Help
Posted 17 March 2007 - 06:43 PM
Greetings all. It's been a while but I'm back here now...
I was looking for a good place to buy Nerf pocket vortex footballs in bulk. I need a lot, (anywhere from 50-100), and all I can unearth are standard retail markets where you only buy one at a time at around five bucks each. I'd just like to know where I can find someplace to buy a crap-load of the things in bulk for cheaper so that I don't have to pay 500 dollars for a bunch of footballs.
If you're wondering what I'm shooting these out of, it's this cannon I built.
Thanks,
Mark

Tried it. I know you guys must be used to people asking stupid questions without searching, but I did already before I asked.
I was looking for something more like a bulk deal, with the individual unit price not of a concern, like buying a box or two of the footballs. If I were to buy them in any of these retail situations we all found, it would cost way to much money. I might contact Hasbro to see about it later on today, but I'm still open to suggestions, because they probably won't do a deal with me.

Book of Armaments (Chapter 2, verses 9-21)
...And Saint Attila raised the sprinkler valve up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy sprinkler valve that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou remove thy solenoid and epoxy the pilot hole, then remove the guide rod, then thread your pilot valve directly to the body of thy sprinkler, lest thou increase thy pilot volume by a single iota, then lobbest thou thy nerfs towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall procedeth to the gates of reinsertion."

Here is the thread.. but if you order in the quantity you are specifying, we can cut you a deal off of that..

I think you can also order direct from Hasbro. It would have to be a bulk order because they have to make them. Just call them up and ask.
