Air tite holders/tubes bulk order?

[BullionBuyerUK]

Quite often I see people asking about air tite holders and tubes, I know from time to time these come up for sale on here, but they are limited when they do.

I've been having a look on the air tite website, and if I were to put an order in it would cost me $52 for shipping, which obviously makes it quite expensive. So I am wondering if there would be any interest in a group order? Split the cost of the shipping and maybe get the price of items down by buying in bulk? As there are price discounts for buying different amounts. I would personally buy more then I require at the moment as it would would work out cheaper in the long run.

If there were to be sufficient interest then I would put up a different post in a few days with all the information. If you have a look on the website at the prices, don't forget that VAT will need to be added on top of everything as it's not calculated at checkout.

Have a look at the website and let me know your thoughts. https://air-tites.com/

I know @morezone is the residents seller of air tite supply's, but I've had a look at his stock list and most sizes I require he no longer has.

You're a little too late as I just got a bunch of air tite caps from somebody off Ebay.  However, several of them turned out to be for 'T' tubes (36mm) rather than 'A' tubes (30mm) as I thought, so I've got to go back and try again.  My attempts to get caps have been a fraught on several levels.

Ergo, I'd be up for some A tubes and A22 and A19 caps if you were going to go ahead with the order.  If you go ahead, I'd be in.

I would take 10x A tubes, 10x T tubes and some A19 ringed capsules if it worked out cheaper

If your after capsules for sovereigns and half's, you will want A19 ringed and A tubes for halfs, T22 ringed and T tubes for sovereigns (these also fit 1/4oz Brits).  The direct fit A22 do not fit sov's and brits and the direct fit A19 do not fit halfs

[Silverlocks]

Interesting.  I got a tube of A22 caps from somebody off Ebay and the sovs do fit them, although it's snug and not easy to get them back out again.  Maybe I'd be better off with T tubes instead.

Just for the 20 tubes it would work out about £2.20 a tube plus a share of the postage cost. If there was enough people wanting to buy 25 A or T tubes, the price would come down again

I put my sovs in the ring capsules, they fit well in them

I'll cogitate for a bit - Probably worth it to get a forseeable future supply, so watch this space.

Sovereigns are 22.05mm, putting them in direct fit capsules which are 22mm not a good idea.  Same with half’s which are 19.5mm and 19mm capsules.  You will end up having to break the caps to get them out .

I'm down for some as need some for sovereigns, 1/4oz and 1oz coins.

I'm using T22 ringed capsules for sovs and 1/4s at the guidance from @Orpster which ive finally settled on after years of trying nearly every cheaper option. 

Question, what red top tubes do i need?

You would need the 'T' tubes. 'A' tubes would be for half sovs and 1/10th

A’s are for half’s in A19 ringed

T’s for sovereigns and quarter in T22 ringed

H for Gold ounces in H caps (can get ringed or direct fits for these).  Can also use H for 1oz silver in direct fit caps

I'd take 10 tubes if possible.

With this sort of interest, A19 ringed and T22 ringed capsules would work out at about 71p each-ish

Thanks for the tag @James32

I would certainly be interested in adding to a group order, if it brings price down for everyone - it's a no brainer. I wouldn't be wanting a lot but here are my thoughts.

I would take a tube for 1oz gold coins and direct fit airtite caps for them. So that would be however many capsules that fit into the tube. I believe @Orpster said it would be a H sized tube.

I would also take 2 tubes for sovs/quarter oz gold coins with direct fit airtite capsules, I believe there are 20 capsules per full tube.

Also 2 tubes for 1/10th oz gold coins filled with direct fit airtite caps for 1/10 oz gold coins

May aswell aim high and plan for the future.

Please let me know how much my items would be before you order.

Summary

1 x Tube for 1oz gold coins filled with direct fit airtites caps for 1oz gold coins

2 x Tubes for sovs/quarter oz gold filled with direct fit airtites caps for sovs/quarter oz gold coins

2 x Tubes for 1/10th oz gold filled with direct fit airtites caps for 1/10th oz gold coins

The gold coins would fit an 'H' tube, but the only question is what 1oz gold coins? As for instance a gold Britannia is a different size to a gold maple and they are different sizes the new Spanish 1oz gold coins

I see, well I think it's safe to say the majority of my 1oz coins would be UK Bullion coins, brits, QB, TB, etc.

I do have some other 1oz gold coins but they are already in capsules. I have AGE, Buffalo, Krug. Would they fit into the direct fit airtites or would I be better getting the airtite caps with gaskets?

They would all most probably fit a H32 direct fit, but you may get some rattle from the British 1oz coins. I prefer to always use a 'ring' in my capsules as this usually stops that

Ok go for the ringed capsules as per your recommendation. I appreciate the attention to detail from you. Same quantity as I said in my post but now the ringed airtite caps instead of direct fit airtite caps.

Many thanks 😊

As there has been enough interest to proceed with a bulk order, I'll leave this thread open till 8pm tonight, and then I'll set about contacting everyone with prices for the their orders
