Your order isnt considered bulk until you buy 10 pounds of one type of candy. I have to order 5-10 pounds of something to sell you the one pound you want. If you want price breaks order less variety and more quantity. One pound isnt gonna get you any deals. Also, please keep in mind that i have to make money too. It costs me $30-60 per order and im only getting 1 coin in return for most orders. Im going in debt to bring you your candy. If i dont sell it all i lose. I also have to hope trading my real money for coins pays off. Im not sure what you were expecting price wise but i think 1 coin per pound is fair.

I hate to break it to you rjk but your order is NOT considered ordering in bulk. Again, i have to order 5-10 pounds of something to sell you ONE pound. Try ordering less variety and more quantity. One pound isnt gonna get you any deals. Please keep in mind that i have to make money too. It costs me $30-60 per order and im only getting one coin in return. Im going in debt to bring you your candy. I have to hope that im able to sell it all and recover my money. I also have to pull money out of my pocket to ship to you. And hope trading my real money for coins pays off. Im not sure what you were expecting price wise but i think 1 coin per pound is more than fair.
OK cool! I agree, the amounts I initially specified are fair at the prices you said. I was trying to figure out what quantity "bulk" was, and it sounds like upwards of 10 pounds is the number. Now that I have a better idea of it,  I shall be reviewing my order and increasing it in view of making it so you don't have a whole bunch of leftover candy from my order. It might take mew a few days to get more coin together, and once I have it I'll be revising my order upwards in amounts that will hopefully be nice even quantities. For the stuff that I don't want much of (1 pound or so), I'll just strike that off the order.

Since I will be making the order larger, I would be glad to send half first, but it will take me a few days to get it together.

Im glad we have an understanding. Bulk prices dont kick in until you order 5-10 pounds. If you want 1 pound or 1 bag of something i already have laying around thats NP. But 1 pound for something i have to order doesnt really work. If you want special orders please order at least 2 pounds.

I would appreciate doing half and half. You have high posts so i wouldnt mind shipping first for a few pounds. But i have to get some kind of commitment from the people requesting large amounts of candy from me.

So do you have PEZ laying around?

How many pounds do you order PEZ by? If it's a reasonable amount I may be down to buy the whole order lol.

Hmmm. Sorry I think I'll have to back down. That price is too high for me. Maybe next time though.

Compare my price to retail. You would have to buy 7 of those to get a pound. At $2 a pack plus tax it would cost $15 for 1 pound.

Im charging $8.5 a pound. Amazon is charging $15.24 for 1.3 pounds. You have to buy 2 packs and spend $30 to get free ship. My price beats both of them.     Grin

Hmm didn't think of it like that. Fine I'll take 2 pounds for 4.6 BTC. (1.8 BTC per pound + 1 BTC shipping if I'm correct)

I agree, trying to figure out the real value is tricky. Its easy to think i can get a snickers bar for $0.75 why would i give you 1 or 2 coins? And you would be right, you can get a snickers from the store for less than $1. But when you crunch the numbers and figure out your cost by weight i will almost always have the better price cause i order in bulk. Even if my price was the same it would still be better to buy from me cause your paying with currency that wont cost you anything out of pocket. Its like your getting something for nothing.
