for about $8 per 100. Starting to run low since I've had to fund a few friends who bought Phantoms.

I get mine from O'dells, but it's not bulk pricing, so it's not as good as $8/100. I really doubt you'll be able to find that right now though, anyway.

Caps I will be carrying in stock soon, tubes I am having made from scratch.

Long ago, I purchased 100 tubes and caps.
I've lost or broken perhaps 70 of those during the past ten years.
Still having 30 or so, I have no immediate need for more.

A field local to me buys them and gives them away to pump players (Buy a bag of 100 balls, get two tubes free). They told me they pay $16.00 per 100 with caps.
So figure 6 for a buck at their cost. And they seemed to have no problem getting them.
