Supplies

Does any 1 feel supplies r pricey. I usually restock on stuff maybe twice a year, and soon will be that time, and the cost is $60 for not that much supplies

I almost always buy supplies online; way cheaper than my local dealers.

For example, one of the dealers wants $1.50 for Air-Tites; I get them for about $0.50 from Mitchells.

 

whats the mitchell webiste? Bacchus

which, curiously enough, was started by you.

 

thanks but no thanks, they dont have coin safe. ill just order from brent krueger
those air tites r cheap though man

 

well i just ordered from brent krueger and lets see what i get

 

I like Brent-Kreuger. I have ordered from them on a number of occasions and they have never failed to deliver. They aren't the fastest shippers around but at least they send you an email letting you know your order has shipped and they don't charge your credit card until then either.

Before getting into coins (again) I use to order computer parts and supplies and every company I ordered from (even the Mom and Pop stores) sent either just an email or the UPS or USPS number so you could track it. I have found coin web stores just the opposite. I give them my email address when I order on-line but most of them don't send a reply when they ship my order and a lot of them charge my credit card the same day, way before they ship. Needless to say I don't do any follow-up business with that company and I try to find somebody else that will provide good customer service.

Sorry for the rant. Good luck with whatever companies you choose. I will stick with Brent-Kreuger unless they go south with their customer service.

 

Well--I have to order 2x2 now--I found out today that the last time I bought 2x2's to hold all of my coins that were in cardbord flips I got the wrong kind that are not PVC free....rats!

My dealer only sells PVC flips since most dealer use them so I have to order them now....

That's a drag.


But, those aren't really cardboard 2x2s, are they ?

 

Speedy, IMO, your better off leaving your coins in the cardboard holders until you can get a hold of some Mylar flips, or anything, except PVC flips.

 

Oops, cancel my last; I read your post too fast.

 

what company did u buy that was not pvc free? Speedy

 

well i mean what brand and website?

 

I'm ordering them with a friend and don't know what Co. they are from but they are Saflip brand.

Longnine--
I will--I didn't know these were not PVC free as I had never had a problem with PVC...

Speedy

 

I must've mis-understood what you were saying. I though you were ordering PVC flips. If your ordering Saflips your okay.

 

no what was the brand off the 2x2s that had PVC, i hope i dont have any
