NatureBoy's GGTS #399

[Lisaf01]

If you'd like to PM Imeo with the information, excellent.
Don't you think it would be unethical if I took his original idea and cut him out of the supply chain by buying them somewhere else?

can you make a picture of the one's you got!

I hadn't looked at it like that, but now that you mention it, yes I suppose it would be.

I can PM Imeo where I got them, and if he chooses he can order a bunch from them and then you guys can make a little more profit from these little guys.

Glad you can see the dilemma here.
By all means PM Imeo the information. The thing people have got to understand is that if his customers and suppliers just took his ideas and went elsewhere to get them, he would soon have no suppliers and indeed, no business himself, so no more GGs. We either support his inventions or there will be no inventions. Certainly, we will get everything to the customer cheaper, if possible, but sometimes it's not possible for various reasons.

Understood. I have no intention of copying his designs, ideas, etc... but this was just naturally obvious to me because I'm familiar with them. Everything else he has offered is definitely not something I can just off and order somewhere else, not that I would want to anyway. I appreciate his creativity and like to support it when I can. Buying the GGTS was rare luxury I usually cannot afford.

So sometimes when I see a way of saving some money, I tend to do it. I'm a deal hunter at heart.

Absolute appreciated and it makes total sense for you to have bought yours this way - I was only objecting to the original statement that they were overpriced, and then to the suggestion that I buy them from an alternative source myself to supply to customers.
No harm done.

Thanks Nature my friend for your pm and your concern to me but those magnets are 6mm in diameter and button has 6mm internal diameter. That means that if magnets are slightly different by only 0,1mm they will stuck inside button. My magnets are 5,5mm in diameter.

yep, no prob

I see, well as I said it fits my button perfectly so I'm happy with it.. and maybe they'll fit other people's buttons fine too. For $5.57 shipped, it's worth a try.

I'm sure you'll still have loyal customers who prefer to order from Rob and Lisa, and that's fine too. For anyone else who likes to save a few bucks, they can order from where I got mine.

its not about loyal customers Nature, its about fitting my friend. And if I order from where you show me I will save 1,5 euros total for my customers. Not a big deal. I dont bother myself having problems with shipping or fitting just for 1,5 euros saving and I think GG customers dont bother too.

But thanks again for your nice thought
