Ok, all....here's where we sit. I did a count. I indeed have 250 of the 1/8", and only 450 of the 3/32". Did a closer inspection - looks like most have been used, so I talked to him - thought he said all were brand new, a few used once. He actually said, there's some brand new, most have been used only once. They all look great, but a lot have a little primer overspray on them, a few have slight surface rust (man, do we know about that!) from sitting in his garage over the winter - nothing serious. Did find one with a drill hole through the side, pulled that one out. So, instead of being "NOS", they are in excellent shape. Just want everyone to know, and if you want to back out, I understand. Guess I should have looked at them first. Price is still right, I assume...

Anyway, I have the first 8 people covered...Sam graciously consented to taking 50 of each, as I want to spread these out to as many as want them. The 1/8" are gone, and I might still have some 3/32" available, but they will go to the first that responded after the 8, if they still want them. They asked for both sizes, don't know if they want the 3/32", but I will contact you, if you're in that pool, so I'm not flooded with requests. The eight lucky winners are:

gusso
sdetweil
nytling92
4tl8ford
gdgerland
ssj7kids
55paneltruck
vintage56

I hope you all have your PM's set to receive messages, that's how I'll be contacting you. It's easiest for me. I think I can ship them in Priority Flat Rate envelopes for $5.00.

Thanks to all who responded, I'll get back with the 3/32 info as soon as I can.

Roger

This post picqued my interest in Clecos so I did a quick websearch and found a number of vendors selling the basic "P" series clips at $0.35 each in steel, brass, zinc, copper and in either the 1/8 or 3/32 sizes. Definitely not as good a deal as Roger offered but for those who missed out there is another option.

times the thought came and went just like happens all to often. I did receive them in great shape and am very happy. Thanks Again.

Can't remember if I confirmed reciept. I don't think I did as I recieved them right before travelling on the 4th. Sorry if I didn't, Roger, and thanks again!

And a HUGE thank you for double bagging them!!! the envelope had been violated in shipment and had you not bagged them, I would have come up short! Precisely why I insured...
