Hi Chris,

There is no way I want do this on a permanent basis. This is a one shot 
deal. The reason for the offer is more of a selfish one than anything else. 
I want 100 caps for my self. If I can get about four people to order with 
me, I could save about 70 bucks. Here is the breakdown....If  4 other 
people were to order 100 caps each in this buy, each person would pay 1/5 
of the shipping to my house ($4), 100 caps at $2.22 a cap ($222.00),  Ship 
them to their house (probably around $10.00 per person). That's $236.00 for 
100 caps delivered.

I think a lot of people viewed this offer as me trying to step on the Geek 
Group toes. This is not the case. I was told by another GG member that the 
GG is a nonprofit organization and that they sell their caps for 
cost+shipping. If this is the case the GG doesn't lose anything because of 
this buy. I have bought caps from the GG in the past and, I plan on buying 
more in the future. When you need just a few the GG is the way to go.

Best Regards,

Steve Vance
