Ordering Information as 2009

1.  MINIMUM ITEMS:  In the Excel spreadsheet Price List, the last column to the right is labeled “Minimums,” indicating the minimum pieces of each item that must be ordered.  Any item priced at $1.50 each or less:  The minimum is listed, which is usually the original box pack.  Box pre-packs change.  Example:  If Magic Cup and Ball is $0.60 each, it may be packed two (2) dozen per box. 

Any item priced between $1.51 each and $18.00 each:  a total of $18.00 of each item.  Example:  If EZ Hat Loader sells for $4.50 each, then a minimum is four (4) pieces, totaling $18.00.

Any item priced between $18.01 each and $49.99 each:  two (2) or more of each item

Any item over $50.00 each:  one piece minimum.
