    You didn't need that tidbit of info to figure that out![]

    No, but I can bring cold hard proof to my GF that while I might be crazy with this stuff we are in good company. [8D]

    Although I'm sure he doesn't pay that.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">

    When you buy 1000 at a time you can get them a little cheaper =)

    Then you cut them in 1/2 you get a lot of lightsaber blades!

    No wonder you needed to move![]

    There's 1,785 members as of this moment...
    Most probably just signed on to see what it was all about, but there are some on here that use Tim as there supplier for their saber business, and probably more than make up for those that didn't buy anything..

    I'd say he has.
    Or is very close

    2,000 blades...


    That's $28,000 in blades in your shop![:0] I hope you have insurance![]

    It never really clicked until now how much money you have invested into this...

    That's just for one part... Multiply that by all the rest of the stuff you sell, not that you'll have that many of every part, and that's a hefty chunk of change! [:0]

    If you didn't mind, I'd like to discuss with you how you got this started, being interested in starting my own business at some point. Over PM’s of coarse, if you preferred.

    I was pondering... 1000 blades would be 100" x 100" I think that's more mind boggling to think of. More than 8' x 8' of PolyC all lined/stacked up somewhere. When Tim gets shipments... he gets shipments.[:0]

    EDIT: I also thought of things like how much Ultra buys gives us a peak into the volumes of stuff Tim deals with. If Ultra has 50-90 some (whatever his Ebay store has listed as available) that shows how many main sections, pommel #4's, etc...

    Well... that settles it for me. All my projects will be supplied by TCSS! I'm planning on modifying my MHS saber and building my sons each one at tax time, because their Hasbros just can't quite take the abuse. [}][}][}]
