    I wonder if they give discounts for bulk orders...?

      I hope they give bulk order discounts.

      I have a list of people who annoy me.

          Oh this can't end well. Should be entertaining in the meantime.

            Doesn't say if they ship to the US, but still
            As a certain comic strip character would say: It's palyful, it's cruel...I like it.

                I've got a couple questions related to the previous post:

                - Does the site offer glitter in special shapes (pentagrams, stylized genetalia, etc.), or just the usual squares?

                - How long would it take to unload a pneumatic dry bulk tanker of glitter?

                        With 2 of the Granddaughters converting to Christianity (I mean an actual Christian organization that preaches love and salvation) and the leader (he who shall not be named) passing away. WBC is now nothing more then a particularly annoying footnote in the history of this time period.

                        I have not heard a peep out of the remnants in over a year, and I live in Kansas (the animosity they built with their neighbors is great).

                        I was even amused at one point, I saw a post from a young man who had never even heard of them.

                        I think a better target is the KKK, they are trying to become active again.

                          It seems that, scarcely a day after opening their doors, the glitter thing has come back to bite the founder on his ass. He wants to get rid of it now

                            if I made 5 digits in once fucking day I'd be loving it. I'd hire some people to help me fill the orders and get them going. Once the initial rush dies down it'll probably just be a novelty site. I think the issue is he charged to little. I don't know how much glitter costs in bulk buck if 5 dollars includes the shipping he may not make much money.

                            ok I could have sworn the site said 5 dollars but now it says 10.

                              I got through to the site yesterday morning, and it said $10 at that time. I can't imagine that he'd have much more than an ounce or so (1/8cup / 30ml) of it per package.

                              As for glitter in bulk...Anywhere from $3/lb (wholesale) to $10ish/lb for 25lb boxes of regular glitter.

                              ...What? If anybody here would know that...
