I was going to comment on shipping costs until I noticed it sent me to ebay.ca. That explains the default shipping cost which was crazy high. I think I'm going to buy just 1000 from a frequent seller and check quality - then order some more if they are good.

"Well, to tell you the truth I think I had my mind pretty much made up at about the 67th glow stick, but it really helped to have the ability to compare them to the other Nine Hundred and Thirty Three glow sticks. I can now safely say... I need to buy different glow sticks. These ones did not actually do any glowing at all. As were my re-inforced findings among the 1000 test sample of glow sticks." Just sayin' 1000 sounds like a lot. Also, I'm not complaining. The more glow sticks the better!

I guess I need to rearch prices/sellers more to see if I can determine if a batch of 100 from the same seller which also sells a batch of 1000 are manufactured by the same company. You would 'think' that would be the case. Hell I bet all of the 8" glow sticks on ebay are made by the same company. At some point it's price/quanity over quality anyway......

I am not one for making sense at this point in the morning. So I am sure you are doing it right!

Does it really matter if manufacturer A is brighter / better than manufacturer B if you're just literally going to throw them all away in a one hour period? FWIW, most of us last year got our glowsticks on ebay. Most people (myself included) got theirs from one of a small group of ebay sellers, and those were the ones that had ebay stores that sell nothing but glowsticks more or less. They weren't the best quality, but they were certainly good enough to make the glowpocalypse magical.

You Canadians are better off finding a nice American to order your glowsticks for you. Most of the Ebay sellers offer 1000 for $50 with free shipping in the states. I remember Fox looking into some last year and the shipping costs to Canada were pretty high. You wouldn't believe how fucking heavy 1000 glowsticks all packed up are.

I found a seller that charged a bit more for the glow sticks ($55 ish) but shipped to Canada for under $20. But yeah, in the US it's cheaper.

We're actually talking about glow sticks. At least I think we are. I can't imagine buying the other stuff on ebay.

But either way you're probably better off getting them from an American.

I always sell my tickets to the first indie redhead chick to message me....im a tool. When you grow up, which will most likely be sometime far away from now I'm guessing, you can start talking about your global concerns.

Yes, I sell to crazy people who I don't expect to scalp tickets because I don't like scalpers. That's ever so far from growing up. And it isn't about sticking around and cleaning up. You can't recycle the plastic used in glow sticks. What's the point of Sasquatch attempting to be green if no one going seems to give a shit? Btw, it's not really a burn to quote someone from a year ago. People change. I'm sure you have. Or have you been a troll your whole life?

Dude, that happened a day ago. People grow and change n' shit. Move on.
PS - I like your buzz words.
PPS - I like how I altered your post to paint you in a much worse light and you're all like, "sounds like something I'd say".
