Anyone interested in Pelican Cases?

I was offered a wholesale price on Pelican cases today. I purchased 3 to be used as watch boxes... I prefer the industrial and rugged look over the pretty wood and leather look (its a Marine Corp thing).

Here are a few pics of my most recent acquisitions in one of the Pelicans. As most know they are VERY WELL built, waterproof, air proof and have a pressure release valve (YES, a case with a HEV...)

I am going to find out what is required to sell them on this forum in a manner like a group buy... But for now here are some pics.

I'm interested.

Is your source looking for a one-time clearance, or can he provide an ongoing supply. I ask because we use these things at my job (primarily 1400 cases, but other sizes as well), and I'm sure that we're not getting the best price that we could.

I believe that this could be a regular supplier. I have contact TT and Admin in reference to what I can post here. But the prices I was given are lower than anything I have found online.

I am actually pretty shocked at the fact that more people arent interested... This tells me that people are more interested in their watches being displayed in a "pretty" watch box, or they simply have no idea how much protection a Pelican Case provides.

As I stated, I was not interested in making anything... I even offered the Admin invoices to show I was going to sell them for the exact price I paid for them. Which for the 1200 series was $21 without the filler and $23 with the foam.

I dont think you could beat the price anywhere.

Nothing will be available for sale until one of the mods or Admin get back to me.

I verified today that all Pelican models would be available.

I have been given the go ahead by TT to put this together. In the next couple days I will make available a list of part numbers and prices. $2 will be added to the price of each case sold which will be paid to Admin. As part of my full disclosure policy, I will post a scan of the price list given to me.

Thank you,

CBR

On behalf of the Admin team I would just like to thank CBR for having the foresight to actually ask before going ahead, something many others don't think of.

I would also like to commend him for the $2 donation from every sale torwards the boards upkeep, a simple and effective way of keeping us afloat.

You don`t say if this offer is for Conus only, allthough I fear international postage would kill it.

What actually is a series 1200 or 1400 ?

"This tells me that people are more interested in their watches being displayed in a "pretty" watch box".

My watches are in a Cardboard box at the moment, waiting for something like this. :D

carlsbad,

thx for bringing this to our attn. i am interest in one or more to be used as a carrying case for pistols (0.38 with 4" barrel). these look ideal for secure way of transporting. i would also be interested in a 'laptop case' -- i have a soft one and a couple years back a good jolt to the side of it killed a hard drive i keep my watches in a clear plexiglass case which is wall mounted and rarely would transport them en masse. please advise on models and prices available.

A good initiative!

I would be interested, but it depends on shipping costs to Europe.

I know these cases from when I worked offshore, rugges stuff.. Never thought about using them as watch case, though! ;)
