    91 views and not a single person interested. Wow that shocks me.
    I know I like the idea of sticking these beautiful domed vinyl stickers on my next project. Think of the prop plug sticker only slightly larger.

    Just post a reply if you would like some. smile.gif

    I think people would buy them if they were more affordable. Those stickers we put on PropPlugs cost us around $.40 and they are even made in the USA. If you could get yours made in China for $.05 and sell sheets of 100 for $20, that would probably work for everyone.

    Chip,

    Where did Parallax get them made?
    I searched around for hours trying to find a cheap place to get them made.

    I sent you a PM asking for permission to use the logo and name however as of yet I haven't received a response.

    Thank you smile.gif

    Computerguy,

    We get our dome labels from www.domelabels.com.

    Sorry about the permission request going unanswered. I might be confused, but I thought I forwarded your request to Ken Gracey (marketing) and he gave you permission, copying me on the return email. Sometimes I do lazy stuff like that.

    So far I have not received permission from Ken.

    "and he gave you permission"
    Is that to say that he gave me permission or did you just assumed that he had.

    Thank you smile.gif

    Computerguy,

    I'm sorry that your request went unanswered. I·usually refer such things to Ken, but I must have read your email and then dropped the ball. I'm sorry about that. You have my permission, pending Ken's final approval. I only add that because Ken may want to write a sentence or two to make things a little more formal than this. I WILL talk to him about this tomorrow. For now, please proceed.

    P.S.· I'm relieved you were not offended by my suggestion to lower the price. I hesitated to click 'submit'.

    Chip,

    That is alright, no offence taken. In fact I am pleased that you told me as now I don't feel as bad about people not requesting any.
    Thank you for permission. Look forward to hearing from Ken.

    I would personally pay $3.00 for a domed sticker, however obviously others wouldn't. Will lower the price as soon as I find another source that charges less.

    Thank you smile.gif

    $3.00 is too expensive for a sticker IMHO, it's the kind of thing you normally get for free.

    It may be a matter of bulk to get a good price, I'm suprized Parallax didn't grab this idea and do it themselves, they also have the shop to sell them in and could include them with orders.

    This sticker looks really nice! I wanted some stickers for the enclosures I have at work. There, it's a pain to order things... It's hard to justify the ~30 minutes of paperwork required to put an order in for such a small thing... So, it's not really the price that's an issue for me... Still, if it were in the $1 range, I might use my own money to get a couple...

    Also, I was originally thinking more along the lines of those metallized stickers you find on laptops. I think this would look nice on the black plastic or aluminum enclosures that I've been using...

    Rayman,
    If you get a 10 pack then they are only $2AUD each.
    Unfortunately I have to sell them for this price as this is almost what I am paying for them.
    The idea is that the small amount of profit from this will go towards buying more of them and hopefully selling them at a a slightly lower price.
    At the moment I just don't have the money to start with.

    Graham,
    At the current time the price is as low as it can go, I am looking at getting them for a lower price however am still waiting for a response from several companies.

    Thank you smile.gif

    Hi computer guy.

    I really do like the looks of the label.. it is a fresh looking design.

    You need to get 1000's of them made before you get the price down to a respectable level.
    Been there done it and aborted it.. the cost of shipping overseas for such a low cost item makes it really
    an awkward and non profitable thing to do..

    Sorry that we did not respond earlier .. like CHIP felt a little uncomfortable just saying blindly NO .

    If you pursue this try a alu foil label they also look good and are way cheaper.
    again qty dictates price.. than you need to add cost of shipping from China or wherever and than cost of shipping to
    whoever wants them...
    I really do think that this is better left to people like Parallax themselves.
    They have the connections these day's in China and could possible get them made for next to nothing.
    Offer them the design of your sticker and see what they say... if they take you up on it will donate a PropBus system to you..
    I admire your desire to do something..

    take care anthony have a great new year

    cheers Ron Nollet Melbourne OZ

    Thanks Ron,

    I have decided to buy 500 of them, cheaper that way. Like you said smile.gif
    I have personally never liked alu foil labels, I am a domed person.

    If this idea fails I might have to take you up on that offer.

    Thanks Ron, have a great one too. smile.gif

    Hi Ron,

    That sounds like a nice offer.
    The only thing is I do need to get the money to pay for the stickers in the first place. Therefore I will not be able to take you up on your offer without selling 200 stickers.
    as I have sold only 14 this seams unlikely. :-(

    Thank you
    Anthony

    I'm not sure on the legal use of the Parallax name/logo, however it seems to me you're missing the, "Inc." part of "Parallax Inc." Look at our Avatar logos.

    I live in the USA and although ~$1 isn't bad, paying $8.50 shipping is really out of the question for something that cheap. I realize you can't go any lower but the cold harsh business reality is there nonetheless.

    BTW: It may not have been such a smart idea to post such a large high resolution image of your sticker. I myself am an ethical person and it would not be worth it to me to face the fires of hell over a sticker, but others ?????

    Hi Beanie2K,

    If you where to buy a ten pack the $8.50 might be worth it.
    Just a thought, I don't know how others think. lol smile.gif

    Beanie2K,

    Think of it this way.

    30 stickers at $1 = $30.00 + freight = $38.50
    3 ten packs at $8 = $24.00 + freight = $32.50
    or
    40 stickers at $1 = $40.00 + freight = $48.50
    4 ten packs at $8 = $32.00 + freight = $40.50
    or
    100 stickers at $1 = $100 + freight = $108.50
    1 one hundred pack at $70 + freight = $78.50

    So By ordering in Bulk you nearly remove the freight cost.
    In fact with the third example you completely remove the shipping and some.

    ok to try and get these off the ground, if you request a ten pack in the next two hours I will throw in an extra five stickers free.

    That's right 15 for the price of 10.

    This deal only lasts 2 hours.
    Ends 2:30PM (GMT +11) Daylight savings time.

    You could always buy some for your dog. lol smile.gif
