Need advice on ImageWriter printer ribbons

[jefbla@bconnex.net (Jeff Blakeney)]

I have the opportunity to purchase a large quantity of ImageWriter
black printer ribbons and was wondering how much demand there might be
for others to buy some from me.

These ribbons are from Radio Shack and are still in their original
packaging.  They work in both the ImageWriter and ImageWriter II
printers as well as a few others but I don't have the list handy at
present.

I need to know by sometime tomorrow (Sunday, 24 November, 1996) if
there will be enough interest for me to buy and resell them.  I lost
my job a week ago and can't really afford to buy them all for myself.

Anyways, I figured I could sell them as follows:

     Singles:  $2.00 CDN + shipping
     Packs of 5:  $9.00 CDN + shipping  ($1.80 each)
     Packs of 10:  $16.00 CDN + shipping  ($1.60 each)

I should have well over 100 ribbons if I decide to purchase them and I
have no idea at present what the shipping charges would be.  If they
are too high I might change these prices.

Your advice on whether I should go ahead with this venture is greatly
appreciated.  Replies can be left here or e-mail me at
