Why do I do this to myself?
Would anyone be interested in a group buy? I have several sources... Price ranges from $.10 per foot to $.13 per foot.
1.75 or 2.2.
I can get Red in 1.75, and then there is grey and yellow in both sizes.

This stuff works pretty good as a ridgeline and tie-outs right? Holds a prussic well?
If so, I'd like to get about 200 feet of yellow.
Put me on the list for both red and yellow of the 1.7, 100 feet of each. I'd take even more if you had green.
I would like 100 ft of the Gray 2.2mm and 50 ft of the Red 1.7mm. I was looking for a way to get two different size ropes, in two different colors and I found it. I love HF :)...Thanks for putting this toogether Opie and all the advice and help you have given.
Edit: If you cant get the 1.7mm in Red ill still take 50 ft of it in Gray
Opie, I'd like to try some Zing-it, probably some of both.
I'd like to get 100 feet of 2.2 yellow if you please. Thanks.
I'll take the following:
200 ft - 1.75 Red
200 ft - 2.2 Yellow
Thanks Opie !!
[Why do I do this to myself?]
Cause you're a nice guy and/or easily bored?
ps. got any stealthy colors; (gray, black, brown, olive)?
KM
If you do the grey (preferably 2.2) I'm in for 100'.
Already have a roll of yellow so am only interested in the more stealthy color.
I'll take the following:
50 ft - 1.75 Red
50 ft - 1.75 Yellow
Thanks Opie !!
Allright... When I get home this evening Ill start adding up numbers and making calls to see what kind of prices I can secure.
I'll take 100ft each of 1.75mm and 2.2mm in gray.
OK... Ive got calls in and have vendors fighting amongst one another.
Prices did go up at the beginning of the year, or so Im being told. I am pricing 4, 1000' spools. 1 each of the yellow in 1.75 and 2.2 and 1 each of the grey in 1.75 and 2.2.
The red I am at the mercy of the vendor as its a color they have rights to.
Opie, 100' of each.
OK folks... Lets clarify some things.
There are 2 different diameters working here.
The yellow and grey come in either 1.75mm or 2.2mm. The red only in 1.75.
From left to right, 7/64 Amsteel Blue, 2.2mm zing it and 1.75mm zing it

And then the colors.

The price on the Lash It for some reason is not falling in line with the Zing It. Right now the best Im at is $.13 for the 1.75 in the lash it and $.15 for the 2.2. I was told when I get a total together, he will work with me on the price.
Still waiting on a couple vendors to return calls.
I can get the 180' spools from Redden for $.12 per foot, either Lash It or Zing It. The only option is 1.75.
If you need to edit your post to clarify diameter or color choice, please do so then I can get a running tally.
The 2.2 has an average strength of 580# while the 1.75 is 400#.
I'll take 6'3.5" of the purple.
Rug... Barney is not allowed in this house.
I'd be interested in the 2.2 in grey.
Let me know when you need final numbers.
Since, I'm a noobie and just don't want to loose out on materials for making my gear. Can someone explain the benefits of the diameters. I have no idea what lash it is or very much what zing it is. My understanding is that the zing it is being used by DIY'ers for tie-outs on the edges of the tarps. The dyneema and amsteel being used for holding the hammock to the tree huggers. And Barney is used to destroy the sanity of parents, teenagers, and lawn trolls.
The bigger diameter is somewhat stronger.
The smaller diameter is best for making prussiks for on the larger diameter line (they hold better than prussiks of the same diam.)
Lash-it is just gray Zing-it, as far as I know.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, please.

Opie I am in for 100' of 2.2mm yellow and 100' feet of 2.2mm gray if I got the options right

Trout... Acer is correct.
The Zing It and Lash It are made from the same fiber, Dyneema. The difference between the two diameters is strength and thats it. (other than the 2.2 is physically bigger)

Opie,
Thanks for this. I was thinking of this exact same thing last. I'd be interested in 50' grey 2.2 and 100' red 1.75. But I'm flexible on color. Who's going to see them besides the birds and squirrels?
I'll also take 50 ft of the grey. Shhh, don't tell my wife.
Please check the list to make sure I have it right.

Looks good to me :)...
Add me for 100' of the 1.75 GRAY
You are quite the trooper with these group buys! Or a masochist... not sure which... ;)
count me in for 200 ft of the gray and 100 of the yellow
Opie:
Please add 100 feet in grey - 1.75mm
Thanks
I'm a little confused? Isn't this the same price range you got the Dynaglide for? Why choose the Lash/Zing-it over the Dynaglide? Seems like it has more uses due to it's strength. Please understand I'm not looking to throw a wrench into the buy here, I would really like to know. Maybe I'll need some too.
check and check for spotz
Opie - Could you add 50 feet of the 1.75 grey? Thanks.
Yup, it is over the price of the DG. Thought about that yesterday and whether or not I should just offer up the DG again. Im pretty sure the DG price has gone up also. I would need to check.
The DG would serve more useful if the price is below what the Zing It/Lash It can fetch.
I thought I would be able to get the Samson lines cheaper because its lighter cord. Doesnt appear to be the case.

Folks, jeffjenn brings up a good point. If I can get the DG cheaper, would everyone rather have that? I wont know the actual prices of the Zing It/Lash it untill I end the buy and get some hard numbers.
As it stands now, the normal price on.....
1.75 grey- $.13.3 per foot.
2.2 grey- $15.2 per foot.
1.75 yellow- $.12.5 per foot
2.2 yellow- $13.9 per foot
1.75 red- $.12.7 per foot.
The DG I was able to get for $.12 per foot. The grey prices will come down some as the vendor has agreed to give me a volume discount. Just need to know what the volume is going to be. The yellow may as well. All prices may drop. Well see how much interest there is and then we can decide from there. I have an email into the vendor I got the DG from seeing about the price.
