FS: Piano Roll Boxes
By Rich Ingram

[ Ref. 140111 MMDigest, Seek New "Small" Piano Roll Boxes]

For years I have supplied thousands of small and large roll boxes to
folks needing them, but most of my supply is gone.  There was a time
when I had 5,000+ boxes in stock.  The cost to produce this type of
box has gone up considerably since I first started selling them, so
finding the funds to purchase a large quantity to keep the cost down
has proven to be difficult for me.  I still have several hundred large
boxes (approx. 3" x 3") left, but no small ones (approx. 2" x 2") left.

Part of the problem is the shipping cost.  Getting them _from_ the
manufacturer (especially a 5,000 piece order) is quite expensive, and
then shipping is added to the customers order.  Because of the bulky
nature of this product, shipping for an empty box is more expensive
than a box with a roll in it!  (Piano rolls can be sent USPS Media Mail).

If it will work out, I may want to get in on a bulk buy so a few of us
can get them cheaper.  Of course I will buying them for resale, but
many folks don't want 100+ boxes, so they are willing to pay more.
Because of increased cost, I know I won't make much profit on these,
but I am willing to buy a larger quantity (more than 100) so that the
discount will cover the shipping costs.

Again, I still have large boxes (Ampico and plain black) in stock, so
there's no need to look into a new order for that size.
