He did not say what prices he paid, or whuch boxes he ordered though. YMMVMight be another source for us hobbists obtaining the same boxes.Unfortunately we will never see the same prices and discounts and free shipping that YBBS offered no matter what we do.

-klb- Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I was pretty sure I had seen it posted here back in November, becase I had read it, and I don't currently frequent other lighting forums....Sure enough, here it is.. Not in its own thread though.. Second post on this page:http://lightorama.mywowbb.com/forum84/21876-2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 That explains why after a half dozen searches yesterday, I couldn't find it...the search terms I didn't try were the website address, and the store name, all one word. Yea, it definitely got buried... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Information is on page 11 of this PDFhttp://www.graybar.com/docs/Customer%20Premise%20Equipment.pdfThey are a no go at Graybar they are hole sale. They asked what company I work for. I am going to stop by and ask about being a start up business. I want to get prices to see if starting a small internet business is worth it. I mean if I am going to do this I need to know that I might make something for doing this. If I could find a place to get a one time purchase so I could be stocked then I would just buy a huge order and sell at cost to get rid of the rest. Toying with idea aether way.Did call DFC and they do sell to individuals. The price on the CG-1500 is $10 He is getting the prices for the cg1000,cg2000 ta 200 and ta200bp. He is going to e-mail me back and give prices for all. He said the best way is to email him for orders. I will post all prices and his e-mail when I get that from him. He has been getting flooded with calls from all over the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friskybri Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Update on the Graybar, they are discontinuing these items. From what the guy told me its all of the Keptar products.Arris- I called and talked to them. The lady said she has been getting many complaints from people on the YBBS division closing down. She wishes that they never closed out the site. I asked for a quote and a credit application. She will e-mail them to me so I can look at whether its a good idea to try selling these. I told her to please give me a great price because the end game could be large quantity's but didn't know for sure how many. I said to her all the people that have been complaining could stop and buy from me if I did open a store. I told her the cost of opening a business and website ect. Not for sure if this will happen but might be a start.DFC has these and the prices are as follows.CG1000- $9.00 Not the same one we used to get from YBBS only 4 holesCG1500 - $10.00 looks the sameCG2000 - $12.00 looks the sameTA -200 $4.00If you are going to order Duke told me to email him is the best way.

Max-Paul Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 friskybri,I would be interested in 5 of the CG-1500 if you are going to do this. So, please keep us updated. And I will be one of your first customers if this works out for you. If not, then I will contact DKC.I have to admit, as much as I am on here. Last November I did not catch that YBBS was closing and was taken totally by surprise a few days ago when I heard about someone thinking of ordering from Arrirs and selling for 13 bucks apiece.
