$56 bucks + 80 bucks shipping.

I think someone tried to start a group buy on those same snorkels awhile back on another forum. But you have to buy 1000 of them for the 11.99 price I think. The site is kinda hard to follow. It says 10 for minimum order. But I think to get the price soo low you have to get 1000 of them.

Holy......
Well *****. This was a fail. I dont think were going to get a 1000 people in on this..

So 1000 people = 12 bucks a pop; so would...
500 people = 24 bucks a pop
75 people = 196 bucks a pop

^ is that logic right? So it would be much cheaper to buy one on ebay?

yea I mean if it was 11.99 Id be all in for it. I think a closer figure is more like 80 bucks a pop for 10 orders or so plus shipping of course. But yea if I were you id probably just get one of the 120 shipped ones from fleabay. Im actually contemplating doing the same thing.

If they actually are $12 for 10 of them, and even if shipping is $100 or whatever, if you still split up the total cost it would be $22 a person. Right? Or $100 shipping for each unit? Possibly interested if it's as good as it seems to be.

Haha Yeah, https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f11/xj-snorkel-117469/

Edit: haha that guys in Beijing, China. And he made his thread like 40 mins before me and I didnt know about his until after I made mine. Ironic. haha

My guess would be he's one of those guys who sell them on ebay.

They wont, because they pay their employees more (USD's) than china, and they know people will pay $400 for some plastic.
