I just got off the phone with Keith. A couple of issues.
He expects a new (and promised better) shipment of compasses in August. If these check out good then he is back in production, but no one should count on this until he has had a chance to evaluate them.
Keith is also dealing with a ill, aged mother so that will take priority over making cases etc.
Keith is not paypal or Visa ready, so creativity will be required.
Case cost will be $15 to Keith. That means if we find some PayPal or other way to transfer funds the price will increase by whatever the electronic means charge plus postage.
I estimate shipping via Global Priority Mail will cost $5-6 up to a certain number of cases that I am estimating at about 5 (brass, more aluminum). I will get the details of this mailer later. So in other words one case will cost about $21 (assuming paypal get 3%) but each additional case will only cost $15 plus the paypal percentage up to about 5 cases (again depending on shipping etc).
Keith may not have time to mess with a bunch of small shipments but I would be willing to do the shipping.
So keep the interest posts coming, and I will let you know about the new compasses when Keith knows.
Also any of you who are close together doing a group purchase will save a bit on shipping.
I made a tally of the posts so far and have 10 brass and 9 aluminum cases.
