hey
Time wise, its all good
What size snap caps do you want?
What size do you want the grey conduit in?
Do you want the foam in a roll?

@sydneynerfer
Nah, its all good.
Roughly where do you live again?
I can probably do this thursday or friday since you live close.
For postage, last time I sent a package for oxymoron, the conduit was about 2" in length so postage was like 11 dollars.
Cost:
- foam, $3.60
- conduit, $2.50
- couplers, $3.00
total: $9.10

Ok, pick up is good for me too, so could you PM me your address? (Not trying to sound creepy ) Does 4pm this Friday sound good for you? It's good for me.

So that's $10, right? Haha. Buy your self something nice with the 90c tip for good tradesman ship.

Oh yeah, and I live in Turramurra. So 10 minutes away.

One last thing! If you have already than don't worry, but don't bother cutting the barrels, I'll just do them my self.

Hey everyone! When someone receives the grey FBR please tell me how good it is! I'm planning to buy some just don't know if it's good in any barrels.

What type of barrel are you useing?
I can make a video of it if you want.
Also, what do you mean how good it is? The fit in barrel?

I just remembered about the payment. Would you still like the bank transfer? Or can I just go for cash when I pick it up? Up to you.

And is 4pm for Friday good? I could assume it was but just making sure. Thanks.

Yeah, Friday is good.
I guess cash is ok if you want.

Just pointing this out, don't you think $1.20/metre is a little steep for FBR? If you guys did your research you could purchase this stuff for at least less than 80cents a metre in bulk. In Brisbane, I can get it for 60cents/metre and in Adelaide you can get it for 40cents/metre.

If people really want I'll sell them by the metre minimum cost of 10metres (because it wouldn't be worth shipping otherwise lol) or if you contact an adelaidian for it, I'm sure they're more than happy to get it. I still think blue foam is better (and cheaper than this crap), but for all you old school kids. White foam performs pretty damn well too. Ask the adelaidians I've raged at about using it hahahaha.

Although, I guess if you live near sydney... this is the most viable option - just research some wholesalers... don't take that long.

Its only this expensive because I got a small ammount. As I said in the first post, It would be a heap cheaper if I get a larger amount. I only got about 50m to trial the foam. If I can sell this amount of foam, I'll get a substantiatly larger amount, then I'll sell it at the lower price.
I'll be getting white foam as well in a little while, which I would be selling at a cheaper price as it was cheaper than the grey foam.

Modded_nerf - I'd go for the white foam. The cheaper option is usually the better option. Especially if the white foam has been used in SA for several years and has been used fairly effectively. You could say it has been trialed. 50metres for 1.20/metre is way steep. You may as well purchase blue foam. I'm sure you can get it for 60cents/metre for white foam.

I'm not sure where your foam comes from, but I'm sure different manufacturers have different densities and slightly different other diameters despite being labeled under the 13mm foam.
The reason I wanted to trial the foam is that, firstly, I wanted to see intrest as I didn't want a kilometre of foam lying around, and secondly, I want to see how well the foam performed. If it was 'crap' I also didn't want to have a massive ammount of foam that I couldn't use.

Yeah I guess your right. I always buy in bulk in the gamble that if it works any good or not lol.

littlebro05 wrote:Yeah I guess your right. I always buy in bulk in the gamble that if it works any good or not lol.

True, and for this gamble I opted for a safer method. Also for most of the wholesalers there in sydney, most have a massive minimum order. The one I used was the only one that allowed me to buy 50ms, the second smallest one was like 500ms.

The last few places I've been have either not had FBR or not have the right sizes. So modded_Nerf is doing a good service.

Sorry for the slow reply, but I'm after the small snap caps and 16mm grey conduit. I personally also don't really care how my foam comes to me, as long as it's half descent.

Thanks,
Dylan

Thats cool, just give me a shout when you want it. But it might have to wait to next saturday until I can come out to norwest cause I'm in the middle of exams.
Also, for the lengths, I ment what lengths do you want the 4ms of conduit in, eg 1' or 1m.

One foot is 1', one inch is 1".

That would take a long time, cutting 4m in to 1" pieces... all 151 of them... haha

159, I think... Hahaa.

No calculator, I swear.

ah... I knew I'd get at least someone with that haha

I averaged a 1mm cut for each piece, adds up to a bit over that many pieces

I don't think we have monomolecular saws yet...

No, but they certainly would be useful in a variety of applications!! haha

geez Mull, I need to have google opened all the time when you're about!!

I see, I see, you've outsmarted me. Very good, very good. Hahaa.

nah, not outsmarted, just slightly more experienced. It was a common mistake made by many apprentices that I've had when sectioning lengths of steel.

Yeah, I see. My trade of choice doesn't work in large quantities of material, otherwise I would have known that! Hahaa.

Even when I was working in a sheet metal workshop, we cut everything with shears or the guillotine, so no material taken off for the cut.

My mistake, was kind of in a hurry.

Very good quality foam, squishing it down with your fingers simply pops it back up. Very good fit with the 16mm grey conduit he offers.

Thanks again modded_nerf!

What Color can you get the small snap caps in Because I need 500 of one of these colors for a Darts order I have to make?

Blue, Black or oranges.

KingCam wrote:What Color can you get the small snap caps in Because I need 500 of one of these colors for a Darts order I have to make?

Blue, Black or oranges.

If SydneyNerfer can get orange, I'll gladly split a pack of 1000 in half with you Cam.

Cheers,

Sydneynerfer isn't the one selling them.
What colour do you want?
I have all those colours.

In that case Me and clunk07 will take 500 oranges small snap caps each.

Ok, pm me your details, and I'll send bank account.
Did you want me to send the 1000 to one of you or seperate it?

Kat wrote:Ok, pm me your details, and I'll send bank account.

Seperate it for us and mail 500 of them to each of us.

How much for postage to 3796?

Lowered price of foam.
Need to get rid of this batch.
