"free" cable ties

i needed to replace some "push mount cable ties" under the wheel wells the other day, (they hold up the side -mount blinker wires) but had to buy a bag of 100 so i got heaps leftover. they fit into a 6.5 mm hole with a "scrivet" type fitting which holds the tie in place. if anyone needs some, i will post them for like $2 per 10 just to cover postage.

Payaya: why don't you post up an empty envelop, then col2560 can put the cable ties in it and just "wrong address and return to sender" it?

Why would I return it back to him when my address is already on the envelope? Unless he uses white out but then the costs will start sky rocketing by then.

no no no, you send him 1 envelope with nothing in it, with his address on the front, and yours on the back. he opens it and puts the cable ties in, then seal the envelope, and write "wrong address, return to sender" on the front, cross out his address, and chuck it in the mail. and you will get the envelope back with the cable ties in it as return mail.
now you've only paid for 1 envelope and 1 50c stamp

instead of 2 of each.

Thats awesome idea! I may only need 1 so I need to really think it I need 1 or 2! What should I do? Im confused! Will anyone want to buy 1 from me if I dont need 2? I am willing to do the trick above but obviously a stamp and envelope if required.
