He wont be sending out more unless he has any of the three left from Oct. 25.

Reread the first post of this thread, Chris edited it. You can order your own through shapeways , the company Chris used to make them. He provides a link. It will cost an extra 2.50. Shapeways now charges shipping and Chris would have had to up his price. He states it will be cheaper just to go through Shapeways.

Thanks Tony. And as of today, I sold the last one in my possession. But! Like Tony and I stated You can still order them directly through shapeways. Check The first post.

Has anyone tried any of the other colors? Thinking red maybe for my 650.

No but I was seriously considering the stainless steel one. Too bad its $30.

chris77586 · 11-08-2011, 12:50 AM

Ive actually had a few people order a stainless steel stylus. My only concern is that since it has more mass and is harder than plastic, it may break the screen. :/ Thanks for making this thread a stickey! Anyone know how to change the title of the thread? I thought I had it, but I only changed the title of my first post.

I think you have to be a moderator to edit a thread title. Maybe PM one and ask nicely?

Chris,
you can also use the "!" icon right beside the Karma-Button to notify an admin.

I was going to buy one. It went into the cart for $12.50, but added $19 for shipping. Sorry, but $32 for a stylus is almost as bad as Sony pricing.

You might want to check more closely. Just below the total you'd find:

Quote:

**Shipping Costs Per Country
We charge a flat fee for shipping. You pay the same amount no matter how much you order. Shipping costs are country dependent, to find out your shipping fee, please consult the table below.

Flat Shipping Fee
does not include VAT/Sales Tax Applicable Countries
$6.50 United States, Canada, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg
$9.50 All EU Countries, Switzerland, Norway, San Marino, Vatican, Andorra, Liechenstein
$19.99 Rest of the world

If you'd selected US as your location in the form, it would have brought the total to $19.

Agreed, it's still not cheap, but if you see anything else you like, the shipping is paid.

Tony1988 · 11-09-2011, 08:59 AM

Yikes. Was all set to buy one. I thought it was 12.50 with shipping included. $20 bucks for a stylus is just too much, considering the entire unit only cost me $74. I tested the 350 stylus at the local best buy and it didnt come apart at all when I gave the top a pretty good tug. Think I will just take care of the one that came with the unit and buy a pack of nintendo ds stylus and store one in the book cover.

Pull it straight out completely. We tend to start pulling it rightwards before it's completely out of the silo, and that's when it snaps.

I'm sad Chris's baby has grown up and, like all offspring, is costing more and more money ! I'm hanging onto my Chris "originals" for my x50's , and the T1 will have to put up with the £/$land nintendo-ish clones.....

chris77586 · 11-10-2011, 06:00 PM

Wow, I didn't really take into account shipping charges for everyone outside the US. And you guys are definately right, I wouldn't pay over $20 for a small peice of plastic! Heck, shipping costs more than the product itself in some cases. If I order a larger number of them at once, Ill still only pay 6.50 for shipping and then I could sell them to you guys again for less than you would pay individually. Anyone down?
