Buying Privileges - OK
Hi all. I am desperately searching for a U.S. seller that has discount pricing
for massive 4073 purchases. 2-3 cents a stud is not feaseable when buying this
many. $800 is not within my budget. Hoping a store is willing to do bulk discount
prices, especially for buying such a massive quantity.

Colors and quantities I'd like are below. I will settle for a little less
if need be.
Yellow: 10K
Red: 10K
Blue: 10K

Hoping to get this for no more than $350 not including shipping. If the price
is right I will strongly consider buying more colors. I love lime, orange, trans-light
blue and pink as well.

Hoping someone can help! Thank you!

Just a general comment for anyone else in this situation. When sellers have
huge quantities of items (like 10,000 plates listed) it's not usually an
accident where they're looking to give huge discounts. The higher quantity
of parts you have, the higher price you can charge. You won't be doing them
any favors by asking for a 50-75% discount on something that they'll surely
get their asking price for in a reasonable amount of time.

I think it's a long shot, but you could message the handful of sellers who
have the quantity of the parts you want directly and ask them for a discount.
Not likely to work, but better than a random forum post.

Plus having a large quantity is likely to drive the order and the sale of other
parts. If a buyer buys a 1000 for coal or water from one of the few sellers that
have them, chances are the buyer will also buy more parts at the same time.

Sadler Bricks, thank you for posting! I will continue watching your store listings.

Thank you sellers for your insights. I am hopeful that I will find what I am
looking for eventually. I know it's probably an odd part to want in bulk;
not sure anyone builds complete structures out of these.

I will continue searching.

1x1 studs are used in bulk as a pour-in type material in many situations in addition
to using them for building. For example: transparent blues and clear are often
used for water; black for coal in train MOCs; blacks, greys and browns are often
used for decoration around train tracks. In these cases, they are just poured
or sprinkled in for effect.
