Anyone interested on a group buy on SLIM TRIPLE (and doubles) dvd cases?

If you are like me, you are fast running out of room. I need slim triples. I found a seller willing to go 50 for $50 shipped, but I don't need 50. I looking for others to go in with me. I am a Gold Trader and have substantial eBay feedback.

Also has 50 slim doubles for $34 shipped

I am sure that he will go down if the order is substantial.

Feel free to post or e-mail.

Just to clarify, it would be great to get 4-5 people taking at least 10 each.

I would have to ship these to you once they came, but I would charge actual shipping (of course!)

Rypro, right now I'm just taking a tally. We need the minimum numbers to make this deal work.

So they'd be $1 each plus shipping?
I'd be willing to go in on some.

Looks like about $1 for the triples and $.75 for the doubles.

Which slim triples are these? could you post a link to the sale so we can see the specs? I'm re-doing my collection, and I'd kinda like for everything to be uniform.(I'm going with the Nextpak solution).

Sorry Im a little confused, could someone compare the width to another type of case? The "slim triples" I was used to were about the same width as the thick double (forrest gump) are these the width of a single case or a double?
thanks!

These are the width of a standard single size keepcase. I've purchased some of them from pakpal a while back and love them.

Here are some pics I took when I first got them:

Something you guys may wish to consider is that whenever you order a case of DVD cases there are typically a few bad apples in the bunch (a couple that have excess scuffs/ scratches/ nicks / tears, etc.). If you're buying a case of 50, then you might want to take orders for up to 40, so one person isn't left with all the "junk ones."

Andrea, Pakpal is the seller that I got my case of 50 from (the exact same type in your pics above).

GOOD NEWS!! I talked with Brian of Pakpal he does in fact have the slim triples that we prefer:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=2795204038

He also has the slim doubles

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...EBWA%3AIT&rd=1

It looks like 100 slim doubles and 50 slim tripes will run us $100 shipped to me and then shipping to you. I will charge actual shipping.

So it's $.50 per double, $1 per triple.

I will order how ever many we want. I will gladly take 25 doubles and 10 triples. Please, only 10+ or more quantities.

In relation to the comment above about damaged cases, perhaps we should allow for that possibility.

I'm interested. :-) 10 would suit me just fine. I DID find a few other places that are offering these...dunno if "we" can get a better deal or not.

Of course, if we could talk someone like Sleeve City (I've gotten cases through them before) into carrying this line, it would make all our lives a bit easier...I could be wrong tho.

I have e-mailed everyone who was interested in the slim triples. I will put the buy through when I get everyone's money together.

I will be doing a slim doubles buy after we finish with the triples.

I may be interested in the last 5 if you don't get a taker for the 10. I think I still have some left from the last ones I bought, but I could always use more. Randy B A

Am I too late in the game to join in??
I just discovered this thread and from reading through it, it sounds as though the ordering is done.
If I am too late, can someone point me in the direction of which I can order a bunch of the cases?? I'd appreciate it.
I'm probably looking to get like...
60 double slims
20 triple slims

Thanks
