Problem is their charging a minimum of around 11 bucks to ship a box of plastic picks. So it's actually around 45 bucks...and that with the cheapest shipping. I guess that still a fairly good deal if you can use that many thumb picks.

Free shipping over $199 dollars, so you just have to buy six boxes for $210.06, and you're in like Flynn. I'm not sure what to do with 300 thumbpicks, but you're never gonna figure that out until you have 'em.  |

I have an original Blue Herco thumb pick I bought back in 71 or 72. It won't wear out.
I looked at the new Blue Herco's at St Louis a couple of years ago and they do not seem to be the same material/quality as the originals. |

Well I guess I shouldn't have posted this, So people can go buy one pick for 3 or 4 bucks so 50 would cost a cpl hundred dollars.. I have worn out many many blue picks lost them as well& they are hard to find on the road in strange towns.. and if one has 50 probably never have to worry about getting them again or at least good for me, to others just pay whatever sorry I posted it,I should have known better seems every post is picked apart.Probably not General Grant in Grants Tomb anyway.. . I saw a post of someone wanting to know where to buy them...o thats all folks |

Geez, Bill. Calm down. Yes, it's a good deal, but as long-lasting as these are, 10 is probably a lifetime supply¹. I've never had one wear out, but I've lost a few.
Anyone in possession of 50 is gonna sell most of em, and I didn't see that as taken apart as much as just made light of.
¹I bought 4 in 94. Sat on one, lost two. I need to order another 4 or 5

Lane, you're on to what I was thinking... someone buy the deal, and sell 5 or 10 at a time...

I only thought this was something a road picker or someone like me who forgets his rear would like and I for one have probably left picks at half the gigs I played...if someone buys 5 or 6 for 3 bucks a piece,, this is a deal if you don't need them then you don't need them.It was posted for those who do& nothing more.
I also posted 20 brass finger picks for about 15.00 someone started complaining about that post saying brass picks turned their fingers green,I have used brass picks for over 20 years and never got any green fingers,it just seems anything you try and help someone with someone always has to complain about I think I will again stop posting... again... sure didn't mean to cause a stir as I said probably not general grant in that tomb,,:)but then it could be....
I do love this photo

Posted 21 Aug 2013 5:57 am Great photo...

Bill, I like the photo too! Some days I'm the Beater, others the Beat E...
Be not dismayed. Sharing of information is the most important thing, I believe, this forum is about. It makes forum members think and sometimes, like here, brings out other tidbits of useful information. Your information was good and valid. The 12 for 6 at Elderly's is also good and valid. Both bits may serve someone... Thanks for posting. |
