Please note this isn't a Group Buy yet - just gauging interest.

I've had a reply from Cam at www.firesteel.co.uk after I made an enquiry about a GB on mini firesteels following some interest in the What's in your pocket? thread. The prices below are if the firesteels are ordered along with Cam's regular order. This is going in on Tuesday so I've already said we won't be able to organise this by then, but I'd guage interest for a future order.

Size: 3mm dia. x 50mm
Quantity: 200 pcs
Price: £1.90/pc

Size: 4mm dia. x 50mm
Quantity: 200 pcs
Price: £2.00/pc

For simplicity, I'd rather stick to one size and for ten pence extra I reckon it'd be better to have the 4mm steels. For further simplicity, it'd be easier to supply packs of 5.

I'm not sure if there would be a postage charge to get them to me or the above price is delivered. However, if we ignore that for now, if a pack of 5 was £10, I'd guess something between £1 and £1.50 would cover postage, packaging and paypal fees. So, say £11.50 for 5 firesteels delivered.

The big question. Are there 40 takers?

I've posted on BB. Perhaps it would be better to state a 3 or 4mm preference. I'd still rather do one size only - both sizes would mean ordering 200 of each size.

Preference given - I like the idea of the 3mm since a really tiny one has loads of possibility and is distinctly smaller than, say, a 6mm which is widely available. If the consensus is 4mm though I'll certainly take them.

I'll definitely have one pack, possibly two.

Think I'd prefer the 3mm as it would be for PSK, anything else and I think the normal sized steels are fine.

I'd like a set too please. I'd prefer the 4mm 'cos I snapped a 3mm, just too fragile but if that's what's available, it'd do.
Thank you for setting this up :)

cheers,
Toddy
