Group Buy Proposal - Compactable metal dice cups - UK Only

Found a supplier in China that will supply small quanties (5+) of small metal cups that fold down.
This is a non-profit deal.
Cost is £3.99 each + P&P from China + P&P.
More the cheaper.
Anyone
seriously interested, please put a post and qty.
Currently x1 of these items would be roughly £20 to ship to the UK.
I'm thinking these would be ideal for the Tourni player that requires or likes to take as little as possible to events. May just need something to shove in one bag.

Sure they won't collapse down when you slam them on the table?

I'm thinking that the idea is very cool but the implementation would be somewhat noisy. Maybe line the inside with felt?

Wouldn't that defeat the collapsible nature?

Correct there is that.
Looking into cheap natural blank leather cups as well. Tell more when know more.

Sir Pug
Couldn't you look at getting some leather ones printed?
Maybe something to do with the HFH or stunty slam symbol?
That would be much more appealing.
I know Mad Frank has been looking into this, but with a Thrud design.

Get a hold of your self man, Pippy! Of course the Porn-Bowl will have Double-D cups!
Was thinking of doing a HFH print on them, but that keeps the price rising.
100-200 items would be about the right amount to get a decent price on single colour printing. But there aren't that many people that would buy.
If I did HFH, and a limited run of say 50, then price would be roughly (Doing a rough calculation) £12 each.
I recon that's too much.
Metal cup. Finding other sellers of cups and trying to fathom the cheapest combination of items with P&P....keep you updated to best prices as decent reductions/deals appear.

hey chaps can you help me find a link to an English version of the following site, or another site for Customised Leather Dice cups
Stephane found this link but it's all in German...and I only know the word for "Snake" ...

I'm planning to make a few Thrud Themed cups for merchandise concepts at the BBGT...still need to get Carls Ok to do 'em though...
Metal Cups ... I have visions of David at A&E with what looks like a pastry cutter stuck in his hand -
If you guys were strong like Thrud you could crush any cup...wimps!
Lusya really

You could be surprised how many people would be interested in buying dice cups.
On the other hand, I could be that you are not surprised after seeing the response on your "pot plant"

I'd pay £12 for a dice cup with a nice HFH (or Pornbowl) logo on it Sir Pugtastic.

The dice cups from that german site are pretty cheap. I can only translate about half of it though. Can you only get the design shown?
