Pellet swap

[Perry]

I am looking to try some JSB Jumbo Express 14.3 grain in .22.

I have to swap in .22:

JSB Jumbo 18.1 gr.
Beeman FTS 14.66 gr.
FTT (5.55 mm head) 14.92 gr.
Baracuda (5.53 mm head) 21.24 gr.
Crow Magnum 18.2 gr.

Thanks to both you guys for doing the foot work on cost...

Sounds like this could be fun!

Now on to getting the "I am interested in something you have, but have nothing you want" scenario taken care of.... I'm kinda out of ideas on this one!

maybe a .25$ for 25 deal on the cheaper pellets, and like .50$ for 25 on the more expensive pellets plus actual shipping costs...?

[wicki67]

Not a bad idea....

How's this for a try...

Person contacts you and says they want to try 25 of the pellets you have listed. You package them up in an empty pellet tin and ship out to prospective buyer. He/she receives your pellets, then they empty out the tin, fill it with the appropriate amount of money that you paid to send your pellets to them (postage) plus the pellet cost (.50 cents), seal up the mailer and send it back to you. You get your empty tin back (for future use) plus the amount of money they owe you for your pellets, plus with them shipping the tin back to you, they pay an approximate amount of shipping cost...

How's this sound? Others thoughts....

We also may have to look at how we are pricing out these pellets to interested parties...
Cheap-o pellets from Walmart may be ok to send to others for, say the .25$ to .50$; but, I don't see anyone really wanting to send 25 of their Eunjins, or Predators, for the same price...

Anyone's thoughts on this?

 I've read above a few times over and, if for some reason, it doesn't sound as good to everyone else reading it; I am gonna plead ignorance, due to being written early on a Sunday morning...hehehehehe

A 10.00 tin of 250 pellets costs approx .04 cents per pellet if I calculated that right, so the seller would actually be making money...If they dont wanna sell for say .50 cent for 25, maybe they can send a lower amount of pellets, and work out the price with the buyer?

I'm confused(not that unusual).... how does a seller that buys pellets for 4 cents each make money by selling them for 25 or 50 cents for a quantity of 25 pellets? Seems to me that the cost to the seller is $ 1.00.... Unless they are being discounted because they are no longer wanted, it would seem to me that its a lose-lose situation for the seller. I think that in a no-swap "sale" situation it would be almost too easy just to figure the going rate for the pellets and just sell them at cost, whether the buyer wants 25 or 100 pellets, the price would be fixed at cost, plus the applicable shipping cost to get them to the buyer.

I know, just my 2 cents!

[skycomag]

this not to make money but to share and even trade with others.
this is a way to try out pellets without buying a large quantity of 250 or 500.
of course you'll have to come to terms with the person you wish to deal with.

[SciGuy]

Instead of discussing rules for swapping, I suggest we let folks involved in the swap work out details and just use this thread for posting what we have to swap and what we want.

[Jay]

I agree Mike, An Paul's way just make's it a nice Flat simple way. Pay the per unit cost plus shipping.

[SciGuy]

Just wanted to bump this.  Several of us have already swapped some pellets and things to be working nice and smooth. 

If you have pellets to swap, post what you have and post what you want.  All details are then handled by PM between the folks involved and not in the thread.

I think the confusion in the cost is people think it would be $.25 to $.50 a pellet and then on your side thinking that it would be $.25 to $.50 for the 25 pellets.

SciGuy,

I am glad that you did bump this to the top, I must have missed it on the first posting. Maybe we could get a mod to make this stuck to the top or...... Another gate like a trade gate, trading guns services or anything it would be different from the classifieds in that it would be trading. Or maybe it could be a part of the classifieds.

[wicki67]

Bumping again....

Has anyone brought this idea up to the board owners, as far as creating a childboard...?

Dave T.

[pgsmith]

Not as far as I know, I am sure the mods read it and they can then take it to the powers to be.

[pgsmith]

Bump to the top, I think this is a great idea.

[wicki67]

Bumping back to the top again....

Maybe we can get it stickied at least....

Dave,

If we request in here not only will it go to the top, but the mods can see that the thread is used. Looks like you are using lots of pointed pellets I do like the look of the Destroyer's and I try to stay away from the pointed since both of my guns are shooting over 900fps.

[wicki67]

Pat,

Yeah, I have a bunch of them; but, my guns don't really group well with 'em... Domes and wadcutters seem to do better in mine...

If we could get this thread "stickied" it will stay up top and not require another gate... prevents having to scroll down thru all the "latest" topics to find this one, after a bit of a rest...

check your PM....
