Please log in for more thread options Well, I would like to thank everyone for posting here. I have a few
things to say.
I did not ask for a hobbyist to make strikers, I merely provided an
offer to buy if anyone was interested. There is no need to flame for
this. Also, I didn't know that not being a "regular" here made a
difference.
For information purposes, Strikers commonly go for about 7.00 each
retail, and wholesale for 3.50 or so from someone buying large
quantities. I recently received the price I am willing to pay, but I
will not disgrace any of you "striker artists" so I am not going to
post the price.
Thank you ALL again for your responses.
