Anybody want to split a big CD-R order?

[solarbird]

Anybody out there want to split-order some rainbow pack Lightscribe CD-Rs?

Rainbow colour packs of Lightscribe CD-Rs come in five colours, four of which I do not give a damn about. I only want green. My green-only cakepack supplier of MBI discs is out of stock, and is in fact scalping their own last few spindles on eBay for nearly the price, and frankly, I’d rather go with Memorex’s green disc instead of MBI’s green disc anyway. But I’ll look at other brands too.

We can take five spindles and sort ‘em by colour. If there aren’t enough of us I can probably be talked into taking another colour for a future project. Anybody interested? Seriously, talk to me.

Also, don’t forget – end of day April 1st for the review raffle! It’s easy to enter, there really aren’t many rules. XD Clickie!

what are the other colors?

[solarbird]

Depends upon the brand. Memorex is... blue, yellow, green, red, orange, I think.

[lyonesse.livejournal.com]

i could go for orange.

[gesundyke]

i could go for blue.

[maellenkleth]

red

brazen red

brazen commie red

of course

[maellenkleth]

orange matches the summer plumage of lyos, right?

[solarbird]

lol

Of course I wanted the red as my second colour, but I'm not gonna argue XD

[solarbird]

The orange is good. I like it.

The prices I'm seeing are us70¢/disc for the annoying quantity of 72 because there are 18 packs still in stock. Add shipping to that from me to you. So that's like us$55ish for 72 discs, which is a lot per disc. But.

Fuck, I forgot sales tax. Adds like $4, but I was trying to pad shipping so's not to lowball it. I'll have to figure out how much it really costs.

The prices I'm seeing are us70¢/disc for the annoying quantity of 72 because there are 18 packs still in stock at Amazon at that price and even the supplier's own website charges more. Add shipping to that from me to you. Oh, and sales tax, because in-state. Fuck. Anyway that's like us$59ish for 72 discs, which is a lot per disc. I have motivation! Do you still after that?

[maellenkleth]

well, shit then, gimme the yellow, s'okay by me seriously....

(which is to say, stash the yellow ones because you're going to be burning my CD at some point, right?)

[solarbird]

Wow, okay. Yeah, sure! To add cost copypasta from above:

[maellenkleth]

No problem. I can figure out how to pay for that, plus a little bit extra for your pain-in-the-ass of storage, and then when the time comes you can burn me 72 CDs (and we can work out a mutually-agreeable charge for that, too). Thanks.

[gesundyke]

yes. i get paid thursday, we'll work something out after that. is ok?

[solarbird]

Ok! ^_^

Actually now I need to check out HPs colours - if they're good too, then I can get those in much bigger packs (120 disc spindles) which means cheaper per disc. I'll update after I check them. (Still rainbow-pack only, so it doesn't remove the need for a group order! And their colours may suck. Some do. I'll find out!)

[gesundyke]

still in no matter what. just lemme know.

[solarbird]

I cannot find any HP samples to verify against. So I'm not going to mail-order to find out.But! While I was out looking (at one of the places that claimed to have them but did not) I found a place selling the Memorex discs for less! (55¢/disc!) They had lots and it wasn't a clearance, just a sale. I'm going back tomorrow to buy 20 packs = 400 discs = 80 of each colour. So it'll be less (us$44+shipping) for more! Assuming they aren't all gone or something stupid like that.

[solarbird]

Email me a physical address so I can calculate shipping. (crime at crimeandtheforcesofevil dot com) It's gonna be close to the original cost estimate unfortunately because shipping is expensive BUT! for 88 discs instead of 72.

Stupid shipping.
