Plenty of plastic to chose from there init?

After my first heart op I made a cochel of pens and pots for my surgery practice, with help from the great Sir Woody himself.
Cherry from a seed I had planted as a child and replanted when I moved house.
Only to find the practice didn't benefit at all from my gift, the head honcho took the lot home to his huge family.
I also made one for the surgeon who performed the op and got a lovely thank you letter from him.

A good thing you are doing init?
When you say profit, do you take the kit cost out first? Profit is nebulous.

Good on you Barry I often smile when I read of aversion to Snake Skin blanks the Surgeon who came 200 miles with her retinue to save Wilmas life three yrs ago is a spirited young Professor when I presented a pen to her I asked her beforehand was she strong minded she said yes so I gave her next visit a Slimline Snakeskin pen she was over the moon with it.
Barry one of the problems faced by selling on consignment can be the holding people using your pens for themselves I trust they respect your efforts that are highly commendable. I try not to make it a habit but navigating our hospitals I look up because I can chart my way by the overhead lights as seen from a ( gurney trolley ) ? I spent a few years as a Director on the National Heart Foundation Australia it is the folks like you that are mainstays in organisations helping.

Hi penpal All my pens are paid for before I stat turning once bitten

Always take a significant deposit to cover everything before turning or before making anything. It focuses peoples minds:thumbs:
