Hi all,

I was offered by friend whom can make buckle for me, a certified 316L SS buckle. Then I make some drawings of GPFMod style buckle (based on pictures available on net) and show her if she can produce that and she said that she can do it. But the problem is the minimum quantity, she asked for 1000pcs but then downsized to 500pcs.

I'm not sure about it, I only need around 200pcs for my straps, 100 for 24mm & 100 for 26mm, and don't know what to do with the others 300pcs.

I need idea from all of you expert guys here about this, should I accept her offering for that 500pcs? if I sell the other 300 here & other forums, will it works? the price for each might be around $12.

The SS will be 2mm thick, brushed finished.

I need your input guys.

Best regards,
Peter.

I am sure you can sell them at the rep forums if the quality is good and the price is right...And they will help your strap sale here too...

Any sample for a quick look...?
