Hey Mase that's great I was thinking the same thing :)
I would love to get this guy to come to a reasonable postage deal that is selling them at 1.62 pound or something, about $2.85 Aussie. I will have to research the British postal system and ask him for a reasonable postage quote on 150 or something. 4 times the postage rate to get the package garanteed does not sound right to me?
Otherwise I will look at the eBay seller offering a discount and see if we can get a better discount for that amount.
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Great news. The waterers have been ordered. We decided to go for the individual fine spray waterers instead of the four pack as pictured. This made more sense.

I will pass on waterers to members that have stated they wanted in on the deal at cost price and I will sell the rest on EBay for a little fun and profit :twisted:

Not sure what Mase is doing with his half of the booty :D

My order from ebay (UK) arrived 3 weeks ago. They are all good. Except that you got to be careful when tighten these caps. They crack so easily when over-tighten.
Always we hope someone else has the answer.

In discussions with the ebay member from UK they stated they sold a few to Australia recently I figured I might have helped :lol:
Thanks for the warning :)

In response to what is Mase doing with his water top booty. I am using 100 of them for the bonsai that I have out for hire. They may be of use for non bonsai people to give the little trees a water, it may also be relaxing for them at work.
The rest I will have at the nursery (Bonsai at the Bay), let me know when you drop in that you are with ausbonsai and cost price I will hand them over. Without the great homework and research of Brett, I would not of been able to access them at all. Cheers Brett. Thanks for the advice about over tighting them. :)

Hey everyone. The waterers have arrived!
We got the single item fine holed rose waterers. Got a great deal in the end with Mase's help so I can offer them for 50c each (plus postage) for anyone that expressed interest in the deal 70c for anyone else :twisted:
So pm me if you still want one. I have not worked out the best way to send them by mail yet. It seems they can only be sent as a package which the smallest fee seems to be $4.35. I hope I can figure a way to make it less?
I am also having some fun selling them on ebay a pack of three for $3.75 (plus postage) the diggers club sells a 3 pack for $7.50 (plus $6 postage) so I think it is a good deal :)

I have found them very useful around the house. I have not had any issue with the plastic cracking from over tightening. I have screwed it until it pops the thread and they just tighten back up fine.

I think they will work well for your plan Mase.
