Does anyboy need some more PWT?

[LaChou]

Dear APUG USERS,
I am conducting this improvised recearch to get a better idea of a possible volume o Forte papers (including all kinds of PWT) to be sold to you. We still have a good stock of it in Ukraine. I would like to correlate the (possible) demand with the existing offer. We have almost complete assortment of Forte papers produced before its closing.

I would buy some.

 

[LaChou]

I would buy some.

A guy was selling dollars in Odessa. One dollar was sold for 90 cents.
They asked him:
"What is the point of your business? Where is the profit?"
He replied:
"I don't know. But the turnover is CRAZY!"

The bottom line: let's wait for the poll to show the possibility of SOME "turnover".

 

[Andrew Moxom]

I'd buy some, but would obviously need more details.

 

[Terence]

Obviously depends on the price, but I'd probably be interested, assuming it is fiber-based.

 

[mooseontheloose]

So would I.

No, if I see a possibility of some business here, I will set up a site with 2Checkout.com payment by credit card facility. Pre-payment will be required as well as there will be shipping charges. Unfortunately, at the moment only one person expressed his wish to order 15 packs of paper and I need at least 50-100 such (or similar) orders to justify starting this business.
I start to think that the most important advantage of Forte papers before other papers on the market was the price. I remember hearing many times (and also at APUG) that Bergger was in reality Forte (or was produced at Forte facilities). Now Forte is gone and there is no Forte and plenty of Bergger at Freestylephoto.biz. We have a stock of Forte in Ukraine, but this stock does not belong to us, therefore we can act only as resellers of it.

This seems really expensive. Approx £102 sterling for 100 sheets of 24 x 30cm. plus shipping. Is it possible to give prices for 50 or 100 sheet boxes or is there a quantity discount?

These are preliminary prices and of course the professionally done repackaging is possible (You know that Forte used mostly 10sh packages before its closing) as well as the quantity discounts. I made this post to estimate the general demand only. I need to have a "safety margin" (that translates into quantity to me at the moment) to estimate possible discounts.
To me this is also a psychological test. If people really want this paper, they would agree to buy it at higher prices. In this case the discounts will be regarded as a pleasant surprise.
If people want Bergger or else Kentmere, the discounts will not help.
