Are you done stocking up?

[cats5365]

I have a bunch of 1.8ohm nautilus coils that I am thinking about putting in the classifieds. What's a fair price to ask per a 10x 5-pack minimum (50 coils) including shipping? I think I have like maybe 30 boxes or so. (I prefer the 1.2 & 1.6's, I bought the 1.8's in a panic before I realized that I prefer the lower ohms). I don't want to come off like I am trying to get rich, but I don't want to take a big loss on them either.

Do you have a small USPS flat rate box around? For the shipping part, I would see if you can get your desired quantity in the box and then figure out the shipping plus insurance rate so you don't get burned on the postage. Use a Priority flat rate box so you don't have to worry about weight. I think some insurance is also included, so if you can keep your final price below $50 you wouldn't need to add extra for that. After you know the shipping, just decide how much you want per box of coils.

I think I have that covered, I was figuring the small flat rate priority mail boxes, those go for like $8.30 and include $50 insurance and tracking. My problem is coming up with an average price per box that is fair.

Wonder what would happen if I mention kilt?

I like kilts

I was figuring the small flat rate priority mail boxes, those go for like under 8 bucks I think.

USPS just raised the rates, and I haven't checked since then.

Wow all I said was "man purse" and guys came out of the wood work to justify.

NOPE - No NEED to justify, just trying to honestly answer your very humble "query" . . . Now if Ya' said it just a little more humorously or even with a touch of sarcasim - that without-a-doubt would have been a different story . . .

Wonder what would happen if I mention kilt?

OOOO - Now We're talking . . . Very "Sexy" depending on who is wearing the "Kilt" and what else they have or don't have on (and if a real "Scotsman" - Well Ya' know . . . ) . . . WOOF - WOOF . . .

Well - Ya' did ask . . . Just Sayin' . . .

I was ballparking... Right after that I looked at a receipt and edited the post.

 

[BigPappa]

What did you pay for them? Remember, people can still buy Nautilus coils for not a lot of money.
I used to buy them for $7 and some change.

I will have to dig through my emails. But what I paid for them probably matters less than what they are going for... i.e. if I paid 9 and they are going for 7... and I would still want to offer a deal of some sort.

Coronavirus is already effecting the vape market. FT is closed until at least the 10th. Sales are lost. The manufacturers see lower orders. All this on top of uncertainty about the US market. What happens to retail prices?

@BigPappa - a Flat Rate USPS Priority Mail bubble envelope (9.5" x 12.5") can go anywhere in the US for $8.00 including $50 insurance coverage. I know you can easily fit more than 1 brick of the Nautilus coils in 1 of them, too. In fact, if someone wanted to buy all 3 bricks...they'd fit in it. Would make the deal even better for someone.

EDIT: A single brick can easily go by First Class Package, though. I just weighed a single box of them. Came out to 0.8ounces. So a brick only weighs 8oz., plus the tiny weight of a regular bubble envelope...might be at most about $5.50 total cost including postage. Reuse a plain bubble envelope you've gotten things in, and you won't need to pay for 1 then. I do it all the time.

In other news not having a credit card atm while waiting for my new one is frustrating the heck out of me. My shoes have gotten to the point they are so big they are blistering the heck out of my feet, my favorite brand sent me a heck off a sale flyer, and I can't take advantage of it. GROWL

Do you have PayPal credit??

If I wanted to sell something, excess, I'd ask for the sunk buy price + shipping cost. Most of us on this thread have been good at picking things up on sales, so odds are that our sunk cost is going to be as good as someone can expect to get something for.

I PIF a fair amount, and reuse bubble mailers that I get from Amazon and other sellers. Up to 4oz weight only costs about $2.75 (using Paypal multi order shipping - anyone with a normal PayPal account can use it, you just have to know the link to it), though by the time you're shipping 10 packs of heads the small flat rate box might make sense.

I don't bother with insurance; PayPal shipping always includes tracking, USPS is reliable, and for things like coils the risk of damage in transit is negligible.

I've done the above for items up to full kits. I do keep some spare bubble wrap around to smooth out packages, again using wrap from packages already received.

No I am a one CC gal. Once I paid off the rest I got rid of them years ago

Huh? A brick of the Nautilus coils (10 boxes of 5 coils) only weighs 8oz. though...which can easily go by First Class Package. Given the choice of paying about $5.50 by First Class package, versus $8.00+ for a small Priority Mail Flat Rate Box shipment...I'd bet most buyers would prefer the first option. Just my though.

I don't know what they are going for right now. This was a few years ago when I was buying a lot of Nauti Mini coils. The $7 and change price I found at ecig.com was by far the cheapest price I could find anywhere. I'm not sure if that vendor even exists anymore, but I know they stopped selling those coils. Recently, I've heard people say that Kanger Wholesale has the best prices on the Nauti Mini coils, so you might want to check there for a baseline price.

Is this a debit card attached to your bank account or a credit card you are waiting on? When my cc had fraud I was able to get online in my cc account and within minutes they had posted my new cc # and exp date and code. I could make online purchases but of course I had to wait for the physical card to make in person purchases.

I gotta be honest...it has been nice not buying vape gear everyday. I’m not even interested. Between stocking and Christmas, I was tired. I still keep going back to my old setup too even with all this new stuff in front of me.

I ordered done more lanyards yesterday [emoji106]

I do wish I could use a lower vg in my DIY but I am very sensitive to pg. Makes my chest feel heavy and it’s hard to breathe...like I can’t take a deep breath. I had a horrible reaction to pg when I first started vaping. So I gotta stick to max vg.

And on the cloud chucking discussion, if I don’t cloud chuck, I’m not satisfied. I get aggravated if my vapor is thin. I need the big clouds. I’m still low-ish wattage though. On my vaporesso pod I’m at 20 watts, on my solo I’m on 35 watts, and 4.2 volts on my coolfire.

I set my coolfire and have never changed it in over 5 years. I’m a very lazy vapor. I’m so lazy I just add flavors on top of flavors on the same coil when I need to fill up. If I have to fiddle with gear I get bored very quickly.

I've been told that's when Apply Pay comes in handy. I know that the Starbucks I go to in the morning and the sandwich shop I go to lunch every day take it so I could leave my wallet at home and be fine. Would think that you could add a digital card to it too.

Same probably applies to Android pay or w/e they call it.

I stocked up on a few SKRR’s hellbeasts, & NRG tanks, because you all have recommended them & the fact the coils are interchangeable. I am looking for some good deals on coils for these. I usually like anything .5 & under & vape DL around 40 to 50 watts. Any help &/or codes would be much appreciated. Seems 8ish bucks is the cheapest I can find.
These are for times I can’t build so no hurry, but want to make sure China shops open before ordering from there. I don’t want to have something shop too late to get here before deaming.
