I'm throwing this out as just an idea. I know at least a few people are
interested in getting one of the PDA Panache Newton Stylii, but (like
me) are put off by the $10 shipping fee for one Stylus... One stylus
for which one is already paying $16 for. I don't think that the weight
of one stylus comes to equal $10 of shipping cost. Here's my proposal.
We pool money each paying the cost of the stylus as well as a small
amount of money for shipping. One of us collects money, places the
order, and receives the stylli, all of them being shipped for the $10
or so dollars. That person then ships back out the Stylli to those who
ordered using I would assume small envelopes (little padded ones can be
gotten for about $.50) The postage would probably run a few bucks at
most, which means that the total cost for an individual would be the
Stylus $16 + $3 = $19, rather than the $26 we'd be looking at paying by
just ordering ourselves. It does require a certain amount of trust, but
really no more than buying on eBay per se.
Anybody interested? Will it work?
