(Besides a check)would a self addressed stamped envelope help - or are these not of a size that will mail in a regular legal envelope.

I'm mailing these in padded envelopes with bubble wrap. Not too expensive, really. Postage has been the big cost at 83 cents each. Whew! One batch went out today. Another will go out tomorrow.

I had forgotten that you were the author of the great DELTA acronym. Congratulations.

The 100 buttons are almost all spoken for. Should I order another 1000? Is there enough demand? The cost is very reasonable!

Bruce or GG,
What is the cost per 10/50/100....
I am willing to pay for them, and even have them ship direct to me rather than have Bruce handle bulk. Who do I buy them from? I hear others on here saying the same thing. I'll buy 50 up front to pass out if they're not astronomical.

Bruce - like I said before in my email to you send me 10 and you get $50 more for the save skymiles fund. Maybe we should charge a couple of bucks each and pump up that fund.</font>

These sound VERY neat. 
I am mailing some greenbacks to Bruce this week for the fund from 5 FT'ers, and will add a few bucks in US stamps (he, he, no problem for ME with those!) as Joh and I would love one to have as a keepsake.
I'll wear it to the FT dinner in Valencia Spain next week, and then to Cape Town. Bet the Thai and Lufthansa staff will ask what it is all about.

Paypal costs around 8% to the payee. Glen (Ozstamps) is very kindly willing to eat the merchant charge on contributions to the cause. If that's what you're talking about, check with him. E-mail to [email protected]
If you just want a button, I'm sure Bruce will mail you one.
Bruce, I also want to let people know that I can do some buttons without the rat, and just the slogan and url on it.

I think that if anyone wants a large number of buttons, a contribution is in order.
Check to Bruce or Plastic to OZ.

Bruce, as I told you earlier, I expect you could find a cheaper per button rate if you shopped around (outside NYC). But not a lot cheaper once you add in possible art and/or set-up charges, extra for shipping, etc. etc. - and account for the first 200 donated - or not until you get into quantities I don't think you guys are interested in at this point. I just can't really afford to charge less - it's the time involved as much as anything. On the other hand, I will ship large batches directly for you, and do more design work for you if you want something different down the line or want a plain button available.
JRF - Thanks for the info. I will check out Paypal. I may have confused it with a different service that was doing ccards (and maybe other stuff) on-line for people we know a while back.
