"Andrey" <antversg@mtu-net.ru >
A healthy red-haired bearded guy of 35 years old, usually makes an appointment somewhere in Moscow, he is from near Moscow. But I think he can also send it, 3 bucks a pack - 100 pcs. These are Czech Austerliz Pins, they are worse than Morfo Pins - a little softer, but you can work. The heads are golden plastic. This is the price for the blacks. Now I'll look for his website.
Found it - http://vernisage-b.narod.ru/Obor.htm
I was afraid that he would change the price.
In fact, they sell everything that sells dry material, but only for 3.5 - 4 bucks (black). Andrey is cheaper. I am now sending a friend to him and we will take 50 packs and if you are in Moscow, I can take them for you, then I will deliver them somehow.

Not so time-consuming, if there is a wire acc. this is how the technology is set up. I do not recommend etching the wire - the surface becomes rough, and then it rushes harder. You can bend the wire over the gas, the main thing is not to overheat! Then cut the blanks, sharpen them on a small circle (this is the most time-consuming part of the process), remove the burrs from the tips with a fine skin and stick the head. At the same time, it is important to choose the concentration of epoxy so that the head does not fly off. Who is suitable for pins with ears, you can drive them.
Who is from Rostov, you have a powerful REO department there, really won't turn to anyone?

Well, you give mlin!!! In England... Custom made ... pins!!! Yes, the rich have their own habits... Well, all right, plates for beetles... really rare thing, because not everyone uses it. But pins! On a Bird - maybe for 5 Merican rubles (I didn't buy it), in the Czech Republic-for 3...
Get acquainted with your colleagues (even if only here on the forum), go to those of them who go to fairs, and order. You can eventually drive yourself. And you'll be happy right now

Helene, life has taught me that no serious hobby is cheap..

Take professional photography, for example.. Entomology is generally free in comparison:) In addition,$ 5 is not the amount for which a person can be called an oligarch:)) I only need 400-500 pins, the same number of dies.. This is really not much.. And these pins will last me for a long time, for a couple of seasons (because there are not very many opportunities to go for insects, alas: the vacation is small, and business trips are not up to it at all). At the same time, the quality of the same "Morpho" is very good. I remember this back in the late 90s, when I was actively collecting all sorts of beetles.. On business trips, alas, there is no opportunity to go to entomological shops: either work, or photos, or traditional shopping:))

PS: Yes, I ordered a sample of several packages of pins from Nizhny Novgorod, it is very interesting to compare. As soon as the package arrives, I'll let you know my impressions:)

In fact, from your post, it was clear that you were going to order a pin manufacturer in England... there was also a joke about the "rich"

Helene, life has taught me that no serious hobby is cheap..

Mey be... However, when this is not a hobby, but a serious scientific work, the same pins and dies cost a large penny simply because of the volume (when the material is estimated in hundreds and thousands). Morpho pins (by the way, this company is now divided into two-this is mitosis

) - a standard option that is used by almost everyone. And they buy a lot at the fairs in Prague and Frankfurt at the wholesale price at once. Dies are used mainly by amateurs.

Dear colleagues!
[color=purple]Don't mess with each other's heads. Go to the website of the Entomological Vernissage company www. vernisage-b.narod.ru There you will find everything you need. And you don't need to do anything on your knees, either from wire or wood. Don't waste your time on this. Others have been doing it for you for a long time and everything is put on stream. By the way, they have a contract with Morpho for the supply of equipment to Russia.I myself have been using the services of this company for a long time and am very satisfied. I have 20 years of collecting experience. So there is something to compare.There are boxes pins dies etc True, the boxes are from$ 25 to $ 27, but excellent, made of wood. Previously, they were cheap( 300-350 rubles), but personally I use them as transportation, it's not a pity to wipe and hit. But now they're gone. They have closed the shop, but it seems that a new one should open in early summer. Boxes of domestic production. For your information, similar boxes from the Czech Republic are there 15EURO., and plus over time for some reason crumble. In my time, I brought a lot of them from there, I suffered a lot.Now I've given up on this case. So think about whether to go there for them or not. Also on the pins. There, a pack costs 2EURO on average, and 3,5 EURO on the Entovernisage. The only negative thing is that they work by mail. Well, like an online store. Sometimes you can cross paths with someone in Moscow and pick up an order.
But this needs to be negotiated. They are located in the Moscow region.I wish you all success.

Well, this is if someone with an opportunity. Especially to go, you need either a lot of people who want to go, or you need to wind up the price a lot - otherwise the rider risks being left without pants

I've been ordering pins from a friend of mine who goes to the fairs every year for a long time. I don't mention his last name (rather well - known), because he asked him not to advertise in this regard-so many people already order pins for him that it would be difficult to expand the list. In any case, the scheme is as follows: he goes to Prague, buys pins, and we reimburse him for the money spent. As a business, he does not do this - he says it is troublesome and not very profitable. He can only lose his pants if we throw him out - and why should we?
He goes to Prague not only for pins (for himself and for friends), but also communicates there with colleagues, gets the necessary material...
Maybe that's what you call an opportunity?
