Hello all,
Through a series of events, and in cooperation with Peter, I will be taking on the responsibilities of this bulk purchase. This will somewhat delay the final purchase by a week or so, but the payoff is in the price. For the Cardas solid copper dual binding posts, the price is:
$15USD for the short version + Shipping
$16USD for the long version + Shipping
This is a firm quote for the quantity currently requested in wika. These can be purchased in any mix of short or long. I will ship around the world as long as you pay the shipping. I have a special deal on shipping for our friends in Canada since I’m just across the river in Detroit. Please email for details if you’re interested. (Did you know the US is north of Canada at Detroit.) The shipping methods will be:
UPS Ground or USPS Priority under 2lbs (if you prefer) in the US from 48083
UPS or Canadian Postal Service in Canada from L6M 1N1
USPS Air Parcel everywhere else from Warren, MI 48092 USA
On Monday (EST) January 20th, I will lock the wika order. Please update your order, or put your order in wika by than. Starting now, Please send me an email with your shipping information and order information. I will reply with payment instructions. The actual order date will depend on the payment rate as I won’t be in a position to float the full purchase. For that reason, PayPal is my preferred payment method. I am a verified PayPal seller so be assured, I’ll make sure you happy with this deal. Ask in your email about alternative payment methods.
Thanks,
Rodd Yamashita

Here are different posts from Cardas, I've been trying to use lately. They are a bit smaller, but the nuts are gold plated and the posts are silver rhodium plated. Because of different design they are actually couple bucks cheaper than the original bare copper posts. The bigger have nicer feel and look, but to all who complain about oxidation this might be an alternative. They could be nice on a smaller gainclone.

Response has been good.
Please send me an email with your order and shipping information.
I need to know if you want short and/or long, and how many of each.
Just so we are clear, I count a "pair" as 1 - dual binding post. That means that Peter's photo above is 2 - pair of dual binding post.

I have been using a model that is basically the bare copper one, Silver plated and Rhodium flashed on the shaft. Here are the pictures.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

The pictures I posted are for the models CCGRS (short) and CCGRL (long). According to Cardas' web site, they are made of copper. This is how they are described.
"CCGR S
Cardas/Colver binding post, short billet Copper posts, Rhodium over Silver plate. Billet Copper nut, Gold plate. Glass filled nylon insulator."
"CCGR L
Cardas/Colver binding post, long billet Copper posts, Rhodium over Silver plate. Billet Copper nut, Gold plate. Glass filled nylon insulator."

Brian from Cardas didn't get back with me today. I wouldn't expect he will until Monday now since it's officially the weekend in OR. If you order the solid copper now, I'll keep trying until I make the final order, probably the last week of this month. I'll upgrade you then. I'll also verify whether it's coated over copper or brass. As Gnomus say's I wouldn't want the brass.
All,
Keep the emails coming. The sooner I get the payments, the sooner I can make the order, and the sooner I can send them out to you. There are over 140 pieces not including those who have not updated wiki for short and long.

Rodd,
Thank you for being amenable and trying to accommodate my request. I agree with you guys, and wouldn't want the brass either. If they turn out to be made of brass or much more expensive, I'll be happy with the bare copper ones. It's just that living near the ocean, the patina develops rather quickly.

Here is the rundown from The Cardas site

Peter, you are right but wrong
In the big hefty catagory that was first shown, they do have plated billet copper versions. the CCGRL for instance. I'm partial to these plated copper ones.
At the least could we have a choice between the big unplated and big plated? I think we are ordering enough to justify some options. If so, what are the plated copper prices?

2 Day Order Extension
I am extending the wiki ordering 2 days.
The wiki order will be locked end of day Tuesday, the 21st, EST.
This extension is to verify the possibility of purchasing the Rhodium plated version of the Cardas dual cu binding post at a similar discount. It doesn't make since to go through the trouble of a bulk purchase and pay retail prices. Therefore, if they are not available, or I cannot negotiate a similar discount, by Tuesday, I will continue on as planned with the bare copper versions.
PLEASE, DO NOT LET THIS STOP YOU FROM SENDING ME YOUR EMAIL!
There 6 people who have not update the wiki. I need to know the Long and the Short count
I only have email confirmed orders for half of the 24 participating in this purchase.
Thanks again to those who have made their payments.
Rodd Yamashita
PS: WRT the Rhodium plated versions, I expect a similar discount to be approximately 50% more then we are paying for the solid copper versions so there will be a cost to those who want them.
