I too am interested in getting a 5 pack of these things! Just as a bunch of other people. The max order you can place on Handspring is for 10 packs.. So we need at least 10 people. Problem though is that the subtotal for the order is $159.50 + $8.50 shipping which gives a total of $168 for the order of 10. This comes out to be $16.80 per pack PLUS the shipping to wherever we all are. Now remember that if we all just placed one order individually, we would be paying 15.95+8.5=24.45... so we save 7.65 if we all work together.. but actually that 7.65 would be lowered a couple of dollars because we each get the stylus shipped from whoever places the mass order to each person individually. So think of it as a savings of about 5.50... Does this sound right? Does this still appeal to anyone?

I will be one of the 10 people to purchase a 5 pack. There are 3 other people on my hall that have Visors, and I am sure I will have no problem getting them off my hands.

Send me an email at [email protected] and let me know how you want to do payment and stuff. You should be able to just throw them in an envelope and ship throught the post office. It might take $.45 in postage, but still much cheaper than hand$pring's shipping.

I'd be worried that the post office would mess stuff up.. I'd be happy w/insured but then that just starts costing like $3!!

PS: So well, at least there are 3 of us who want a 5 pack... that means we'd at least split the shipping 3 ways!

Looks like you got a nice group yourself for ordering. Feels nice to distribute shipping costs, eh?

I'm planning on using standard envelopes for shipping all of mine (which should keep it under $1 to ship out). If the styli seem like they wouldn't do well, I might put a piece of cardboard under and above them (sandwhich) to provide a little more stability. It's been a week and a half since I ordered, so I'll let you know how long it takes when I finally get all mine.

Would one or two people be willing to part with their graphite stylus+? I am willing to pay $7 each for them. Let me know at [email protected]

Alright, Looks like we're all done with the 5-pack list!!! I hope everyone would be happy to hear that I had already placed the order 4 days ago! I'll post again later on any updates. I'll look into various secure shipping methods that are cheap. (as long as it's a lot cheaper than 8.50 per order!) Again, right now, we are at $16.80/pack and whatever extra it is for me to ship it to you. Does anyone have any idea on how we can make shipment cheap and safe? Insured 3rd class mail? I'm also a bit worried about getting ripped off.. I certainly don't need 50 styli! But I'd like to get paid. So technically I'd like COD but I guess that would just keep adding up to the cost. and that's deffinitely out of the question! Post back and lets figure this out.

Me too. (I'm in Canada - can't order it.)

I'd like Ice or Blue and preferably both.
