New Item: 30-pack added to hi-spec braids range for Scalextric.

2:55 AM PST, 2/19/2009

I've been thinking for some time now, that we need an interim pack size (some of you have asked for one) between the 10-pack and 100-pack. A little rule-change by eBay has prodded me into acting on it.

This one, our new hi-spec
27mm 30-pack is my first experiment. If it goes well, we will be offer the same option for 20 and 40mm braids, too.
I'd known for some time now that my smaller hi-spec 4-packs had not long to live, as eBay had decided not to accept buy-it-now, including store, listings that were under £0.99 in the future. They've been good enough to leave my existing listings running, but it was only a matter of time before these started to run out.
My 10-packs are actually far more popular. They benefit from being in the same basic postage class as the small packs and their bags and labels cost exactly the same, so you do get more for your money, but it was nice to be able to offer a new customer a really cheap 'taster' if they weren't quite sure!
So. I've a spare slot on my hi-spec braids page now. I have had several suggestions in the past that there is too big a gap between my 10-packs and the bulk 100-packs, and I've certainly noticed you buying 10-packs in multiples of twos or threes, so I'm now introducing the new 30-pack.
I'm starting with the 27mm braids ,as they are our most popular size, and that is where the vacant slot on my braids page is but, if you want the same pack size in 20 or 40mm, drop me a line (message-box or e-mail, I don't mind) and I get a new listing for those online as fast as I can.
This will offer you a bit more discount than the 10-pack (saving £0.44) and still remain within the bottom postage bracket. It will also save the planet from two extra little plastic bags and labels and save our fingers from wearing out too!
