bobbins for Juki 563

[Mojo]

Thanks Bob. What about the U bobbins versus the M bobbins ?

I will keep using the M bobbins because like everything else with my machines, if I screw them up, your going to have to spend time on the phone talking me through the repair.........lol. I know how much you enjoy those repair calls from me......... Kinda like going to the dentist for a root canal. :)

Which reminds me. before you leave for Texas for that trade show be sure I have your cell phone number. I may need to call you some night at 3 am when I am having insomnia and want to work on my machines. :)

OK Mojo. Used your link to buy the 100 M bobbins. Buy it now price $23.95. I offered $18.95. They counter offered $23.49. They only have 10 left and their getting stingy. I counter counter offered $19.00. Am I doing something wrong? We'll see what their 3 X counter offer is. Unless they just flat out say not excepted.

I wish I could write them and say I know you have excepted this offer before, but I don't think that's doable.

That's OK. Bobby will provide me with your cell phone number. He is always looking for ways to get back at his old man. :)

I was thinking the same thing.
I paid $36 for a 100 bobbins. I was thrilled with that price, since my suppliers wanted 2 bucks a piece for them. C'mon! They're less than a stinkin' quarter each!

I know that we've determined that ALL E-bay sellers are "bastard coated bastards with bastard cream in the middle", but I don't think they're making a killing at $23.49. ;D

I have two sewing machines in my shop. Why do I need more than 4 bobbins?

Scotty  posed the same question. My response was "Then why do they sell them by the 100?"
A  1lb. spool of #69 thread is about $25. 1/4lb. spools are about $10 (or $40lb.)
I don't always have multiple spools of EVERY color thread there is.
So I buy thread in the 1lb. spools, and wind dozens of bobbins before I start a job. I also keep a few dozen black, and white bobbins ready to go.
Anyway, winding one at a time as I sew reminds me of my Grandmother. I might as well pour myself a big heaping bowl of buttermilk and cornflakes while I'm at it. :)

There latest counter offer is $22.95. I'll accept.

Your right, wasting my time over $4 or $5, trying to get them down to their rock bottom price. And then I rant and rave when my costumers do that to me.

The odd thing is I just bought that Juki and now we have 2-1/2 weeks of nothing but cushions. It'll be cool having two machines ripping through the seams.

Thanks for the input.
