General inspection of lanyards complete

  • Jul. 25th, 2008 at 11:38 PM
Con badges will fit easily on the clip for the lanyards
Colors are red/green/blue with various light patterns..these things are BRIGHT

The skulls do what I like to think of as the Horror Movie strobe effect in white,green, red and blue respectively, mellow green/blue/red fade in effect, and  solid white

These are gonna be fun, and I owe my boss big time on this one

Edit: Pricing will be as follows
The lanyards and skulls come as one set, so I'll be selling them around the Con for $5 each, but for my fellow privateers from the list here I'll have a stash set aside and will be selling them $3 each or 2 for $5 (I hate carrying extra ones around)

PLEASE READ
I got word this morning that the supplier has raised the prices on the lanyards to more than 3 times the original cost (They conveniently "lost" any agreements for the lower, bulk rate that the Haunt would get). I may have found someone else, but it would still be twice the cost as before, so I may have to end up a straight $5 per lanyard, with the Privateers getting 3 for $10

I apologize greatly for this last minute turn in things, guys, and hope you'll still be able to help support the endeavor. If I can't get an agreement with the new supplier I'll have to scrap the whole endeavor. I'm supposed to have a response from the supplier within 48 hours, so I should have a definite answer by Monday

I appreciate all the good responses, guys. With current situations, this will be my main source of income for the Con, especially since I'll be paying for them up front from my boss at the Haunt.
My goal is to have all 100 sold by Friday evening, and I'll check here and on my previous post for specific requests and have them tagged before I repack them for travel to Atlanta :D

Did you say you were going to be selling those? They sound awesome! If you're selling them, I want one!

I will be indeed! Called in a few favors, I'll have between 100 and 150 of them to sell at Con, and anyone from the Pirate Party will get first dibs (Including a poor lonely soul who'll be working the parade registration)

Can you put up a picture of those for people that don't know what they are. They sound great I think after seeing one I'll probably want a few. Thank;)

Do count me in for 1. Then we'll have to figure out how to meet up with you to obtain them. I'm coming in early Friday morning.

Oh, and I'm getting to the Hyatt Thursday morning. I can give you my cell # if you like so we can meet up. :) And as a matter of fact, put me down for 4?

I would be very happy to hit you for 4 of them. By your pricing it will be 20 bucks. I work in the Ops room on 2nd floor of the Hyatt. It is normally room 219, Just come in the evening (after 2) starting on Thursday and ask for Kismet. Everyone will know me if I am not in there at the moment. I work Tech Ops

Ahoy Pirate Kismet...

Your ship has been boarded by the like of me! I have taken your prized Pirate Bootie as my own.

Fear not as you can still recover what has been taken. Just hunt me down like to old salty dog I am and I'll return your lanyards. Heck, you may even find a little Pi nearby - and not that fake stuff, only the Real Stuff for me!

Hi there, I'd love to get two of them. I work in the Pre-Registration area, and I'll be there starting at 4 pm on Thursday until we close (probably around 11). My name is Cindy, and I'll likely be wearing pirate garb that night. :)

Been away from LJ for a couple months, so I didn't even know you were doing this. I definitely want 2, possibly 6 if a few friends haven't seen this yet.

Where can we find you on Thurs? I'm working vendor security, so I'll be at Con from about noon Thursday onward.

I'll be at the Mariott on Thursday, possible at Hooters for our traditional pre Con hot wings :)
when I'm marking the pre orders, I'll put 6 in your pile just in case

Were you able to take a picture of them yet? I'll take 2. Thanks. I'll be coming in on Friday around lunch and staying at the Westin.
