if you order an insane amount of pods, for example 30, stores may cut you a special deal. don't get sucked in by the price though, the pods may be cheap but it may kick you in the butt later on. i learned that lesson with some pods that never stayed closed or would never open when i needed it.

we could pool money and have APP build us some automags online pods (they will cast them if you order 1000 plus)at $1.25 per pod

Thanks for the info. I just ordered 10 red fatboy pods $18.95 shipped. We'll see how long it takes for them to get here.

contact DYE, PMI, or any other company that sells pods


just see if they'll sell you a box of pods that they'd usually ship to a dealer


if they won't do that for you, just have your dealer order them for you, and then you can have then under wholesale :cool:

Yea, I'm gonna call them and have them switch my 30 pod order to fat boy tubes. (I don't trust the brandless tubes)

Hmm, you know, we could probly do such a thing... I mean Id buy prolly 20 of 'em, and about 3 others here have said the same thing, if we got 50 people to do this then boom there we'd have 1000. 50 people would definately buy $25 of pods if theyd get 20 of some limited AO pods. Hey, even if some people only got like 10 of them theres way more than 50 people who would want these things. Lets hear some more info about these things, maybe even Tom could get some for like contests or something!

The ones First Call sells are made by 32 degrees. I bought a set of them a few months ago, but the pod collars fell off of 9 of them after one use.

Yeah everyone wants them untill its time to pay. This has proven itself over and over again.
Someone lay out $1250 and sell them for $2 each, and hey if you go through all of them you make $750
If someone actually does, you would probably need to get permission from Tom first.

Its all about Fat Boy pods. I'm not a big fan of 2pc pods since sometimes you pull them out and they separate.

I used to get them for $1.25 ea. If you contact them I'm sure you can get a bult rate for about the same price.

well 25 pods would only be 31.25 for people questioniong the price, however we need some kind of reliable person to hold oonto the cash and then order the ao pods....

Why dont we just get Tom to? Or maybe a moderator or something. Id do it, but Im not all that well known or anything plus Id probly screw something up. However, I would want it done.

OOO I just thought of something about this. What if, in a couple weeks or so, wed find someone willing to do it, and then announced it at the 1,000,000-post chat party? That would sure get the word out. Or how about if like 12 of us put in about 100 apiece for some, and then resold them like that? Money for 12 to handle is much easier than money for 50 or 100 people. Id do it, so thered be one person right there. Possibly make like a 12-person or less start-up company right here on AO! We could start a thread about an AO tube mass order!!! Well ok Im gonna stop for now cause Im ranting and all, but do consider what I said. We could each make like 75 profit out of this which isnt a lot, but hey its at least something for our time. Maybe I will start a thread about this...

The only way that you would get custome pods like this relistically is if someone laid out the money for them. It would be a major headache for one person to collect money from everyone, organize who paid what for how many, then raise the entire $1250. If he comes up short, lots of people are going not be very happy, then its a big pain to refund everyones money, or lay out the rest themself. If anyone has the money to spare, go for it you would probably get through them eventually. Especially if you could sell them at AO events. Just remember if you do it get AGD's permission first.
