Some of the recent participants in then MP Mold group buys were unable to buy handles with their molds. I was one of them.
It was mentioned in that thread there would be a group buy for handles only. It would be held around September, which is when a new batch of handles is expected to be available.
Can we get started on the handle group buy?
Thanks
I will pick this up unless one of you he other honchos want it.
Need handles also.
Well, I ran the previous handles only group buy.
I'd prefer to "handle" this one also, but will defer to the current rules where the number of active group buys are limited.
Also, the handles only group buy was somewhat recent. I'm almost thinking that we should be waiting (one of the group buy rules is six months between repeats.)
And, perhaps most importantly, group buy participants can ALWAYS order their molds with handles in the box, at the same price as the group buy was offered. That is to say, that anyone ordering a mold can ALWAYS get a handle at group buy price.
Miha's comments about September didn't mean that September would be when we would do another group buy. What he actually meant was that the response to the handles was so successful that he RAN OUT of handles to ship WITH the molds when people ordered a mold with a handle set. It would be September before he got caught up on handles.
With a LOT of group buy participants smartly ordering handle sets with their molds, Miha will be constantly struggling to keep up with handle set production.
So, my suggestion is to hold off on the group buy for handles only (as much as any of us love running them), and do that after the first of the year. In the meantime, please add handles to your orders for the mold group buys.
Here's the link for my handles group buy just recently run:

While that group buy started in April of this year, it closed in June, just a couple of months ago.
I'm in for a set.
You can ALWAYS buy handles, at the group buy price, when you order them WITH A MOLD. Miha even ships them WITH the mold, so no extra shipping involved.
If you are in on any current mold buys, ask Miha to ship extra handles at that time. You'll get the special price. Hope that solves the current need. We'll do another group buy after the first of the year.
That doesn't solve the problem of those who bought moulds in a group buy with handles and didn't get them.Quote:

Understood.
Miha ALWAYS offers his handles from his site. The price is 23 EUROS, delivered.
Here's a link:

The Group Buy savings is only 3 EUROS.
You can also always use Lee six cavity mold handles as an alternative.
Until we do the next group buy (after the first of the year), hope that solves the issues.
PS: We veery much wiped out Miha's inventory of handles when we did the buy. One of the reasons his mold buys have been somewhat delayed is that many of the orders included handles, and he's busy making those to catch up. By early next year, he should be ready to handle another handle session.
I think valley shooter and I were both thinking the same thing when we were advised that the handles we ordered with our group buy molds were delayed: that we would get billed for only the molds when those were ready to ship (which happened), and that we would be advised and billed when the handles were ready, expected in September (which hasn't). So should we wait to hear back on the handles we ordered with the molds in the group buys (molds only already delivered) or did we misunderstand, and do we have to order the handles again, through the website or the planned group buy next year?
I will check with MIHEC and see when or if he wants to run this.
Any news, Bluejay?
Handles only thread started. Sign up soon. This one should go fast. Limit is 100 handles.
