=================================================================




Regarding this question that came up on another thread... I researched buying a large quantity of this stuff
direct from the manufacturer.
I'd have to buy at least 2 gallons to get the cost down to a good point.

After calculating the purchase price, plus the shipping charges to me, and the cost of some nice tight-sealing
2 oz bottles, and shipping to anyone who buys it from me, I would have to sell about 90 bottles, at a total cost of $12ea  (and that would INCLUDE the shipping) to break even.

$12 is way cheaper than you can get it anywhere else when you consider the shipping (Micromark charges
$18 BEFORE the shipping, and PBL has the $25 minimum plus an $8 shipping cost).

But 90 bottles... that's a LOT of Neolube.   

Throw a quick post in here if you would have any interest.  I will then promptly read all the
posts that say, "Yeah, I'll take a bottle"  and divide by 4 to get an honest count of how many
of these people really would buy.   

I would love to do this as a money-saving convenience for us all, but like I said...
90 bottles... that's a lot of Neolube.  I don't think I can make back the money.

I'm in.

So that's 25% of a vote so far 

I already have a bottle that will probably last me forever, but if you go ahead and do this I'll buy another bottle from you.

[tom mann]

I'm curious as to what you have on the workbench that requires a large quantity of this?

[Denver Road Doug]

Money will make us all hate each other.   

I'd be in for a bottle...been wanting to get some of it to play around with.

[ryan_wilkerson]

I'm in for a bottle to get this closer to working out.

I've got lots of $hit on the WB and a railroad to build that could benefit from a small bottle of Neolube, but if I don't have any, where is the benefit in that?

Nothing. 
But I have lots of projects that require a small quantity of this.   And buying it in 2 oz bottles is
just plain expensive, so I wanted to see how hard it would be to just order a couple gallons,
fill up a bunch of little bottles, and then have them to dole out to folks for $12 instead of them paying $25 or so.

I used it on a lot of steam metal surface detailing, and to weather track.  But it's good for almost anywhere you
want a realistic steel/metal looking surface. 

[Lemosteam]

In for two. I might want to do the track as was posted in some quality pics here.

[Kisatchie]

I'm in for one, with an option for a second.


Hmm... I've got a 55
gallon drum of the stuff...

[GN Fan]

I'm in for one.

Never used the stuff, probably should be using it, so I'm in.

LOL, I thought you had discovered another use that actually required gallons...like to coat scenery to make static grass stand up straighter or something...

[chicken45]

I'm in for 2!

[carlso]

Max, I would be in for one as well.

I have not looked but you might consider posting on TB too, to get the count up.
